Reply #126: Yes it can be bridged. [View All]

If you had posted something like this first, showing that you understand the scope of the problem, instead of posting what you did, asking that the focus be changed instead to men who presumably don't do anything to harass women, then you wouldn't have received most of the responses you got.

But instead of making that effort to bridge that gap, you tried to change the subject in a way that belittled the subject. That, of course, is going to get a whole lot of feedback.

Bridging any gap is possible. Understanding the scope of any problem and contributing to any discussion of it is possible. But the first step is to stop being defensive about it, stop taking it personally, and TRY to bridge the gap. You didn't, until much later posts like this one. :(
