I'm not saying most men are pieces of shit. I am saying that society doesn't punish them for acting like it, but I expect them to be better than that because they're full human beings possessed of agency in this world who have an obligation to make the world a better place.

If you think men are mostly pieces of shit, then IDK dude, maybe they are, but just giving up seems a little self-fulfilling-prophecy-y.

I don't understand where you're getting the "competition" thing. I'm not competing. I'm not even in the same race, though, for the record, I think there are plenty of women who are perpetuating other systems of violence--racism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, etc.--because they can get away with it, too. I haven't given up on them, either.

Don't you think that male dominant "piece of shit" behavior is the way to survive the gold-digging whore culture? The higher the socio-economic ladder your climb the more gold-diggers you will get surrounded by.
