Given physiological changes that occur across menstrual cycle, the changes to the brain are either small enough that they don't influence performance or women compensate for these changes.

I'm curious what other races of men you feel are empathic towards womens problems. Muslims?, Indians?, Asians?, black rappers maybe.

Ok regardless of whether or not they were being racist, now you’re just trying to fight casual racism with more casual racism, not sure that’s the best approach.

I don't think it's casual racism to point out that many other cultures have issues with misogyny in response to someone blaming it on white people.

Would you have called it "casual racism" if they'd written black instead or white.
