I really like this line of logic because it highlights how the insipid manosphere’s propaganda directly targets the most animalistic part of the brain - the amygdala - and uses fear and anger to propel antisocial behaviour much as a cornered animal lashes out against its captor. It’s a very apt metaphor beyond the simplistic reasoning it suggests.
Translation: "I can't refute your core argument so I'll attack the way it was delivered."
Returning to the idea of rehabilitating these men, I leave you with a quote:
"You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."
Sorry, what? I was agreeing with you. I’m not the other poster you were arguing with.
