It is because I care about the women in my life, and women more generally, that I worry about the mutually-reinforcing antagonism your type of slogan-level I-can't-see-people-as-individuals trolling fosters.

I want solutions, not slogans. I don't care about social credit, but I do care about the people who are negatively affected by the status quo.

(For instance: I know, roughly, the settlement rates and conviction rates for workplace sexual harassment cases, and it is because I know this that I made the comment about a lawsuit. Even if your "male lawyers will dismiss it" comment was true, it's not up to the defendants to dismiss a lawsuit, it's up to the judge. Did you confuse "lawyer" and "judge"?)

But, anyway, sometimes the best advice is simply: don't feed the trolls. I probably should listen to that.
