    That is exactly the situation. No part of this post is hateful; it’s adversarial because women expressed a justified fear and men just “disagreed” because they don’t like to think about it. The point is to be controversial yet morally correct as a statement. It would absolutely not work just as well if it was inclusive, people would just agree with it and no one would care.

    Do you disagree with the statement? It doesn’t sound like you do. What’s the issue? Who is harmed by this post?

      for the record, you are getting downvoted because lemmy is full of men who have not been exposed to feminist theory in any meaningful way. they probably think they are here in good faith but unfortunately are falling quite short.

      you are absolutely in the right and i thank you for your leveled contribution to the discussion.
