So there may be a big disconnect between the writer of the linked piece and my chosen social circles and thus different views of how the world works, I dunno.
Actually, I was referring to the sum total, in my life to date, of all those conversations. The "social circles" included co-workers in many different jobs, other students in classes I was taking, other participants in activities I was doing, other people in the jury, etc. Hardly people I hand-picked!
I'm disturbed by how quickly you jumped from a post about how I am bothered by the victim-blaming attitudes I hear so frequently, to blaming me for hearing those attitudes.
