Extremism is human nature. It happens no matter what you do. Women were and ,in some ways, still are oppressed by the decisions of men in power and thus an extreme response is to mirror that same sentiment towards men. It happens in literally every opposing group ever. You will always have extremism. Best way to fight it is to drown it out with rational thinking, examples, and actions toward change both inside and outside the group in question.

Even when boys are assaulted, the vast majority of abusers are male.

“Why does this group of people who are and always have been exploited by this other group of people say they don’t like the exploitative group? I don’t get it!” Read a book, Chad. It’s not hard to see why if you know literally anything about the history of gender inequality. And for the love of all that is good and honest, stop hiding behind the argument that women are also abusers. While that is technically true, the rate at which it happens is still comically low compared to abusive men.

I agree but how can I drown the sexism out if every time I try I am bombarded hatred for speaking against hatred. It seems like this sexism is drowning out rational thinking atp or at least online

if you post on this app “I hate men” it’ll get tons of upvotes. If you post “I hate women” it’ll get downvoted to hell. Both are basically the same thing.

I can assure you that, without even realizing it, you know that rationality is a rare occurrence online. People are emboldened by the anonymity. Take a step back and talk to the women you know in real life. Talk to the women they know. If you find that the extremism exists in your circle of real people that look you in the eyes, that is a much better place to start.

For the car thing, I’d second what #4 said. Do women in your life, whom you have interacted with, agree when you ask them if people should run men over with their cars just for being men? TikTok brain rot nonsense is troubling, but it’s the lowest common denominator and is available in every ideological flavor.

“I hate men” and “I hate women” - both of those are bad outlooks, but they are not the same thing. Women who say “I hate men” may be reacting to serious trauma or may be immature - but broadly, that sentiment represents an awareness that interacting with men has a higher risk of rape and death. Men who say “I hate women” may have had a bad experience - but broadly speaking, that sentiment represents an awareness that women may have upsetting opinions, or won’t have love or sex with them.

They are the exact same thing. How can you not award the man the same “trauma” for saying it about women if it’s that situational. It’s the same thing.

This is like the tea app thing. Where women needed a safe space to tell other women that they had been abused or cheated on and to be wearing dangerous men. Men got mad and made their own app where they only posted pics of women to degrade and sexualize them. You argue women having sentiment about men is the same as amen having sentiment about women when it really sings. Because stats show men are more violent. Women become verbally abrasive after being literally abused.

Men can indeed have trauma, and sometimes it’s sexual or family violence by a woman. However, I stand by my generalization (you seem to have missed the “speaking broadly” part) about the *most common* motives for why women say “I hate men” vs men saying “I hate women”

Somewhat related example… I used to work on a hotline for domestic violence and sexual assault, taking calls from anyone who called in (it was open to any gender). The overwhelming majority of callers were women, and there were also a handful of male callers who called us due to experiencing DV/SA. Strangely, though, I received as many calls from men who were using the crisis line as a free sex chat hotline (for incest fantasies) as I did from men who called on the basis of experiencing DV/SA.
