Anonymous asked: Okay, I apologise for losing my temper before. I just want to know; do you think that all men are pigs? I believe in equal rights for all human beings including women, but I think it's sexist in itself to call someone a pig just because they were born a man.

When you say you lost your temper before, which message is the one you sent? I mean, are you the anon who was asking about the friendzone, or the one who called me a castrating whore? Bear in mind, I have literally no way of telling.

So: no, I do not think all men are pigs. I’m happily married to an amazing man, and I have an awesome selection of male friends and relatives whom I love and respect. I believe in equal rights. But see, if I ever do call someone a pig - and I have to say, it’s not a term I use often, if ever; I only used it before because you did - it’s not “just because they were born a man”, it’s because they’re a person of any gender who happens to be sending me gross abuse. See the difference?
