(47,209 posts)do inappropriate things over the years. Not friends or close associates. Do you not ever socialize outside your core group? You've never ever met a sexist jerk? Seriously?
And there are micro cultures out there where all kinds of nasty shit is tolerated by otherwise decent people. Many have an aversion to speaking up- apparently including the "liberal" men here who request all women be nice and reward them or else they'll look the other way.
If any woman dares to be ungrateful for an opened door or is superficial and dates an apha, it's a valid reason to let the rest of us be "on our own" and be treated like shit. We hear this crap on DU all the time. Bitter selfish rationalizations. "I'd support feminists but..."
Fuck that.
Not giving you a cookie for being a decent human being. Get over yourself.
