Witches VS Patriarchy

Condescension and gatekeeping is never okay. If a woman did this to a man, I would defend the man. So it's not a double standard.

It's just that women frequently deal with this when they partake in male-centric hobbies. When this happens, there's often some element of misogyny at play. So it's okay for us to point out that specific situation and say it's frustrating, and doing so doesn't mean we're saying this has never happened to men, nor that it's morally virtuous for women in subcultures to condescend to men.

Also, this culture war thing is so exhausting. Everyone reads between lines and assumes the worst in everyone.
