Nor did, I, nor would I.
However that's not what you said. You said you believed the post was "sexist" that's what I took issue with.> The statement was in context using an assumption about (men), and could be replaced with race, colour, religion, etc. Hands down.
Sure, let's do that.
Let's explain Jane's anger toward white people.Jane had grown up in a residential school,
after she left she left the reservation and married a white man who became abusive. The abuse was all the more devastating to her because it reminded her of the treatment she'd recieved by the white instructors at the residential school.
It's not a judgement, it's cause and effect.
No one is saying it's right for Jane to feel that way, what they are saying is that it is *true*You get attacked by a dog, it's likely you'll become mistrustful of dogs.
Anyway, I'm not going to post on this anymore.
