    Incel behavior

    Ah, there is that ad hominem I was expecting to crop up at some point, seeking to publicly shame me into silence.

    And it’s a perfect example of intellectual bankruptcy, where someone is so bereft of a counterargument that the only tools left to them are those of shaming and ridicule. It’s feelings before facts, of a rage-consumed person so desperately intent on furthering their anti-male gender bigotry simply because that man exercises equal rights.

    Because isn’t that what women have been fighting for over the last century? For the ability to say “thanks, but no thanks” and the ability to permanently close a metaphorical relationship door for whatever reason she deems personally appropriate?

    Or is it “rights for me, but not for thee”? Is it that men simply do not have the right to say no, and do not have the right to permanently close that metaphorical door?

    C’mon, this is the platform where you can let your anti-male gender bigotry shine! Don’t be shy! Be the flaming hypocrite you were meant to be!!

      Mate I’m not gonna comment on anything else you’ve said, but it’s very funny to see you immediately whine about an “ad hominem” given your other very personal insults and aggressive tone in other comments in this larger thread lol, it’s like… Grow a pair and insult people, or whinge about being insulted. Don’t do both 😂

        personal insults

        Oh, yes. Because criticizing someone’s lack of real-world experience - with context - is so very much like trying to shame a person into silence using a single-word insult.

        Like, apples and oranges are the same species, no?

        Nuance, due. It exists. It’s a real thing.

            Man you are wound up so tight

            And too much of this world is painted with the same fucking brush, when that’s the worst possible thing that can be done.

            Too many people taking too many cognitive shortcuts, refusing to dig deeper or acknowledge details and differences or even accept facts and evidence over their pet ideologies because it’s too hard for their pablum-fed goldfish brains to handle.

            So I push back. Sometimes a slap in the face wakes people up when nothing else does.

      Sometimes I see the gender wars between you two feels like the moden day equivalent of cointelpro.

      Both men and women are hurting on some level, and in recent times both of them lash out at one another. I think the biggest reason is that gender recently has been politicised (not 1:1 mind you), being primarly men on the right, and women primarly on the left.

        And some people just read waaaayyyy too much into things. Then there are people like you, who read the entire room wrong.

        Asshole behaviour and systemic gender bigotry deserves being called out. That’s all I did. Nothing more. There is only one person who lashed out here, and it wasn’t me.
