Predictably, the male commenters are outraged and the female ones are appreciative. Thank you for speaking to all of this anyhow. Patriarchy teaches men that it's a dog-eat-dog world and you must achieve your place in the pecking order by being aggressive and bullying, which hurts women, but also men and society as a whole. Making an effort to be more collaborative and considerate as you have done can only be a good step in the right direction and a good move towards challenging this toxic dominance based hierarchy system that is the root of all social ills.
