Feminists seem to be constantly complaining about harmless comments or silly things like the "male gaze" or "man-splaining". We need to stop pretending that women are all oversensitive children. Of course there are genuine sexist comments that are made, but when you complain about things that are completely harmless, it undermines every woman who actually faces sexist discrimination. Here are 5 reasons why feminists and SJWs need to stop complaining about harmless comments.
1. It perpetuates the stereotype that women are overly-sensitive

We don't cry because you made an offensive comment. Stop making it out like we do, you're only making it harder for us.
2. Often times the comments aren't even sexist!

Half of the things they complain about aren't even sexist! Saying that someone is "mansplaining" is absurd; men are condescending or dismissive to one another all the time.
3. It's insulting - Women aren't delicate flowers
We can take care of ourselves, we don't need protection from "mean words". It's especially annoying when male-feminists try and speak for us and "protect" us from people saying mean things. We are just fine on our own, thank you very much.
4. It undermines every woman who actually faces sexist discrimination

A lot of women face people making horrible, sexist comments from time to time and when you complain about the time your coworker talked over you and call it "sexism", it undermines and diminishes claims from women who are actually discriminated against.
5. It's stupid!!
Why are you complaining about the time your boss talked over you? Why do you assume that it's because you're a woman? Have you honestly never seen the same thing happen to men? A guy asked you out at work and this is somehow sexism? What is wrong with you people?
Most of the complaints are completely absurd and certainly aren't gender specific... When you complain about such menial things, you make it considerably harder for women to be taken seriously in the workplace - so just stop!
