The shunning oilers fans receive on a flames message board and the shunning and silencing of sexual harassment victims because they're not the right gender is a disgusting comparison to make. That's my personal opinion.

This is a straw man, I never claimed that talking about men's issues diminishes women's issues. It's the when and how and intent. If I jump into an already running conversation saying "pay attention to my issues" people won't pay attention to me and may think I'm trying to hijack the conversation. Instead I wait until a natural place to join the conversation where my experiences contribute rather than distract.

You absolutely did. How and when should not matter when a victim comes forward no matter their gender. And intent of a victim coming forward...Really? What exactly is the intent of a victim sharing their story? to be told to shut up?
Like I said it's disgusting that men sharing their stories of harassment are being told they are in the wrong for doing so.
Comparing my argument that shaming men into silence about being victims because it's not the right time is wrong to the All lives matter argument is the straw man in this thread.
