Oh, I sincerely believe everything you've related -- glad you cleared up the w for me. I've felt that about the entire stupid movement, which started with feminism into woke: Very evil, rude, nasty, ugly, poorly-mannered, entitled followers of old Scratch himself.
There. I've finally let it out.
Oh, you are so very right ... when I saw this, I kid you not -- I had to go to the bathroom.
Like you, I am completely baffled by the same puzzle: How/why can they NOT SEE THIS?
< frustrated today >
Ooooh, yes yes, I see what you're saying -- I completely missed it. I guess the only real PROOF isn't proof to anyone other than the one FEELING the hurt of those words.
I concede -- you win :)
But you know what my thought right after that is?
"Just because my words hurt you (with or without proof), you don't get to retaliate violently."
