      It is. And no, I’m not one of the good ones.

      Women are tired of ‘man guilt’ the same way PoC are tired of white guilt. At best, it’s self-depracating. At worse, it’s performative. Women want empathy and to be heard, not to hear an empty gesture that then gets weaponized by anti-feminists.

        In Vietnamese there’s no phrase for “thank you.”* It’s more important to have a thankful attitude. I think we could take a lesson on the situation you’re talking about there.

        * They use the literal words “thank you”, or it’s equivalent, for visitors, but that’s different.
