Re: Mod Note

I'm failing to see how "calm down, it won't count in a few months." is oppression.

Oh. Well, why don't you go read the comment you just replied to? I explained it there.

I've taken it the wrong way but I don't think it was oppressive. (Though I imagine you'll be telling me this doesn't count.)

You tell me; when I say that a comment directed at a woman is oppressive due to part of a larger narrative of discounting and dismissing the concerns of women by characterising them as hysterical and overemotional, does it follow that that comment said to you is oppressive?

Oh, so men never hear this phrase.

Not only did I not say that, my first two sentences contain the strong implication that men are told to calm down but societal narrative, dismissive of women's concerns, hysteria, really can't you read the comment you replied to? We covered this already.
