So many men "in the game" are literally like this. Especially behind their interests' backs, talking shit with other guys. I witnessed way worse from my small former social circle, and even back then I felt kinda ashamed of my sex.
We are the lesser gender. Everyday proves it. Girls get barbie, boys get adolescence. And it's like that for a reason.
Don't extrapolate your social circle onto the entire population. If someone else's social circle contains no one like this, are they then justified in saying it's overblown and extremely rare? Somehow I doubt you'd think so.
This is no different from someone rationalizing/justifying a mistrust of black people based on the face that they were mugged once, and the mugger was black.
They weren't, if you understand English. They didn't even say most. Just: there are an amount that can, from some vague perspective, be considered a lot.
You chose to misconstrue what they said because that fits the agenda you're pushing all over this thread. You're guy #3, aren't you? You certainly seem offended enough to be.
That was a bit of hyperbole... I didn't mean a majority of men. Like a few particular jerks in a class, basically.
But they were so prolific that their 'body count' was pretty high. Hence I think it's fair to extrapolate a sample as a justification of this meme, as even 'a few' bad eggs can have enough of a disproportionate effect to justify the stereotype.
...are we still talking about incels, here? Because 'incel with a high 'body count'' is kind of like saying 'triangle with four sides', lol.
EDIT: Hm, maybe I mixed up what comment chain I was in, oh well.
Between the comic and even this thread, you’re the first person to mention incels. This isn’t a gotcha and even if it was, it’d be a pointless observation.
You really try hard to not understand, huh
