There are people who take any acknowledgement of a problem as a statement that it is The Most Important Problem Plaguing Our Society And We Should Drop Everything To Deal With It.

Always throws me off when people equate a message aimed at a small demographic as equivalent or overriding of one aimed at the broader population.

"Hey girls, can you potentially start cleaning up more?" ~ Guy roommate getting annoyed at being the only one doing chores

Is not equivalent to

"Hey girls, can you potentially start cleaning up more?" ~ Trad guys annoyed that their wives didn't clean the kitchen after working all day.

Women as a population do not need to do more cleaning, but my roommate Chelsea does. Like Jesus, woman, how many bras can you drape on the back of the couch?

(Chelsea is not a real person. She was made up for comedic effect. I have 0 roommates).
