There are few men (5 if my counting is correct) that I admire on this platform and you are one of them. So your opinion does matter to me.
When I put out a post, I don’t just want my readers to agree with me. I also look forward to constructive criticism.
I like that you express your opinion whenever you can and you are entitled to them. What I don’t accept is gender based criticism.
For the longest time, women have always played second fiddle to men. Men think they know what’s best for women. So when a woman expresses her opinion whether the facts are correct or not, her opinion is disregarded. Like the YouTube example.
Different studies have shown that masturbate affects male sexual performance. Problems like dhat syndrome and low sperm count arise from frequent masturbation. And you have the refractory period all men go through after ejaculation that may result in lack of sexual desire until they recover.

You see the female doctor was indeed right but those men disregarded her opinion based on her gender not the facts she said. Which is how I felt when you linked my opinion to my gender. It's as if you were saying my perception is gender based and as such it should be disregarded.
The same scenario applies to mothers having more right over a child than fathers. Are you saying is right because the law allows it? I have seen men defend abortion law more than women. Yes, more women are defending abortion law than men, yet abortion and pregnancy affects both genders.
Of course, there’s no way two people will have the same opinion about a topic and you can’t assume that women know more about women than men anymore than men knowing more about men than women. Most of the things I know about women and sex, I learnt from men. And there are some about men I learned from women.
I’m sorry you got offended. That wasn’t my intention at all. But if you are going to agree or disagree with people’s opinion do so without prejudice.
