I’ve been thinking about this a lot. And I think I’ve figured out what bothered me so much about @JonathanLeeman interaction with @kkdumez & @bethallisonbarr. It’s that it felt familiar. It seemed polite and engaging. And I appreciate that he actually talked TO them. But. +
A few times he essentially told them- here’s what you think, believe, intend, etc. Sometimes in direct contradiction to what they said. And it reminded me of a day I met a pastor (a stranger), who would ask me questions then interrupt to tell me what I tonight/believed/wanted. +
That pastor ended up doing great spiritual, relational and emotional harm to me. And honestly. It just felt icky to read a complete stranger telling brilliant women their own hearts and minds, while also wanting the benefit of the doubt that THEY misunderstood him. +
So I guess the point is, it’s good to talk TO people. With them.
But maybe there’s not so much difference between that kind of talk and just talking at/about them. And it’s harmful women to act (even unintentionally) as though they cannot know their own beliefs or convictions. +

I’m not mad about. Just. Ugh.
But I’ve been having a lot of convos with brothers asking why they didn’t see things before (MD, PP etc) and tbh, I think sometimes it’s not really listening bc some of us have been saying it a long time.
So. I’m hoping someone will listen and hear.
