>(eg being a woman)

It is amazingly courageous how you manage to go through life with such an inescapable handicap. It must be so hard for you, having to contend with the possibility of encountering strangers and having to deal with them by yourself in a public space. What has the world come to, when such cruelty is not opposed? Something must be done! Now where are all those useless, good-for-nothing men?

Dealing with strangers in a public space is often a problem women have to endure.

Both my sisters have told me about borderline harassment and/or inappropriate attention they received while going about their daily lives.

No, it's only a problem when it happens to women. When it happens to men, it's called "life", "man up" and "stop being such a pussy".

I think I can say with 100% certainty that either you are in a very bad place right now, in which case you have my sympathy, or you are an utterly titanic asshole, in which case you don't.

When you have no valid point to make, attack the messenger. Don't project how you feel about my opinion onto me, I'm happy and optimistic that this whole oppression charade is finally coming crashing down.
