85. So something from last march has you riled up during this particular tragedy.

Work on that.
I do not need your lecture. Ever.

You have no real point except to whine about how nobody is worried about misandry. Guess what?
I don't see misandry all day every day. But i do see racism and misogyny everyday. So i'll worry about that while you save men from being laughed at. Because thats the real problem you have to focus on.
I think it is funny how every time misogyny comes up, some dude has to butt in to complain about misandry. It's almost like you don't want misogyny discussed at all and are trying to derail the conversation and make us talk about what you want to talk about because you think your subject is way more important. Or that men are more important than women.

Never bother to try to lecture me again. I do not go for that type of stuff. Save it for your friends and family. If i want a man i don't know to give me a lecture, i'll watch cosmos.

Never think you are the smartest person in the room. You will always be wrong.
