Why are you continuing to get mad at another strawman?
Having realistic fears around dealing with men does not mean I hate them.
What are you even trying to cope about? Do you identify with the subgroup of men who are dangerous or are you just upset that women aren't mindreaders so they are cautious around men, and taking it out on women and not the dangerous men who have created the climate of fear and uncertainty?
Oh buddy. Gay men can be real shitheads to women(I've literally been assaulted by a gay man as an incredibly shitty joke, also see: "I can't be misogynistic, I'm gay!"), and also we can't tell if someone is gay or bi.
You're equating people being cautious around you to a punishment.
Also the permissive attitude of the majority of men is what allows a minority to abuse women.
The bear argument is about a random man lol. Why do you think it is about you personally?
Being cautious around someone is not the same as ostracizing someone.
It straight up isn't about you specifically though, except you're the type to freak out about it so maybe it is about you. I certainly wouldn't be willing to have this conversation with you in person, you're acting aggrieved about women expressing their feelings. Seriously, why don't you just scream at women to stop feeling the way they feel about men some more, I'm sure that will help things.
Permissive of what though? Because I was complaining about men creating a permissive culture around disrespecting and mistreating women.
We are literally having this conversation because you're hyperdefensive and equate women being cautious of and scared of men with them thinking men are bad.
I'm guessing you'd be scared of a bear, do you think bears are evil? Do you hate bears?
Literally no one is saying that, you're shadowboxing.
It literally is from logic that you refuse to understand.
You still don't get that the issue is that you're claiming it is generalization when the issue is that women aren't fucking mindreaders and men often conceal their motives and blend in with more benign men. You have to be cautious around men because you don't know what you're getting.
Oh, no, I bet it has to be really hard being viewed with distrust because men as a whole behave badly. The problem is that that feeling doesn't permit you to tell women that they should stop being cautious and that their fears are unreasonable.
