    Is that reaction actually increasing the misogyny though? I kinda expect it’s just bringing out into the open what is already there tbh

          “All men are fucking douchebags and should die” -> “if they already think I’m a douchebag and the other side will be nice to me…”

          Don’t get me wrong, I understand that that’s an extreme but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen either. I’m not saying I agree really with either side and “turning down the feminism” is a kinda weird thing to say to your student but I have heard multiple different times of someone who saw how much they seemed to be hated and drifted to the right as they were accepted there (even if for the wrong reasons).

            I don’t think it’s feminism at that point. It’s misandry. I know many women who don’t understand the difference, but they’re not the same.

              That’s true but if they are often confused even within their own circles, the type of men who would drift to the right from it are also unlikely to know the difference

          Immediately jumping to a rape analogy isn’t fair or apt, you can always make someone else’s argument appear dumb when you jump to an EXTREME

        Instead of complaining that feminists speak out, why not call out the actual problem: the misogynists? Be a “staunch advocate” and have the conversations that women can’t.
