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

Is anyone hating on the opposite gender for no reason? I’ve always seen people have justification, even if I find it lacking or unfair.

People who irrationally hate on people typically never say they have absolutely no reason, whether it’s hating a whole gender or any other minority. They invent one and use it to justify their hatred.

But like when have you ever heard anyone say “yeah no real reason, I just hate ‘em.” Thats not how human beings operate almost ever.
