When calling someone out, it’s best not to be condescending yourself in your opening. You didn’t elevate the discussion with that, you invited them to a slap fight.
And like the other person said so well, there is sincere reason for the question. But you clearly don’t want to engage honestly and instead be dismissive yourself.
The problem is that, by now, asking that question cannot be viewed as sincere, it is the constant tool used by misogynists to take away any conversation about women’s rights/issues.
Is there a time and a place for that question? Yes.
Was this post that time and place? No.
