When women talk about the problems they face, it's not helpful for you to go "That doesn't happen".

Your bias is showing, that's not a helpful response when anyone talks about their problems. Not just women.

Talking more seriously (but not that much more), I have some appreciation for being this brazen in the whole "I live in the real world and know women aren't shown disrespect out of nowhere by men they don't know, unlike you women with your lived experiences" shtick.

All lives matter moment.

This conversation is literally about women and their experience. If we were talking about someone being deported to a foreign prison and how they deserve due process, someone coming in with "everyone deserves due process" is not helpful nor offering any useful insight.

"These are good potatoes" does not mean I hate everything else on my plate.

I was making fun of the guy who was arguing with her. That's why at the start of the very next sentence I said I was not being serious in the part you quoted, and then right after saying that I called out that exact behavior.

I get that sarcasm isn't always easy to detect online so I wrote a second short paragraph to explicitly clarify that the first was sarcasm. Sorry for being annoyed but I feel kind of frustrated that still wasn't clear enough to avoid getting condescended to.
