Hey there, I've just downvoted you. The reason why is that you would have never told this to a woman who said "I definitely trust [women] more than I trust [men]. I don't know what part of what I said sounds like that when I said I don’t trust [men], not people.", therefore you're patronizing this person, dismissing their claims and experiences and unusual and ultimately unworthy of being taken seriously. Yes, of course it sounds like there's very likely some trauma behind her position, just as there's trauma behind the women who say they'd choose the bear, but that is no proper reason to dismiss them when they want to use their experiences as a parting point to discuss social issues.
It's funny that you downvoted this person because you didn't take the time to wonder if his question was genuinely asked or not ... I took the time, as the person who was supposed to be offended in the first place, to tell this person that they were wrong... and then they corrected themselves... it's almost like you want to be offended on my behalf, but this guy did not upset me as much as your comment currently is upsetting me so that's fucking hilarious.
