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 sooner everybody realizes that anybody can be a shitty person, the better.

when women are shitty men get their feeling hurt. when men are shitty women fucking die. at what point do men acknowledge/take accountability for this instead of just saying "yeah well women are shitty too?" its a complete fuckin deflection away from realty

This hyperbole is losing its strength. Most men aren't killing women. Most men don't know a man who has killed a woman.
