    I see where you’re coming from, and not gonna debate it further.

    Still, to me it looks this division is growing, and hostility is barely ever a good answer. There seemed to be more unity and more decisiveness to approach things together just a few years prior, and I’m not sure what ended it.

        I’m sorry to hear what you have experienced. Male abuse victims are not only real and valid, they are more common than people normally think. Every time I see some bullshit like “always a man”, I lose my temper a bit.

        And for as long as I can, I refuse to allow this echo chamber to exist. Unfortunately, the path of non-intervention does not seem to be helpful to me, as feminists just continue to be boiling in a circlejerk of fear and loathing.

        I do not intervene when people speak of their actual negative experiences with certain people, I think it’s actively harmful, but when it comes to such general hate messages, this is something I will not tolerate - much like feminists themselves back in the day did not tolerate men being dismissive of them as nothing more than dumb housewives, for example. Because it shouldn’t be tolerated and breeds a skewed and dangerous worldview.

        With that said, you do you, and with the experience and trauma you have faced, I 100% understand you not wanting to have anything with women. I hope you’ll have more positive examples around you, though, as most women, as I have experienced, still do not buy this misandric shit at least for the most part, and are not hostile.
