In principle I agree, but the problem is that there's a pattern of trying to marginalize women talking about the issue.

Making sure I don't come across as trying to marginalize their discussion sure doesn't make me feel like my issue is being marginalized; it's the opposite, I'm making sure I'm treating them the same way I'd want to be treated.

If I'm at a social gathering and someone is talking about when they lost their parents, me trying to enforce my idea on how they want to share their experience doesn't feel like the right kind of response.

EDIT: If there was a way to ensure that my contribution could be differentiated from those trying to diminish women's voice then great, I just don't know if there is.
