For the record I support multi gender spaces but I am apparently in the minority of people who thinks bears are scary

    Your use of the phrase “gender warfare” is also meant to spark gender warfare. That article was extremely hyperbolic, your response is also hyperbolic (though less so).

    Also, it certainly wasn’t intended to spark gender warfare… it was just an extremely poor expression of, what I imagine, is genuine concern.

      If that wasn’t its intention the question would be worded differently

        A lot of people are shit communicators, not every journalist is good at their job - news at eleven.

          The question wasn’t originally posed by a journalist it was from a famous tiktok account

            Oh, I wasn’t even aware of that… I feel like we can double down on the “people are shit comminicators” point then.

              The tiktoker is a good communicator. He knew this question would explode and in my opinion he shouldn’t have asked it

                The tiktoker is effective at getting views and stirring controversy, but from the follow up tweet they expected to start a reasoned discussion with their article. The article itself is an interesting nuanced discussion but the title is pure fucking flamebait.
