It can be hard for many of us to empathize with someone so upset they are shaking, because of some repeated pronouns.

But imagine after a lifetime of exposure to this, some folks can get sensitized. If it's not something you notice, possibly because you're a man, it simple to mock and dismiss her response.

It you feel every joke about stupid incompetent fragile women like a slap in the face, the experience is quite different. At some point you just have enough.

Suggesting some moderation in hasty dismissive comments, and more empathy.
