I hear ya, and I'll take that perspective into account in the future. I myself have been sexually harassed; the experience was terrible, and I'm a big ole cis white guy. I can only imagine that it's worse/compounded if you're part of a marginalized community. I still don't see the connection between this particular circumstance and that critique of communication dynamics, though, but maybe that's just my ignorance showing. Without a longer discussion in a more conducive forum I'm not sure if I'll be able to get there today.

Thank you for expanding a bit on your perspective, despite the unarguably negative/hostile space. I had a hate/meme train roll up on me on this site previously, and boy does it suck, so I can definitely relate to being on the receiving end of that. I deleted my comments to get away from the negativity at a certain point since having my inbox fill up with it is really unpleasant. I can see that happening to you now, and for real I empathize with you there for sure.
