We all need validation

That's all we really need but that doesn't give anyone the right to entitlement or misogyny. Nothing hurts more than invalidation but how much less will people care about you if you act hostile and if you yourself invalidate others. I see a lot of women who say one thing and then get swarmed by men trying to downplay them or a guy who's 5'11 clearly going through body dysmorphia and instead of encouragement there's mockery. Don't complain and don't whine when someone does the same thing to you when you express your own valid concerns. The thing I hate about this sub even as a short guy is whenever someone makes a valid complaint agaisnt all the vitriol, it never goes anywhere. There's a lot of wisdom to be learned if instead of hostility we could just listen for one second. Even this message will go nowhere at all and the sub will fall back to where it has always been and then short men like me will not be taken as seriously because of the sins of the group
