    it was my experience too.

    as a working class guy who got into an ivy league school… my entire life i was told how i ‘didn’t deserve’ it, and how i ‘stole it’ from someone more deserving. everyone in my life talked me down and down and down, and now i’m middle aged and now all i hear is that i’m both a rich asshole, and a poor piece of shit and that i need to give all my money to women, or i need to earn more money to give more money to women.

    the only people who ever supported me in my life in a positive way… were working class men who also put themselves through college. everyone else endless shit on me no matter how much i achieved or how hard i worked.

      Who on Earth would tell you to give money to women specifically? Sounds like a strawman if I ever heard one.

      They might ask you to give your money to the poor, because they need it way more than you. But never something gender specific.
