hi, so i recently discovered im more left wing (democratic) than right wing (republican), but im still not the most politically correct. earlier today we were discussing abortion and i said i felt bad for the women who the anti abortion people affect, but my friend corrected me and said i meant "people who get pregnant", because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant. and not all women get pregnant so it doesnt affect them. she said it gently but i feel like an ass</3

First off, this is not Reddit, so stop trying to turn it into one with these kinds of posts.

Secondly, I reported your post for violating Rule 3 which seems to be the norm I guess. Because you're looking for support.

Next time know where you are and read the rules.

That is not what rule 3 means, and you are being hostile for no reason.

If you're looking for support, that's breaking Rule 3.

And no, it's not for "no reason"

This is not Reddit. This is not AITA which Reddit used to be plagued by and people over there treated every subreddit as. This question offers nothing open-ended. This user is just looking for validation and therefore breaks Rule 3.

Cry me a river. Rules exist for a reason. Learn to read or shove off.
