    You can’t enlist the support of an entire gender by telling them that they are the source of all of society’s evils, and that they themselves are fundamentally evil no matter what, that they are all rapists-in-training, that the world would be better off if they were all killed, and that they are no better than vermin. And more importantly: that when they do something objectionable it is misogyny and bigoted and disgusting and (with some things) even illegal, but when women do it, it is a big nothingburger with zero consequences for the woman.

    Where in the Democrat platform says all this? You’re using the lies the right uses.

      It doesn’t. Hence,

      it’s society in general.

      That’s the source. Not politics, society. In fact, politics - aside from the laws implemented, which can be exceedingly bigoted and sexist while attempting to be about equality - doesn’t say much about this at all.

      Hardly. As a generally liberal person… I see that the amount of scrutiny white young men go through is more than normal.

        They are literally out there right now with their “your body, my choice” bullshit proving why we they deserved scrutiny in the first place. And where did this “white” shit come from? I hadn’t read it was only white guys doing this.
