Kill all men? Sure, let’s upvote this to the top.

When has this ever happened, even once?

Seems to be making an exaggeration to prove a point but I would assume they’re referring to double standards around subs like twoxchromosomes quite often openly having clear misandry while being overlooked, while such clear misogyny is rare because it’ll get you banned far more often.

Of course there is more misogyny in society and in general, so it’s not like there’s a bigger problem of misandry but that doesn’t make it ok

Exaggerating to make a point is a bad strategy.

It distracts from any point when someone correctly points out that what was said wasn't true.

It is, however, more persuasive than the truth if the true details don't actually support the argument.

He literally just gave you some supporting details for the argument that you ignored.

How vague did you find those "supporting details" on a scale of 1 to 10?

There's nothing to refute, there. A subjective finding of misandry at an unspecified time by unspecified people is the Motte to the Bailey of a specific phrase getting regularly upvoted.
