In reply to the discussion: Awesome PSA about male breast cancer [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)46. Oh I know, I was being a bit flippant
there are some people on here who like to pretend they speak for all women on DU, possibly all women.
So they will make statements like "women don't appreciate this" about something they personally don't like. Or if you argue against them they'll become defensive and try to pretend you are arguing against women, or not allowing women to have a voice.
It's a pretty blatant ploy and I don't think many people fall for it. But I still feel they ought to be called out on it.
I speak for precisely one man (myself). I wish they'd follow the same philosophy about speaking on behalf of women.

The I.T. Crowd is a really good show. Does that figure into this discussion on any level?
