thoughts about finding common ground with blue collar men and feminism

[Regrell]

11. I hope so.

If you truly, truly believe that the word is the largest barrier to discussion, I'll edit it out.

But right now, I'm not getting a whole lot of good faith from anyone except you. I didn't come here to sew stealth MRA talking points in a feminist forum. I'm trying to address something that has been bugging me. And it's NOT all on feminists to get the ball rolling. As I work in tech, and most of my friends are men just by sheer proportion of people I come across, this is something that we've been talking about. I think male software engineers were incredible beneficiaries of feminist challenges to "traditional masculinity" and allowed engineers' cultural and economic ascendance.
