When and How did we get to the point where a persons experiences, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and opinions can be completely invalidated by the fact that they are male? All it takes for some one to be COMPLETELY invalidated as a human being is being male. Failing that, you can just take on an adjective or two like "white male" heterosexual male" and if their opinion wasn't worthless before it sure is now. How did this happen? I'm so tired of being unable to defend my position because all it takes is for someone to point out I'm a guy, but I imagine most of you have felt this same way at some point.
