This post got banned from !memes@lemmy.world for reason “Troll Posting” which is Very Disrespectful in my opinion. 😕

I mean this meme with full respect and love to my fellow community members and I was proud of the discussion and support it was creating.

EDIT: POST RESTORED YAY. (Thank you to the mods it turned out to be a misunderstanding.)

Important clarification/FAQ

I am not calling to coddle or excuse the behavior of bigoted men in any way!

I am calling to be kind and understanding to young men (often ages 10-20) who are very manipulable and succeptible to the massive anti feminist propaganda machine. Hope this clarifies that very important distinction. :)

Very good comments that express key points:

    Everyone has a right to be heard.

    Everyone has a right to their pain.

    Someone else’s pain being acknowledged and addressed does not invalidate yours.

    Comparing pain leads only to a race to the bottom when we should all be lifting each other up.

      Acknowledging someone’s pain also makes it easier to understand their motives, find common ground, and love forward together
