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.

      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"

          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
