As a survivor of female on male domestic abuse, group-based homophobic and gender conformity related abuse, homelessness, physical and mental illness, and unnecessary pharmaceuticals, I don't have too much shut up and listen to my sexist narrative about sexism left in me. You may think men don't have to struggle with sexism, but my life has been a repeated reminder otherwise. Meanwhile there's always some wealthy cisgendered heterosexual college graduate with a perfectly functioning mind and body that feels the need to tell me how easy I've had it compared to women.

Can you see why I wouldn't jump to automatically assuming a one-way misogynistic narrative with no supporting evidence?
