you would know, basement boy.
men in general, no matter where they end up on the pol spectrum, are socialized to participate in whatever they want, be who they want to be, take what they want. talk about anything whether they're experts on the subject or not. the worst feeling in the world is having to attend a work-related meeting in a workplace that is majority male. all of them have to say their little piece, even if it's same as Dickhead 1,2,3, and 4 who spoke before them. a close second is political meetings with men who do the same thing. spergies here can argue that it's people who do this but it's not, it's men who are so sure they everyone wants to hear what they have to say.
the idea that some men are walking around on eggshells about gender topics flies in the face of most any political activity, esp leftist activity on the ground. almost every fucking group i know has about 5 men for every 1 woman. women are lucky if they get to talk about anything except repro rights and even then bros can't shut the fuck up. then, you have the occasional topics that women want to talk about exclusively but even so the familiar male entitlement to any and every thing rears it's head. i'm so sure LS is being silenced by the all powerful female political leadership wherever he is. i guess since it's most likely that men in general, wherever he is, don't give one flying fuck about "gender issues" he feels left out as one of the only men in attendance and even so, can't stand to listen any longer. i'll have to keep angrily speculating until he returns.
