You bet! You know, I write on Medium and publish columns in LGBTQ newspapers because of flat earthers, at least indirectly.

Years ago, my then business partner and I were pretty darn close. His brother, a really nice guy, got sucked into flat Earth conspiracy theories on YouTube. My business partner and I conducted all kinds of cool scientific experiments with him to show him that the Earth is not flat. We did not succeed.

Anyhoooo... in the process, I started writing little articles debunking flat Earth ideas and soon landed on Quora, where I started writing about all sorts of things. That led me to Medium and eventually to queer publications.

But anyway, speaking of mind blowing, debunking flat Earth ideas is perhaps as frustrating as trying to deal with misogynists and people who defend the patriarchy.

My mind got blown yesterday when I got a comment on a Medium comment.

I don't even remember the original article I was commenting on. I just casually mentioned that women's public restrooms (in a kinder or more just world) would be larger than men's rooms because women don't use urinals and stalls take up a lot more space.

I mean, you know, everybody can see the long lines to women's rooms at concerts and other public events. Doesn't take a degree in rocket science to know that we should probably change things around a little bit.

I didn't think anything of that comment, and didn't think about it again for months until yesterday, when a man who's evidently deeply invested in misogyny had an absolute hissy over it.

I mean, really?

Designing larger women's rooms wouldn't impact this guy in any way, except perhaps to make some women in his life happier.

But instead of just reading my comment and shrugging it off as irrelevant to him, he had to decry "woke-ism" and complain about the "radical left," as well as suggesting that since women's bodies are different, maybe they should just suffer in silence.

How freaking misogynistic is that? And how petty?

Imagine how guys like this respond to women's issues that are more critical.

Well, you don't have to imagine. You just wrote a whole article about it. Sigh.
