theocritus:

Okay look. 

You can’t ask a member of an oppressed group to sympathize with their oppressors. 

Women are systematically oppressed and we’re not asking for sympathy for our hardships we are asking to be treated as complete human beings. 

This isn’t something that men have to go through. I physically cannot sympathize. What we are dealing with are not by any means mutual hardships I am oppressed in a way that a man could never be.
