  • You’re once again taking my words, which have always been about this online discussion and the words being used in it and using it to paint an inaccurate portrait that I do not care about women’s trauma irl. Patently untrue. I care about how people jump at every opportunity to disparage the other sex online through offensive generalisations, then hide it behind a veneer of thin justifications, such as “you wouldn’t feel hurt if you weren’t the target”, or “see? you’re proving our point that all men are evil and suck”, or whatever the argument of the day is.

    That’s my problem. It’s a bandwagon effect that won’t stop because the group being the target of the accusations online is immediately targeted when they defend themselves. See a familiar pattern? This is why it needs to stop. You claim to want empathy from both sides, well, it starts with stopping the us vs. them nonsense and aggressive generalising about all men.

    There’s a little thing called self-reinforcing positive attitudes, but without breaking the cycle you feed the opposite behaviour.


  • It’s easy, any person claiming to know more about the entirety of the population of any group, no matter if it’s men, women, or cardboard boxes, is wrong. This is what you’re doing. It pisses me off that you think biological differences define people for who they are, which is essentially what you’re doing by lumping “men” into the “rapists” category, just because you claim it’s too much effort to differentiate.


  • Yes, but you’re talking about IRL situations. Why can’t you differentiate online? It’s so easy to say that you need to be careful because of rapists. Instead you spread a message of being careful around all men. It’s disingenuous, and it leads to ostracization and a loneliness epidemic like the one that’s currently and actively fuelling the movements you despise.



  • even if they are not correct for every single person in the generalised group

    That’s your problem, you’re willing to lump everyone together. I can also go around looking at every minutia and flaw I can find from different people and lumping them all together under the “Women” umbrella, but I don’t because I’m not fucking stupid. Tell me again the percentage of the male population that does each and every single different thing you claim all men do? That’s right, it’s a fraction of a percentage. Most men are good. And yet “all men” enter your generalisation.


  • There is no “being careful with phrasing”. You and your cohort essentially start every sentence with “Men…” this or “Men…” that. It doesn’t matter what point you think you’re trying to make. You automatically invalidate it by arguing about all men and disregarding individuality. That’s misandry. Get it in your head.







  • It’s funny that you both place quotation marks around men, showing you don’t believe they are, and yet pretend that you think the fault is in how they’re being raised.

    It’s like the dichotomy escapes you. Are they real men raised poorly? Or are they fake men and therefore they’re not the subject of this discussion at all?

    I don’t expect you to have any reasonable response though because clearly the misandrist brain rot hit you pretty hard. My condolences. Maybe you should isolate though.
