The problem with your comment is that the author is trying to bring attention to an issue and you're trying to navigate away from that conversation. It's not that women on Medium aren't willing to hear different perspectives, it's that you haven't even taken the time to understand the issue being addressed.

You've now very effectively steered the author away from her point to talk about yours. This is one of the major complaints women have of men in relationships as well.

When I would address issues with my ex, I would explain why I was upset. He would then turn it around to explain why he was MORE upset about something I did. But he wouldn't bring it up before I was attempting to address my issue.

So effectively my issues were never addressed. You've done the exact same thing here. She's addressing an issue she sees as a problem and you're giving the "what about" response which shuts down her original issue to focus on yours.

If you feel there is a female equivalent, by all means, write an article about it, but stop hijacking someone else's story to discount their experience.

And please spread the word because we are so very tired of it.
