    Could this be true for everyone? Although, admittedly, women probably have had more opportunity to develop this skill over the course of their life.

      True, I think most people are quick to defend themselves, even if they do understand and acknowledge how they hurt someone.

          Another man chiming in here, we see posts from this community on our “all” feed frequently. Many of us don’t assume communities have gender restrictions. Would it be possible to get that rule included in posts text so we know about it when dropping in from all?

              But … but … but … he’s a MAN! Obviously he thought of something none of the mentally deficient women who post here have thought of and possibly even TRIED! It was IMPORTANT that he break the rules to tell us how to do things the Right Way™!
