I have to be honest I am pretty clueless about gender. Like I see gender function as social roles on a daily basis, but no framework to analyze it on a more meaningful level than picking up on some common behaviors and stereotypes.

          Sure it might not be the most eloquently worded question, perhaps also intellectually lazy, considering how broad gender is. But for you to assume that I think its "incumbent on people whose experience differs from your own to justify that experience to you " is frankly ridiculous. I also dont know why and how you made the leap from gender to disability.

              I hate "debates" and I am never interested in them. If anything, you were the one who started out being outright hostile. I simply stated my thoughts in response, that you were being ridiculous. Bye.

          no one walked up to you and asked for anything, you chose to participate (in bad faith) in this thread

          a question asked to the room at large is not the same as one asked at gunpoint. your hostility is completely unwarranted

          How was the question loaded or othering? How were they not treating you like a person when asking a very general, introductory question about, as you put it "an entire field of study"?

          You are absolutely right that it is my job to educate myself but I have to get that information somewhere. Asking a forum of people who I know to have "good opinions" about many other things sounds like a good place to start right? Especially relating to something that is such a minefield as gender is.

          You don't have to explain every detail of how you personally relate to gender, just throw out a book rec or two and have done with it, or just don't engage at all maybe?

          You started out pretty hostile and certainly did not "gently point out problematic behavior"

              framework to analyze (gender) on a more meaningful level than picking up on some common behaviors and stereotypes

              What is the veiled insult that answers this?

              You were from the start and have continued to be the hostile party.

          Woah this is making assumptions on assumptions. Take your toxicity elsewhere, this site helps all of us understand oppressive systems more deeply and should welcome the good faith curiosity of this post
