This reminds me of a tweet thread I read today where it seemed the guy was unnecessarily lambasted for raising a question to a feminist:

Kelly Ellis:

"But, y'know, thanks for being the dude chiming in with unnecessary remarks intended to undermine both my point, and the plaintiff's lawsuit, while we discuss the topic of gender-based discrimination and harassment.

Super helpful and appreciated."

akay:

"not at all what I was trying to do, sorry if it came across that way. I just don't see how confirming the existence of nerf guns within that team helps the discussion in any way.

unnecessarily harsh, this tweet."

So sometimes we men just remain silent.

It's unfortunate that often the loudest advocates for a cause are not its best advocates, and this leads to backlash. Sometimes people who take on roles that require extreme confidence forget they are fallible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-licensing
