    Can you specify where I distinctly put men in to two groups? Where I stated who is and is not a man? Otherwise I am having difficult time understanding where your conclusions are coming from.

    I feel like my words are being misrepresented but I do not know what I am doing wrong in this situation to understand if I should defend or change myself.

    I do not know what line I am drawing in the sand when I was talking about a type of person, especially one I’ve had too much experience dealing with personally.

    There are many types of people and people are not as simple as an on/off switch.

      I’m not the person who you’re discussing things with already, but to chime in in case it’s useful.

      It’s quite clear to me that these types of “men” just want women to be slaves or corpses.

      When I read this, it reads to me as “these types of so-called men” or “these types of self-defined ‘true men’” which may or may not be your intention.

      I think there’s a divide here on the perception of your phrasing, perhaps?

        Yeah, I can see where that can be ambiguous. My intention was not to be divisive. That is definitely something I can keep in mind for the next time.

        Thank you for pointing that out.
