No you're wrong, poster I replied to explicitly asserted that "men really don't understand" it. And I that doesn't miss the point, you claim it does but you aren't actually addressing any of what I wrote.

Most men don't understand what women have to go through in everyday interactions and most women don't understand the same for men. And I think your analytical reaction to an emotional problem proves my point I feel.

Probably true. This is entirely different from the previous assertion you made though.

It doesn't, and you have not addressed anything I said which might make your point.
You're missing the point, and that's because you changed the goalposts from "men really don't understand" to "can't possibly understand"; a difference that in this context is significant.
The OP was saying that men generally don't have the awareness of how women have it in the online world. The lack of understanding is because of not knowing about it, not because of a lack of capacity or empathy.
In fact the post suggest that doing an experiment to get such awareness would help in getting the understanding.
No no, read the full conversation. The context was about women being safe posting on internet forums, and the post I replied to did say exactly this, "we really don't understand the world women live in online".
