        I understood it and agree with the societal premise underneath. However, you put words in my mouth that I did not say or imply. As someone who claims to also be autistic, I expected better from you. I would encourage you to read what I said again, and think about what I did say rather than an imaginary thing I did not say.

          Oh I’m doing this thing called paraphrasing, to illustrate how what you’re saying sounds to people who are not you and may not think the same way as you do.

          Had I intended to actually quote you, I would have used

          actual quote formatting.

          Do you agree or disagree that shaming of shorter men is a socially acceptable form of bigotry?

          Can you see how you proposing an individualistic solution to that, where you likely would propose a social solution to other social problems… is something of a double standard?

          (As an example, men openly shaming/insulting overweight women)

          Finally: My paraphrasing of what you said is in fact accurate. You suggested that the solution to this problem is for men to just be confident in knowing that bigots are bad people.

          Cool, but that doesn’t stop the bigotry.
