I never said my SO was a woman, I never said my SO and I were having problems, I never asked for advice; I made a counterargument to the argument in the article, sharing a single moment of my life, and talking equally about my SO as much as

I know I said my other comment was my last word, but I've found a more productive way to express this. This group of commenters in this subthread are laboring under the misunderstanding that I don't understand this criticism; I ac

They are lovely and compassionate people, they're simply unable to extend that to me, partly because they're blinded by societal expectations of men (they often don't really see me as an emotional creature), partly because th
