Original Reddit post

I have a lot of Feminist ideas myself, but I want to genuinely try to understand and feel compassionate for the people who have joined these communities and gone against my beliefs. I’m sick of the gender divide, the defensiveness… it’s all rooted from a place of pain. If you were to honestly voice yourself, and not in a defensive way, maybe it’ll help soften the edges and get us to understand each other better. So tell me, why did you choose your belief system? What is your story? And was it rooted from some kind of isolation, yearning or pain? submitted by /u/phayanaka
