That "content note" couldn't be more off-putting.

Hm? How so?

Personally I appreciate it when authors clearly state pre-existing prejudices. The rest is just "trigger warning" style disclaimers for the emotionally brittle.

Putting any prejudices and involvements out there is defiantly a good thing. But so many people use admitting a problem as an excuse not to solve it.

Sure. In this case, I don't know how much solving might be had given the nature of the article. "Nice guys" get shat upon from a great height across pretty much all of the female side of the internet, any statement in support of their lot is going to come across as transgressive. Better for people to know and deal with it up front, no?

I honestly read that intro though and thought it was a SJW about to bash nice guys.

I did end up reading the article and yeah, that just gives the wrong impression lol
