The Male Experience Trump Card is often used as a method to silence women. It becomes a point that because a guy hasn't experienced what has been brought forward it doesn't exist. It can be used by trolls and concern trolls alike.
= How Trolls Use It
Trolls tend to be more aggressive in their use of the Male Experience Trump Card. They will simply dismiss the incident as a one time thing or something that is simply not true, denying that it ever happened.
Examples
- Denying a feminist complaint during the Mark Shuttleworth at Linuxcon incident.
= How Concern Trolls Use It
Concern Trolls tend to use it in a more passive, but just as dismissive, manner. It becomes a "I don't do this, but" or the "I understand X, but" type of comment.
Examples
- I understand but comment made by a blogger commenting on the Mark Shuttleworth at Linuxcon incident.
