You don't know how it feels because you're sinking in your own privilege.
Just like so many white people do when people talk about racism or rich people do when people talk about poverty.
You like to brag about being more enlightened and respectful than most sexist men, but the knee jerk reaction is exactly the same.
You cannot help the women in your life that way.
I know you like to think you're not sexist and disrespectful towards women, but that's what you're being right now.
It's disappointing and really sad.
I'm not going to waste my time with people who clearly don't care. Unfortunately, it's nothing new, it's just cliche. Hopefully you'll come around one day but I'm not in the mood to be disrespected and patronized right now.

Please, you're not trying to have a discussion.
