    It’s perfectly logical to be more afraid of the thing you’ve actually been hurt by. That’s how fear works.

    It’s highly emotional, however, to be butthurt that someone else has a reaction that ultimately doesn’t affect you in any material way.

    If a man was that afraid of me, I’d feel bad for them, but I’d not throw an online temper tantrum about it.

      No, it’s not. That’s ridiculous. It’s completely illogical.

      So Black people aren’t allowed to get mad about racism? Or they are only allowed to be mad when it personally affects them?

        You don’t have any new arguments, do you. I’ve already addressed that.

        Ultimately, I don’t care if you are mad about it. Women are still going to give you a wide berth when they feel like it, and apparently with reason. The men who react the way you do are part of the reason men are perceived as a threat. I’m done trying to invite you to have a bit of basic comprehension.

          Any woman who gives me a wide berth because I think misandry is unacceptable, is doing both of us a favor. I don’t want to associate with people like that.
