I’d like to refer you to the half a dozen other men who needlessly called me out for not being sympathetic to single men’s plight and my responses to them. Centering women’s experiences doesn’t mean we don’t care about men’s. I didn’t mention single mothers or differently-abled folks who are single or widows/widowers or the single elderly — do you think I don’t believe they matter, too?

There is nothing I wrote here that was divisive or hateful. It’s okay for women to talk about women’s experiences and not have to center men in every conversation. I assure you that doesn’t mean that we don’t care about men — we do. And I’m sorry for whatever experiences you have had that allowed you to relate to this story.
