Women are the most hated people the world over. No advantages, only downsides. Any man to ever walk the earth can never experience the equivalent horrors of being despised as much as a woman.

Edit: /s. Do people seriously think this way?

You’re massively ignorant of just how little the world cares about the suffering of males. The same amount of harm to a female will, ten out of ten times, generate more sympathy and outrage than that same harm to a male.

When Boko Haram attacked hundreds of thousands of children, the only reports that generated any outrage were the ones talking only about girls being kidnapped, even though they murdered all the boys. Hell, when the victims were all male, the sex wasn’t even stated in the articles, it’s just “students” etc. But every single time girls were victimized, you’d better believe “girls” or “schoolgirls” was explicitly used. The reason is simple–people in general actually give a shit about girls.

The empathy gap between the sexes is very real, and your comment is a perfect example of it.

I really should’ve used /s . I thought the hyperbole would make it obvious, but it’s a little sad we live in the world where people might actually truly believe it.

The suicide rate among men, including boys is going up. Will that make you feel better?

I can’t tell if this is an example of Poe’s law or why it’s a thing.

It was supposed to be hyperbolic and sarcastic, but it looks like such beliefs can actually be held.

Sarcasm and hyperbole are two of my favorite things, but Poe’s ls is a real thing.

Without a clear indicator of intent, it’s impossible to distinguish snark from extremism
