I can't bring myself to be mad at a woman no matter what.
The story
Maybe I'm too "woke" or something but I can't bring myself to be mad at a woman. At all.
Throughout all my current years and childhood moving up into adulthood, I feel like i can't exactly be mad at a woman no matter what it is she does. Women gave gone through decades of suffering and being silenced, and they still are in a world where we're supposed to be helping them — aiding them.
I don't feel comfortable hating or kinkshaming a woman, but it's strange because I feel more than comfortable to kinkshame a man. Does this make sense to any of you? I'd defend women with my life as a man, but I wouldn't really care about men unless they're close to me.
In the same vein I feel horrible when I see a sad woman, but not so much for a man despite being a male myself. To me, their decades of suffering makes me feel like women do not deserve to suffer any longer just for being a woman — and that is true to me — men have been at the "top" for a while, so I suppose I switched things up and my brain isn't very lenient to them?
It's a strange train of thought that I'm not sure has any origin, is it a good thing? A bad thing?
My apologies I just needed to get some of it out.

Points of view
Alright, my dude, I get where you're coming from, but honestly, this "can't be mad at women" thing is a bit out there. It seems like you're putting women on some pedestal that they never asked to be put on in the first place. Sure, lots have had it rough historically (with oppression and all that jazz) but the idea of not holding someone accountable just because of their gender doesn't really sit right with me. It's kind of like letting people off the hook for crappy behavior just because they belong to a group that's been marginalized.
Also if you think about it this way: everyone deserves to be treated with fairness and caught up in that equality vibe… no free passes based on your anatomy. You mention defending women with your life, which is noble and all, but maybe try considering individuals independently rather than as part of some broad category deserving your sympathy or ire. We're all in this mess together!
Man, I can see where you're going with this, but it feels like you’re swinging a bit too far the other way. Sure, women have faced tons of crap over history, no doubt about that. But treating women like they're fragile or never wrong kinda misses the point of equality. Everyone’s got their highs and lows; making mistakes is part of being human regardless of gender.
I remember this one time my sister pulled a prank on me that went way too far and I was ticked off...still loved her to bits though! It taught me that being peeved sometimes just means you're acknowledging we're all human. Maybe think about it like this: respect people equally enough to call out everyone on their BS when needed: it shows you see them as equals!
