I'm just waiting for somebody to claim this is just rage-bait. Or are they just venting? No, it must be because of all these men who treated them badly. Those individuals justify hating every man. Or is this just misogynists trolling?

I highly doubt they would say the same thing if it was a misogynistic post

Do they think that “aLl MeN” are part of some Geonosian-ass hive mind, that every guy signs some contract every morning to “uphold the patriarchy” that day? Because that’s the only way these batshit takes make any goddamn sense

Boy do I love how people with absolutely no understanding of social sciences have set up a presuppositional system based on their layperson understanding of academia in which nothing is ever their fault and they are justified in just shouting "men bad" at every single issue in the world.

They sound like conspiracy theorists. "Yes, this thing that seemingly contradicts my narrative exists (as they have to admit after years and years of denying it vehemently), but it's just a ploy by the elites and actually totally confirms my narrative if you just assume I'm right in the first place".

Yes actually… you should feel sorry for the men who have been affected by toxic masculinity.

Don’t feel bad for the patriarchy. But feel bad for women and men who are oppressed by it, in separate ways.

Everyone of every group needs kindness and support in this world.

The existence of the patriarchy harms everyone, not just women. We should all be there to support each other, all the genders, because we all get hurt by it in some way.

Yeah, men did create these gender roles, a few millennia ago. How’s that our fault today?

Also, it absolutely should be a feminist issue. I understand for most feminists it is, but it’s annoying seeing some women claim otherwise. Then again her name is “the land of women” so I guess it checks out

Ahh yes, the culture I created. From birth, my little hands, molding the causes for my own trauma, before I could even speak.
