    Where exactly does she actively insult all men?

    The part about saying she would prefer being alone in the woods with an animal that would maul and eat her alive than being with [insert trait you were born with].

    If you don’t think it’s insulting, switch out the word “men” with gay/jew/trans or any other group of people and ask if those people would feel insulted.

    It’s a statement that very likely would be removed by moderators and gotten you banned on certain instances on Lemmy if you did. I honestly don’t believe you’re asking that question in good faith.

      I can’t say that I blame her and I’m a guy. Besides, you know she’s just being over the top to make a point. Take five seconds, look at what she’s really saying and stop looking for reasons to be angry at her.

        I was merely replying to the other person who seemed to be arguing in bad faith.

        I don’t really have much interest the online gender debate. From the few tidbits I’ve seen, it’s not a healthy debate and it doesn’t align with anything I’ve seen in real life in Norway.

        You yourself have completely ignored the argument you’re responding to in order to chastise about arguing with a bad take.

        It’s looping upon itself and it all starts with one bad take. Maybe you can accept bad faith arguments are bad and move on?

        “I don’t feel comfortable being alone at night in the ghetto” = reasonable statement

        “I don’t feel comfortable around black people” = being over the top to make a point.

        It’s not okay and she should be shunned for saying such things.

          “I don’t feel comfortable being alone in the woods with a stranger” = reasonable statement

          “I don’t feel comfortable around men in public” = not what was said.

        It’s too big of a group to generalise. Your seemingly utter lack of understanding will only help drive the wedge between the genders even further.

        It’s genuinely sad to see how annoyed and bitter some of my older male relatives have become due to people like you acting as if only 1 gender matter. Back in the days they would have called themselves feminists, but now their perception is that that group hates them instead.
