    Criticizing men is a must, and a duty.

    Criticizing women is misogyny.

    Women are very well insulated from responsibility and the consequences of their own actions. One needs to only look at many of the “male crimes” that they hoist and froth over to see this in action. For example:

    • 71% of nonreciprocal domestic violence is women beating up men
      • Many police precincts are forced to use the Duluth Model, which frames men as the only possible aggressor
      • Many police precincts still use software where the DV perps are hard-coded as male, and the victim as female, which allows the charges against female perps to be more easily thrown out on technicalities.
      • I have seen attestations from police where unwritten rules existed that forbid them from arresting women to avoid political blowback, and forced them to arrest the men, even if they were being carried out on a stretcher by EMS.
    • Women rape men as frequently as men rape women
      • It took the FBI until 2015 to even begin collecting stats on women-on-man rapes because before that they refused to categorize that as rape.
      • As above, many police precincts cannot even record a rape victim as male, due to how the victim’s gender is hard-coded, and most police won’t even try to record the crime because the process requires them to conduct a female rape kit - which a male victim cannot satisfy.

    • For the same crime with the same damages, the gender sentencing gap is three times larger than the wealth sentencing gap, and seven times larger than the racial sentencing gap. Having been born female is the largest single “get out of jail free” card a person could possibly hold.
    • Pretty much anything by TheTinMen.

    Honestly, I have poked my nose into some femcel groups on places like Reddit, and those groups would make the incel subreddits look like rank amateurs where gender bigotry is concerned. Men have nothing on women when it comes to hating the opposite gender. They are so far behind the curve that women are blazing that I’m shocked they’re even a going concern.

    And this is across the entire population, and not just among femcels - there are three times as many women under 30 hating men as men under 30 hating women.
