If you punish me for something I didn’t do. Then I’ll hate you. There’s nothing more to it.

If you lack the empathy to understand the bigger picture, that says more about you than it does them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you wanna do “sexism against men because they are sexist towards women” you should at least do things that you suffer from. There are no men-only art galleries in Australia. How is this supposed to teach men “see how you feel? That’s how I feel every day”.

They aren’t in a position to (for example) stop men from getting hired into executive positions, though. The lack of capacity for a discriminated minority to effectively retaliate in-kind is part of the point, is it not?

Moreover, what entitles you to decide for them what forms of protest are acceptable?

The fact that you managed to combine a “bootstraps” fallacy and “white moderate” paternalism (albeit applied to sexism instead of racism) so succinctly is honestly kinda impressive.
