This is more of a mutual girl friend, we went to school together and had hung out in groups, but we didn't talk much (although it was always friendly and fun when we did!)
I don't yell from the rooftops about disliking feminism, and not thinking men are evil toxic monsters, and I dont share those views unless asked. (crazy that "men are decent" is controversial now) I remember engaging in banter about feminism on a mutual friends facebook and she privately messaged me to ask "If I was serious of if that was a joke?" um yeah... I told her im serious. she asked one or two questions which remained civil and then continued to not talk to me for years. Which I didn't really notice since we don't talk much anyways.
But I guess she had it in mind still, yesterday she messaged me to ask if I "still held my views" and I took of time to explain some of my views (all friendly like, nothing too serious) and she responded "gross. You are the only person I would consider a friend who thinks that way and I wanted to see if it changed."
How rude of a person can you be? I guarantee if I said "ugh I was so wrong in the past, men are evil and you were right!" we would have had a long friendly discussion! But this is so weird - was I on some sort of silence punishment until my views changed?
Ive been trying to make new friends lately and also trying to be more open about my lifestyle and views with them - but situations like this are so discouraging to trying to be my open self :( Has this sort of thing happened to you and are you ladies open with your friends?
