. . . I could see why you would snarl about it. However, you're not talking to rapist or an abuser. You're not talking about anybody who ever befriended or supported one. Every male does not deserve the level of hostility you somehow believe is necessary because of the actions of unrelated males. Hostility that isn't even needed to fight them.

And I'm not talking about tolerating things that would support rapists or abusers. I'm talking about normal males. And if you argue that there aren't any, or they ought to just suck it up, well, like it or not, you made my point.

Look, you don't hurt my feelings with it. But feminists at most, are about forty percent of fifty percent of the population. A minority. Even if you get sixty percent of the females behind one feminist issue, that's still only thirty percent at most. If you think you you can win anything politically with that, you're cracked. Women won the vote with male allies. All male state legislatures ratified suffrage. The first state that allowed women vote, Wyoming, had two women for every five men. They enacted it because they wanted to attract women to the state.

Just informing you. Your goals are going to be stymied without at least some male support. You have the ideology. I'm telling you the mathematics. When was the last major, feminist victory? What's happening with reproductive rights now? As satisfying as it is to tell men to go stick it, that women are being raped by somebody else, so you have the right to be offend any guy, remember it's your engines you're blowing out.

Lastly, did you read any of my warnings? You would have known you'd be just this offended. To have read on to just give this reaction, is not very bright. Maybe you should participate in conversations where you contribute something.
