Story time + FIRST POST!
So basically, last year I was arguing with one of my friends about the topic of feminism. Now, I don't want this to be the 9 millionth topic on the website about that, so I'll leave out the details of the argument.
Suffice to say, I didn't agree with a lot about feminism at the time, and I said some things that people took as offensive towards women. Since then I've changed my mind about a lot of things and looking back I should have been a bit more tempered and done some more research.
Any who, three of my friends and my then girlfriend had overheard me arguing and heard a few things I said and got incredibly offended by them. They didn't even ask me to clarify my statements or explain anything, I was simply deemed a misogynist for having the opinion that feminism isn't the best solution to the issue (and even since then I've become more accepting of it).
I talked to them about it later and things seemed to cool off but one girl who I was really good friends with absolutely hates me now even though she acted like she was on my side. Is there anything I can do to fix this at all?
This is a few months old but how do I prove that I didn't mean those things and that my viewpoint's changed?
