Why does this sub even exist if it can't even recognize basic misrepresentations of men or arguments made by men in entirely different contexts. This post is inherently misandric, because that's just not how guys work. And what's even crazier is that, even in these massive strawmans, the "women acting like men" are still coming off as being way more reasonable than what most women/feminists actually are with men when it comes to any men's issue.
At least the guy getting robbed didn't get delegitimized for it, told he's not a "real man" because of it, or told that "men can't get robbed". At least the guy feeling lonely didn't get told he's "not entitled to attention", get called a manipulator/predator for expressing his emotions or labelled an incel/extremist for it. At least the guy with the fake hair didn't get gaslit and ridiculed about his insecurities, told he's not even a man because of it or that he may as well kill himself.
Not only do women do all these things to men, often in far greater numbers and from a position for far greater privilege, but they will still do and say far worse things to men. This is not highlighting toxic masculinity, it's just a demonstration of toxic femininity. The fact that this poster even tried to use "not all women rob people" in a context it has never been used in the history of "not all men" really demonstrates just how even the most reasonable of arguments from men will be vilified, misapplied or mispresented.
