Is pondering about the word "emasculate" and its etymology and modern usage the same as saying "men suck"?

    No. I’m speaking about the general theme of much of the content posted here.

    It’s very “compare to the other” instead of “lift us up”

    Bit of an odd thing to bring up on this post then.

    Can you share the post where we're comparing ourselves to men? I haven't seen such a discussion here.

    I have seen some sensitive topics broached like abuse or no fault divorce be discussed, but I just scrolled through the last few weeks and can't find what you're referencing.

    Did you mean to link to this same conversation that you just said wasn't an example?

    This leads back to this post.

    Edit: Unless you're thinking that talking about masculinity is the same as comparing ourselves to men?

    Yes. This post is an example.

    My no was to your interpretation of my meaning, you asked me a yes or no question to which I responded “no”

    Edit: Unless you're thinking that talking about masculinity is the same as comparing ourselves to men?

    I don’t read this as simply “talking about masculinity”, I’m not interested in changing how you read this because to be frank I don’t put much weight into your take or point.

    This post isn't about women comparing ourselves to men or saying we hate men. It's a word nerd post more than anything.

    You're more than welcome to ignore the posts that are talking about gender ideology and sexism if the points we're making go over your head.
