See it's funny how it's always men who take criticism for being immature and never ever women. My ex was ridiculously stunted. She was a capricious, gas lighting brat. The ratio of immature men to women out there is pretty even, yet it's a running joke that men are the immature ones. My ex couldn't even cook herself lunch, hold a job, and expected me to just hand her money like I'm her dad. Plenty of women out there like that too, just as many as there are man boys out there who think their wives are their mom. But it's only ever a thing to go after the men on this issue
Using the word men to criticise only the toxic ones and telling all the ones that aren't toxic to just not feel addressed is pretty weird to me.
Especially when if one were to criticize women this same logic very definitely would not be applied.
I once read a comment that said something like, "if your post would be considered racist if you wrote 'black men' instead of just 'men', then it's very likely misandrist."
Good words to live by if you aren't an asshole.
