Hello,

I was recently invited to a class reunion. When I was in school I had no understanding of how bad the patriarchy truly was. Now I am thinking about visiting but I have a lot of confused feelings about interacting with the people there. It isn't that any guy outwardly is misogynistic or that women are defending them or not defending them in public. But I have had lots of conversations with lots of people in work and dating environments to know just how bad the situation is in many women's private lives and I am afraid to go to the reunion, but also I need to network as I am feeling very mentally stuck in my current job and this is a really good opportunity. Has anybody radicalized and gone back to these kinds of events with any advice?

Thank you in advance.
