Almost every time I write something, and post it across various social media platforms I get told by men who don't agree with my writing, that I am wrong and they are much. much smarter than I.
This happened again with yesterdays article, which is about cannabis in California. The article was citing laws passed by the state legislature, as well as Prop 64 as it was on the ballot. It wasn't an opinion piece, it was a factual article citing law, yet somehow I still became the target for attack. When I asked him what part he didn't agree with, he began berating me calling me an uneducated bitch. Then when I told him to use his words, he called me a cunt. Ooooh... Nice words bro.
Frankly I am sick of dudes who don't agree with "reality" and just want to spout off with their own ideas and ideals. Sure you have every right to disagree with the various opinion pieces I write. But when you attack me for stating facts, and then follow me across Facebook from group to group, and attack multiple pages I run that don't even feature the article, yelling in caps that you have a college degree and are smarter than I am, you look stupid, and I am just going to block you.
Women shouldn't have to battle this on our own, we need men who can think critically to call out these guys who are attacking women with personal attacks, and bullshit, instead of stating facts as to why they don't agree. If you don't want to be lumped in with these guys, don't accept their behavior. I am not saying I need a white knight, I am saying be a real ally to women, show you truly care about us, by standing up against bad behavior by other guys. You expect us to do it for you with women.
