Part of me agrees. But I feel like the point of the article is to say people should care. That nihilism sometimes triggers my depression.

I think back to who I was a decade ago, and I've grown as a person because people cared and told me I should care and explained why my views needed to improve. It takes a lot, and maybe a lot of people in the US won't give a shit about women and how to believe them, but maybe it changes a few people. Maybe they read Daniel's account and are horrified.

All I can do is hope. Or I'll be more depressed.
