I agree with pretty much all of this:

That person's writing style makes me want to punch them in the face, even the parts I might agree with. It's a great example of how to turn off a potentially receptive audience through irritating message delivery, you could cut the condescension in that piece with a knife, that smug cutesy BS is the worst.

If I was actually going to argue with that person, I would point out that if misandry is a self fulfilling prophecy, so is misogyny, not in the sense that it didn't exist until it was harped upon, but in the sense that accusing a group of unwitting complacency in oppressive policy and beating them over the head is not an effective means of persuasion. I could agree completely with the message of feminism, but if I'm approached as if I'm some antebellum slave owner simply because I was born male and don't apologize for it, I'm going to default to f*ck you on general principal.

I also didn't like the writing style. So much anger directed at the reader.




I also don't know anyone personally who hates men or who hates women. Though there is obviously a lot of violence against women around the world by men, while most violence against men is done by their fellow men.

So hating all men is ok?

• The sole reason that women can not find a job, get a raise, or earn a promotion in a free-market economy.
  
• The bearer of a weapon of sexual assault, who is only too willing to use it at every opportunity.
  
• A pervert, a pedophile, a sociopath, or any combination thereof.
  
• A whining, narcissistic, spineless wimp looking for a surrogate mother.
  
• A violent, alcoholic, drug-using psychopath looking for his next victim.
  
• A "player" who uses, abuses, and then kicks women to the curb without the slightest twinge of conscience.
