Agree and disagree. Expression of anger or frustration towards a group of people who have been targeting and abusing you and people know for your entire life isn’t trying to be progressive or make men learn or change their actions, it’s just letting out pain. However if you are actively trying to change something with your statements then yes of course saying things like I hate men isn’t helpful.
If you are actively seeking out men or groups of them to target them and take out your anger on them, that’s not okay (unless they are your or other people’s abusers because that’s deserved). But just random retaliation against men you’ve never met or genuine blind hatred of anyone is never a good thing. Venting-> okay ✅ explaining bad actions or how to change them -> okay ✅ abusing and harassing all men regardless of their actual actions -> not okay ❌
I feel like sometimes people think the oppressed group always has to take the high road and always be outstanding and handhold people in the oppressive power to show them how to treat others like humans, but that’s not right. Not everything people do has to be towards a movement or trying to explain or handhold, it’s okay to just be angry and upset and say that.
Women have actually been treated similarly to children pretty much forever - i.e. they’ve been favored, coddled, and protected. Women haven’t been hated for existing in general, men just continued to repress women when some didn’t want it anymore. Men’s hatred yields much worse results than their repressiveness. Life used to be much worse and men shone in such conditions, but our newfound safety and comfort has blurred the roles of men and women such that neither sex is able to be satisfied.
Why would a woman hate a man for existing when he’s risking his life to hunt or farm, all to provide for her. Even in third-world countries where crimes against women are much more rampant, women aren’t so vocal against men. Even if you gave the women all platforms and taught them that they’ve really been mistreated all this time, it still wouldn’t happen for very long.
This isn’t just because men hold all the power, it’s more because men are the safeguard from the real life consequences of simply living. Nature cares nothing for the troubles of any living thing. I imagine it takes a lot of reaching within to respect a man who works at a bank or something. It’s easy to dissociate that sort of job from any realistic consequences. That sort of job serves only to maintain social structure. A firefighter on the other hand, whew, he’s fighti a primal fear of ours.
You say full grown ahh women being treated like children is a good thing… like worst comparison you could have ever made. And women for centuries have been treated like property instead of a full person like men have and ONLY in the past 70 years have women FINALLY got treated equally with equal pay and the right to vote, the right to own property WITHOUT a man. Women couldn’t do anything without a man’s permission or his name on the paper. So please keep living in your delusional state
Women, like children, are precious to society. Men have always been worth less than women, it’s not even unique to humans. Men have the awesome societal advantage of having the most glamorous minority of positions while also having the least glamorous majority of positions. I never saw anyone campaign for the right to scoop sewage or take on the armed robber in a mugging.
Listening to you, one would think every man before the 20th century was living large. Most men in the US gained voting rights in the late 19th century. I personally think votes are wasted on most people. It’s so easy to radicalize a person based on their temperament, it’s ridiculous. Manufacture a sob story and you’re free to infuse as many fallacies as you want. Then you have empty barrels “thinking” they’re entitled to anything other than what’s bestowed upon them by a working society.
