    At no point did anyone in this thread ask for you to comfort men.

    I made a comment saying young men had it hard. You took it upon yourself to dismiss their struggle. Then you took it upon yourself to say their struggle doesn’t matter because women have it worse and anyone who brings it up is a sexist. then you took it upon yourself to blame young men today for sexism in society that existed before you were born.

    I’m asking for basic empathy towards your fellow human being. I’m wasn’t even asking for you specially to have empathy, just society in general.

    I am truly sorry for what you experience. However, misfortune isn’t a competition. Just because women have it worse doesn’t mean it’s okay for men to have their own problems.

      This whole comment thread is taking place in the context of a guy who is responding to a meme about creepy pua teachings (you know, the thing that causes all the abuse I suffered) with ‘whaa men have it so hard’, an I’m being called unempathetic and accused of whataboutism. Thick irony fellas.

          Look I dont mean to blow your mind but misogyny ain’t new and these pua fucks have been saying the same things in different spaces for all of human history. My dads generation was ‘locker room talk’

          So deal with the reality that pua beliefs are as harmful as I say they are, or deny it - I dont give a fuck anymore.

            Look I’ve been in a lot of locker rooms.

            First, most of the talk is some vaguely homoerotic stuff about other men’s bodies and what their workout routine is.

            Even when it is more misogynistic, it in no way, shape or form involves casually taking about pedophilia or molesting your relatives.

              Here’s donald trump talking on public radio about wanting to fuck his daughter and peeping on kids: https://people.com/politics/donald-trump-howard-stern-interviews-crude-comments-women/

              here he is defending his shit as locker room talk: https://youtu.be/QDjDPRk3nPY?t=33

              Your opinion is fine. but there’s lots of guys like trump and my dad out there that disagree with you. and they chat about peeping on kids and wanting to fuck their daughters

                Trump also claimed he could destroy a hurricane by nuking it.

                I am telling you, it is not at all common to discuss being a pedophile.

                You’re taking an extreme minority of men and using it as an excuse to villify all men. You know, a full half of the population.

                  you’re asserting its an extreme minority but Trump’s popularity among men begs to differ. These pedophilia apologists elected the man. I would have agreed with you more before 2016. Mask off moment for american men imo.

                  and if you’re not american I’m sorry for assuming, thats the context Im living in and thats the context Im speaking of.

                    42 percent of womem voters voted for Trump. I don’t see you making sweeping statements about them.

                    Also

                    35 percent of eligible male voters didn’t even vote.

                    Among those 18-29, a full 50 percent didn’t vote.

                    Among men 14-17, exactly 0 percent voted.
