I think that was neither nice nor fair from you.

This is experience.

If you had a cushy life, good for you. But don't tell others their experiences aren't real.

Ok, I'll bite. Citation? Any evidence of any kind to offer?

See, that post just read like negative chatter. "Folks are always doing wrong stuff." Meaningless to offer without anything concrete.

This is a pseudonymous account and I am not willing to change that.

I will try without giving anything away, but you will need to help me here:

- Do you really think some people here haven't grown up with feminist teachers who took it way too far?

- How many times have you heard anything about "Girls who code" vs "Boys who code"?

- If you are actually interested and ready to see something ugly, just go back and try to read some "mens day" discussion on Twitter or I think even on HN too.

I've tried to be active in those days in a positive way. Last year I gave up. Any mention of today being mens day on company chat is immediately laughed off with something along the lines of "and so is 363 other days".

Meanwhile men die younger, have higher incarceration rates, more suicides, and gets less education.

And also the few times there is discussion it is often redirected to "how men are suffering from toxic masculinity" which is probably true but only a small problem.
