    doing the right thing isn’t gendered. I assume you mean “or will you take responsibility and act like an adult”, but the way you phrased it leaves too much room to be interpreted as “don’t be like a woman who can’t take responsibility for their actions”

    even if you didn’t mean it that way, this is how sexism perpetuates.
