edit;
I don't mean to offend, but some women seriously need to get rid of this victim complex of theirs.

I acknowledged that my post was poorly-phrased,
I am actually annoyed with myself because it conveyed the exact opposite
of what I was endeavoring to say.


I don't mind if people disagree with me,
but I don't like being misunderstood,
and I hate when it is my own fault,
which it is, in this case.

I actually agree with LemonVariable insofar it should NEVER become a contest
as to which group suffers more;

there is no excuse for ignorance, stereotyping, or stigmatizing, ANYWHERE.


However, both you and LemonVariable are guilty of labeling feminism as "victims".

It is one thing if he wants to criticize me for sounding like I am starting a competition to see who is the most oppressed; that is valid.

But for him, or you, to turn around and say that feminists need to stop whining and playing the victim card
is unacceptable;

This is self-contradictory for LemonVariable to draw attention to how Autistic people are stigmatized,
yet call feminists victims.

Women are still paid less than men,
still oppressed in many parts of the world,
still having their genitals mutilated,
and right here, in North America, we also face a growing problem of human trafficking of young women;

...yet he wants to dismiss any feminists as "victims",
while holding up Autistic people as unfairly persecuted
Yep, although never diagnosed, I suspect I have Asperger's myself, and life can get quite unfair for me given that this social world was "made" best for "neurotypicals", but I can simultaneously accept that women still have it pretty bad compared to men. Like you say, we should all be in this together rather than opposing each other.
