    This is terrible logic to go by.

    If you generalise half the population and insult them then of course people are going to be mad at you.

    This is like some boomer saying “All feminists are easily offended lesbians that just like to shout out people”

    Then smugly being like “haha you proved my point” when a femininst rightly takes issue with that statement.

      I havent read the article, but from the heading and the teaser of it it seems to be a personal opinion piece of what she would prefer and asking other women about it.

      Where exactly does she actively insult all men?

        The part about saying she would prefer being alone in the woods with an animal that would maul and eat her alive than being with [insert trait you were born with].

        If you don’t think it’s insulting, switch out the word “men” with gay/jew/trans or any other group of people and ask if those people would feel insulted.

        It’s a statement that very likely would be removed by moderators and gotten you banned on certain instances on Lemmy if you did. I honestly don’t believe you’re asking that question in good faith.

          I can’t say that I blame her and I’m a guy. Besides, you know she’s just being over the top to make a point. Take five seconds, look at what she’s really saying and stop looking for reasons to be angry at her.

      As a random man I don’t feel insulted by this at all. I would also rather be in the woods with a random bear than a random man. The bear is more predictable in preferring to have nothing to do with me.

          I literally expanded on my reasons in the other reply.

          There are literally a bunch of posts from other people explaining their reasons for preferring random bear as well.

          The fact that a random man can be told multiple times “I don’t know you well enough to be comfortable with this,” with explanations, and they will still respond with “there’s no way you actually mean the words you are saying” is a big contributing factor.

            Cool. But I really think your reasons are complete bullshit.

            Like take your last paragraph, you actually think that because some men don’t listen to reasonable arguments you would rather be with a violent and wild animal that is physically incapable of listening to reason?

            Seriously you’re either actually insane or you’re just bullshiting to try and prove a point that you’ve already committed to without actually thinking it through.

              No, that’s why I’d rather be with the bear.

              You seem to be really angry about some rando’s opinion on a hypothetical situation. That’s not normal.

              Bears generally aren’t violent unless you threaten them. People survive seeing bears in the woods all the time, and once they are out of that situation they generally don’t have to worry that the bear is stalking them.

                I’m not angry, I’m incredulous that you either think I’m dumb or you’re completely braindead. There’s a difference.

                People survive seeing bears in the woods *all the time

                I absolutely 1,000,000 guarantee people survive seeing men more often than they survive seeing a bear.

                  And we’re moving the goalposts. Note how the article, and my post, specified in the woods and you have changed the situation to include: In public. Places with good lighting. Lots of people around. Easy access to law enforcement. People you personally know (and therefore not random).

                  I absolutely 1,000,000 guarantee people get attacked by men more often than they get attacked by bears.

    I read her post some days ago and thought “she got some kinky humor”.

    Now I think “She has no humor at all and was dead serious”.

      Irony on the public side of internet died with Gamergate. It’s all been downhill since then.

      Edit: In case this was misinterpreted, I meant that irony died when Gamergate started, because vitriol and far right dogwhistles infested everything.
