I've hidden your reply because it's strange and out of place.

I happened to share Tessa's story (a woman) and my story (also a woman). I'm not "focusing on women". I AM a woman.

It's strange to me that you're arguing about whether or not folks have family or not. No one should be discriminated against or harassed, and no one should be oppressed into silence over those things (or other ethics violations).

I'm happy to have a conversation about Non-Disparagement agreements, but that's not what you are doing.

Sure, I pointed out some portion of your unfairness in text and best repsponse is cancel culture. You feel "offended" because there's a slight disagreement from somene yet again mark it as "out of place". It's good to know there's no room for disagreement so I'll be sure to not ever comment on your posts.

My post is about Non-Disparagement Agreements being used to silence employees that have been discriminated against, or have witnessed unethical practices.

I don't feel "offended" - I feel your comment is out of place because it steered away from the topic to centering yourself in a way that claimed I was doing something that I was not.

It isn't about disagreement, it's about responding with complete nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with the important topic I'm discussing.

And my comment was that you don't see that it's actually putting a point on a discrimination against woman. Not about centering myself but to try to make you see that there's a lot of text focusing on it and steering itself away from the topic. In any case you have the right to hide the comment and I have the right to mark the post as low quality as a bit pusing towards something that you did not intend as a topic. Not fully just enough to have my reaction to it.

Haris, I am a woman. Tessa is a woman.

We were both discriminated against as MOTHERS, which is why I specifically said PARENTS.

Your knee-jerk reaction comes from within you, not me. I communicated my point just fine.
