Misandry kind of just motivated me to be a better man tbh, to be more respectful and courteous towards women. Maybe you’re just too insecure to self reflect and grow?This whole thread is people talking past each other. #1 is saying decency shouldn’t need shame, while lightblue is saying some men hear women’s anger as context and reflect from it. Saying ‘it’s not about you, it’s about men’ doesn’t actually resolve anything, because group criticism still hits individuals. The real argument is whether that kind of rhetoric leads to growth or just resentment
That’s not really what I’m saying, if a woman says something like “I hate men” I’m not offended because I know I’m not a part of, or the cause of her anger. And there is a difference between this and a man saying “I hate women”, aside from any cultural rhetoric, in that men are the oppressors and women are the oppressed.
I don’t agree with misogyny though I’m just not going out of my way to prove something to somebody I never did anything to. Basic courtesy/respect is one thing but if a woman has an “I hate all men” attitude I’ll still be respectful but I’m not going out of my way to prove shit to her past that.
I never said I was going out of my way to prove something to someone, I meant more like passive changes in attitude or language, I’m not like “gosh periods are so awful omg” but if a woman tells me she’s on hers then I’ll just be more relaxed and easygoing with them and not fuck with them as much as usual
