This reminds me of a tweet thread I read today where it seemed the guy was unnecessarily lambasted for raising a question to a feminist:

Kelly Ellis:
"But, y'know, thanks for being the dude chiming in with unnecessary remarks intended to undermine both my point, and the plaintiff's lawsuit, while we discuss the topic of gender-based discrimination and harassment.
Super helpful and appreciated."
akay:
"not at all what I was trying to do, sorry if it came across that way. I just don't see how confirming the existence of nerf guns within that team helps the discussion in any way.
unnecessarily harsh, this tweet."
So sometimes we men just remain silent.
