(11,138 posts)Of course I don't. However, neither do women know better than men what it is to be one of them. Both of those things are true and utterly beside the point.
Most of what gets discussed on these "gender wars" threads are issues that involve in some way or another both men and women, often in how one group treats the other. To get anywhere at all in such discussions it is paramount that we listen to each other, and attempt to communicate our own views with honesty while remembering that our view isn't the only possible perspective, nor is it of necessity the only correct one.
There are some though that seem to believe they have both a copyright and patent on the Truth and no other point of view is acceptable. Simply saying "you don't know what it's like to be me so shut up" does not make anyone right. If it did we'd ALL be right, all the time.
