Ageist much there? You want us all to open our minds about the plight of young men, but say this? I'm 51, I'm multiracial and a woman and I will say whatever I want. I don't need permission.

I write and speak from my own experiences and my own life. Don't like it, scroll on.

I don't hate men. I married one. There are good men. There are bad ones. Just like there are good women and bad ones.

You make blanket statements without supporting data, but I'm willing to overlook it for now.

Let me ask you, do you walk in fear for your safety because of your gender? Do you hesitate before walking alone to your car when it's dark because of your gender? Do you avoid going places because you know you're going to be harrassed because of your gender? Have you been criminall stalked and harrassed because of your gender? Have you been subjected to derogatory comments as you go about your day because of your gender?

I have. Most of us women have. No, it's not all men. It's not even most men and maybe younger men are intelligent enough to know not to do that stuff. Good, but it still happens and I for one will not be silent about it.
