I meant if a woman asked this same woman the exact same question, would it be ok? Or is it a problem ONLY because a man asked the question to a woman? I've had men and women both ask me patronzing gatekeeping questions, jackasses are not limited to one sex.
How does that change the equation?
Let's try this: what do you think I would say.
I wasn't replying to you to challenge your answer, I was just clarifying my original question. I would like to think you would say it would be an issue regardless of the gender of who asked. My original question is scrutinizing the original post's intention as there are two issues present in the situation presented and at least on the surface they seem to take more of an issue because it was a man who asked. So If a woman asked that same woman the same question would she still respond with "Name 5 woman who trust you?" Just because a man is gatekeeping doesn't mean he's doing it only becausae she is a woman, he could just be a jackass who is gatekeeping and assuming he's doing it only because they are a woman is reverse sexism.
It's a little upsetting isn't it? If it was about ending sexism it would be witchesVSsexism. Unfortunately it's VSpatriarchy and some people view that as VSmen, not VS"a system of social structures and norms that prioritize men and male perspectives". I'd rather fight sexism as a whole than fuel manosphere content with tit for that clap backs but what do I know?
