I'm glad to hear that you've come to realize your opinions were harmful and dismissive and that you were open to changing that. Even taking dating aside since that has been covered, stuttering can be horrible to live with on so many levels. You lose the ability to even communicate your thoughts smoothly. The way you are able to present yourself to the world has pieces carved out of it that you can't do anything about. you're just left to cope with it and find a way to be okay with the limitations it places on you. So many men seem to not even think women are human enough to be impacted by that on the same level that men are. It sucks. I do want to be clear that this isn't *all* men, so no one needs to 'not all men' at me. But enough of them are, and this subreddit is often dictated by those sorts of opinions and I never see pushback on it from the men here.
