The "Men don't care because whatever" stereotype. (Whatever because there are a lot of reasons given...)

It is my problem, but I am choosing to make it "not my problem".

As for what spawned it Tiruin... Mainly that the arguments I've been in. I don't want to have another one ever again.

If it's "not your problem", why the hell did you make such an inflammatory post on the subject? ???
You seem to be trying to bait someone into arguing with you about it... and not even in the designated thread for such discussion.

Hopefully not- if any such argument wants to begin can it please do so over in the thread for it? :P

...You've to note that there are some corrupted thoughts which accuse even those who mean well because they seem the same. Emphasis 'seem'. Problem being that one point on you being called sexist is...also on the interpreter's side. There's a difference between ignorance and idiocy/sexism as there is also a difference on interpretation.
Maybe its how you worded it that made it look bad even if its not bad at all?
Though I believe its becoming apparent that something you did to distance yourself from it is in error too.
There are those who fight for gender equality, and there are those that [presumably, selfishly] fight for their gender. There's a difference there too.

My guess is you're troubled because you're ignoring something that isn't wholly...right, and you do know that you could do something about it--you could be labelled, yeah, that's a fear that somehow now exists today but you could also stand on your case and explain it.

Though all of this is too general. Was that one case situational (and I'm moving this to PMs...)

Ohh for sure but I cannot word it any better.

It is that I am ignoring something that is wrong... and too many a time when I do, do something about it... I just end up feeling bad from the very same people I am supposedly on the same side of. As well I don't help anyone, usually making it pointless for me to have attempted it.

It is too stressful and emotionally draining... but at the same time it feels so wrong not to.

When I chose to do this, I accepted that I would get a label because of this... but at least it a label I chose.

Quote

Not really... All I said was that I am still doing the stepping out

That it went REALLY well in every sense.

But that I am feeling a moral dilemma because of it, but that every experience so far has supported that this decision is the logical and moral one... but that it is still disturbing me.

everyone who could be angry at me for this, has been in arguments with me on the subject and knows I should be keeping my trap shut about the subject. While the responses up until now has generally been supportive.

If I AM seeking someone to argue with me subconsciously, I am hoping someone can talk me out of it... not to solidify my choice to bow out.

Steam.

I sent a guy a trade offer and he sent me a counter-offer. I can't view it in Steam because for some reason the "Your trade offer has been sent!" window opens whenever I open my inventory or any trades and I can't close it. So I log into Steam in my browser and try to trade, but apparently I can't because my browser is a new device (even though I've totally fucking logged in on Chrome on this computer before).

I'm not even going to try another option because Steam will probably fuck that up too. Hopefully my thing can un-glitch itself.

Ugh. I forgot to pack my phone charger (is that how it's called?) when we were leaving our grandparents', and for some reason the one my sister has at this club decided to stop working,

And my battery can die anytime now. And we won't be leaving for the next hour.
Fuck this.

Was browsing frontpage on Imgur, and one image was of some dudes kissing for some reason. I went to the next image as my mum walked in (I'm back from uni) and she immediately assumed I was looking at porn, now she keeps making comments about it.

To actually show her the image would only make it more awkward because it was both men, and not being gay or even bisexual, I had no interest. But there's no way I can explain that it wasn't porn without showing the image, and no way to say I saw an image of two dudes kissing without sounding dodgy.

Damnit Imgur.

I will say that about 80% of our interactions have involved you and I basically trying to say the same thing, but the way your post reads makes me believe you're trying to say the exact opposite thing and in an extremely polarizing way. I didn't make a post about it anywhere, but I have been purposefully trying to scale back the times these things are occurring (unless sleep deprivation is preventing my logic centers from activating) by not responding to posts of yours that trigger these reactions in me because we simply don't communicate in the same way.

This has cut down on my arguments on these forums by some kind of statistically measurable volume.

But this is only anecdotal evidence of any kind at best.

Edit: (has also affected my posts-per-day in a measurable amount too O_o;)

I can't get to sleep. And of course, I'm impatient and dumb so I sit on the computer instead.
Kinda wish I had some kind of sleep medication. :( I need to catch a train in a few hours.

Maybe I'll catch a train which terminates at my stop, and then catch some Zs on the way and hope I'm not robbed or murdered. :P

surprisingly i found trains to be one of the safer environments to be in, if only for the reputation as places where you get stabbed and murdered

some countries have problems with women on trains, but for me that can be resolved by waiting a day or two (or just pushing myself a fair bit), so vOv

I know right? Those rowdy women, roaming in packs and mercilessly attacking us poor mensfolk.
I live in fear, every time I leave my house. You never know when there might be a feminist lurking in the shadows around the corner.
