I’ve seen the same analogy used to justify racism.

(I’m a cis man myself, BTW.)

Maybe. But an analogy can be rightly used or wrongly used. Racism use this analogy to speak about genetics, biology, to spead hatred; feminism use this analogy to make changes in men and manhood, and spread respect. The difference is essential.

Is your sex not also based on genetics and biology?
zloubida@sh.itjust.works 8 hours ago
Yes, but violence and power-thirst is not a biological trait of men. It’s a cultural one.

What percentage of a group needs to be considered trash in order for the whole group to be considered trash?

I’m a married man with daughters. I want a better world for them.

If you want a better world, maybe start with yourself and end your discrimination.

Yikes that’s sad. Another generation of men hating femcels shooting themselves in the foot because of inherited prejudice. There’s a big difference between calling out bad actors within your group (which I do with fellow guys regularly) and being misandrist. Seems like you got henpecked pretty hard

I’m no misandrist. I’m just capable of reading statistics. Our world is not safe for women, and if you deny that, you’re a part of the problem.
