do you always just make up completely different meanings for the things you read? or only when it's something about men being sensitive and trying to pretend not to be?

it's a common thing for people to get offended by a comment and then try to attack some point that was never stated in the comment. so common that even saying "strawman" anymore is almost a cliche
as a man, i can tell you it is possible to re-examine those things that cause you to get upset--and when you take the time to do it, you'll realize that 99% of the things men get butthurt about a) don't matter in the slightest; and b) aren't going to be changed by anyone's huffing and puffing about it, but will more likely just get worse
