Obviously I can understand why mysoginists are hated upon, As their belief is all women are trash or men are superior etc. But why are incels also generally hated upon? They are lacking in a way that makes them unable to gey in a relationship, but that shouldn’t necessarily mean they are mysoginists, right?

What am I missing here? I haven’t ever had a relationship with a woman, but I don’t hate all women either. I just consider myself unlucky. Does that make me an incel?

    It’s not unreasonable for a parent to not trust a single man with a girl’s sleepover because they don’t know them.

    The fact is, you shouldn’t trust anybody who might take advantage of you if you are vulnerable, particularly if they are in a position of authority, especially if they are the lone figure of authority in a dynamic where abuse is known to happen.

    You wouldn’t go to a sleepover with your boss if you thought he wanted to get in your pants, would you?

    I’m not going to dignify the rest of that with a response. You can bark about racial equivalency all you want but you have obviously never been a woman cornered by a man who wanted something from you. The fact that women have to be wary of men isn’t an opinion. It’s life. Go ask a woman you know.

      You didn’t originally state not trusting a single man with hosting a sleepover because you didn’t know them. You said intimately know.

      This paranoia about being taken advantage of is insane. How do you function around strangers?

      You’re moving the scenario to a sleepover with a boss who wants to sleep with you. Where did that come from? How are you getting to that from a divorced acquaintance who is the parent of one of your kids? That’s a completely different scenario. I thought you didn’t know this single dad?

        You’re moving the scenario

        So… I guess comparing this situation to something wildly unrelated to illustrate your point is only something you’re allowed to do?

        The concept is simple, and widely permeates media. I did your work for you and typed in the phrase “why do women fear men” into a basic Google search. Here’s some sources for you:

        https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/w3mv8l/do_women_really_live_in_constant_fear_of_men_if/

        It’s not my job to field your hypotheticals while you berate an idea that isn’t even mine. I’m a man. I don’t know this issue first hand, so maybe you could do like I did and seek to learn it.

        In the mean time, I don’t particularly care about how you choose to frame it or how ridiculous you think it is. It’s not a concept you can just dispel by beating me in an argument. So either try to understand it or don’t. But I’m not going to argue with you about it.

          I replied to your original comment with why I feel this viewpoint is flawed. Dangerous even.

          I used an example as a counterpoint.

          Your reply used a different example to argue against mine without actually addressing what I’m trying to say by countering your initial comment.

          It’s just as shitty to type “why do whites fear blacks” in google.

          If you want to give up on this issue that’s on you, but get off your high horse.

            Go actually learn about the viewpoint then. The only one on a high horse is the person making egregious false equivalencies to dilute a very real fear that women have to live with.

            And besides that, I’d like to see you argue your “that viewpoint is dangerous” stance to a couple of parents who are nervous about sending their daughter to a sleepover where the only authority figure is a grown man.

            If you really don’t get why there’s a problem with that, maybe ask a woman in your life.

            In the mean time, take your misplaced anger somewhere else. I won’t be responding to it anymore.

              Fear based on immutable traits is always wrong. Not a difficult concept. Kind of the basis of the equal protection clause and liberalism in general

                It may be conceptually wrong, but so is rape. So is assault. Those things being wrong don’t make them impossible.

                Therefore, it isn’t wrong to be afraid of those things. In a perfect world, no one would have to be afraid of anyone. But also bad things wouldn’t happen.

                You can’t argue this point away just because you’re adhering to a specific political ideology about how the world should be. Reality is what it is. 1 in 3 women experience sexual assault of some kind in their life time. People who rape or assault will almost always pick a target they can overpower.

                It might be wrong to be wary of men because they’re men, but it’s also reality that women have to do that.

                I’ve said it a few times already: Don’t take my word for it. Look into womens’ perspectives online or ask one you know if they’ve ever avoided a man that sketched them out.

                If you don’t seek their opinions, what right do you have deciding what’s right or wrong for someone else?

                Additionally, I really don’t feel like rehashing every single point I just made with the other guy because you also think it’s a matter of whether you agree or not. I linked resources. I spelled it out several times, honestly more thoroughly than I should have.

                I urge you to look into it yourself. Seek what women actually say and feel and fight the urge to just tell them they are wrong because you feel personally attacked. It’s not personal.

                I’m out.

                  Anyone who stereotypes anyone based on immutable traits is wrong. If there are individual women who do this to men then they are wrong. Same as any white person who would do this to an Asian person.

                  All humans are individuals and should be treated as such. Being prejudiced against an entire race/sex/sexual orientation is wrong under all circumstances
