: Predictably, I received a LOT of angry DMs from people who felt incredibly seen and personally attacked by my comments, and all of them used the rationale that it was someone else's systemic oppression over the centuries or millennia that "forces people" (read: them) to do it. Then there's also the classic stitch that "those other people are way worse about it than [them]". -- Behavior is a choice. It may initially be a reflex, but if continued, soon enough it's a choice.

A #hottake, I guess.
