There was a wave of, likely from reddit, 'mens rights' users who came over and this happens all of the time now. Any time a woman mentions issues with a man, it's "YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT" as if the things can't both exist.

I mean look what they're upvoting: 'I saw a feminist say she doesn't care about guys, I super swear guys!'

It's just fucking embarrassing how childish they are. Not even childish, because children can learn empathy. It's as if they quite literally have zero empathy, and can only engage in sympathy with someone who is somehow similar to them. Like should I just post this comic here, the one we all read, as a reply to these people?

Irony is completely lost upon them.

The Bear incident made this plenty clear.

And they'll just downvote anything you say, because you're the bad guy now, regardless of what you're talking about.

I'm just curious what it must be like to be so fragile. It's like any time they aren't being directly supported they fall apart and lash out at everyone around them. The hardest part is watching women calmly wait out the guys' tantrum, then try to carefully explain to him (and in a way that makes him Feel Like A Man still, ever holding his hand emotionally) what is happening and they will still freak out.

It really is just embarrassing.
