Meh

 I've noticed a tendency to only blog when I feel bad, mentally or physically. Today I'm wrung out after trying to explain to a very self-centered gay man why women tend to blame men when laws get passed that curtail women's rights.  He was taking it personally and assuming "men" meant "all men".  Nothing is further from the truth.  It spiralled out of control with him getting progressively hostile, taking everything thing I said as a personal attack even though I explained this had nothing to do with him personally.  As a gay man it has absolutely nothing to do with him. Why he felt it did is beyond my grasp.  I patiently explained how most of our elected government officials are old men, leaders of religions are old men and that 99% of women he knew had experienced some type of trauma or mistreatment from men. He didn't get it.  Kept insisting that since 60% of female voters were against this law that we actually had the power in this situation. I hope one day he grows up enough to have some empathy.  As of right now if he were hetero and the last man on earth I wouldn't come within 100 miles of him.
