While that happened, around the globe men are marching on the streets dressed like that. And they called it pride. And if those who disagree, are either called boring (gay men), or homophobic.
Don't expect anything to change while kids grow with movies that portray women with impossible physical dimensions, or blockbusters where women are not in for their being smart or funny or cool.
And guess what the whole comics community had to complain about when the cast for wonder woman was announced. Yes, her being to skinny. As in having small boobs.
Things might be better next year, or the next decade, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
> implying if someone tells you to never try to understand women, it must mean women are unreasonable.
> implying if someone tells you to never try to understand women, they must be a misogynist
> implying if someone calls women unreasonable, then they must hate them
Protip: instead of calling out the community:
> I think the community is at fault.
Why not speak for yourself and simply call out your own values? It will be more authentic and you'll find people will actually gravitate to you.
If that speaker's opinion about communicating with women violated your own deeply-cherished values, then by all means, make an <h1> tag and say "This violates my own deeply-cherished values", then try to explain why, and try to persuade them to act differently, more like you when you're at your best.
As Malcolm X said, "You've got to show people you have a cleaner glass of water."
When you use bad logic and your imagination to mistakenly imply what someone else means, particularly when you're calling them out personally in a negative way(in this case, by linking to their Twit feed), you're just demonstrating your own lack of comprehension and desire for drama.
When you don't alienate people, you won't have the empty pleasure of the martyr in saying, "Everyone else (the community) is wrong," or the sweet pleasure of reinforcing your negative thinking, BUT people will actually respect your opinion.
