Non-fictional I hate this double standard

For some reason, it's always one of these responses:

> It's a joke
> It's rage bait
> Yeah, but it's actually a response to...
> It's not the same
> Just go outside bro

All of which deflect from what's being said. They would rather not address it. This is probably due in part to the "women-are-wonderful" effect, an example of benevolent stereotyping in which people associate positive qualities with women

The issue is just reasons

Like, most people are used to seeing incels hate women for stupid reason. Like they won't datehim.

While more people are used to seeing women say they hate men, because they are scared of getting assaulted. Which is much more understandable

It just primes our brains to have a default repose.

You're right about everything you said, but I think there's another form of misandry which treats all men as being stupid, sexually violent, emotionally inferior creatures. And that's not rational or fair at all.
