Why is it that the right wing incel/MGTOW crowd can’t seem to ever come up with specific examples? It’s always vague nonsense like this.

Yeah no problem with my liberal friends here. I don’t think it’s your gender causing your problems

That’s wild. I’ve never felt that way at all. Are you sure its because you’re male? What prompts your constant vilification?

I’m male and hang around exclusively left wing groups with very opiates feminists and I’ve never felt like I was out of place, hated, vilified or unwanted.

Are you sure you’re not just being an argumentative asshole? Because if you take personal offense to things like male privilege being acknowledged and make comments like these, I can see why people might not wa to be involved with you.

I cannot remember a time that anyone on the left was hostile to me for being male. On the other hand, I’ve been called things like “pussy” and “beta cuck” by people on the right just for my political positions and that seems a hell of a lot more hostile to my masculinity than anyone on the left has ever been to me.

I think you’re just assuming that when people talk about patriarchy, they’re talking about maleness, which shows a total misunderstanding of the issue and the problem.

I mean, this is just turning into a “he said, she said” sort of deal. What are they saying that you feel personally associates with and cannot be separated from being male?

Personally I’ve never grown up feeling like people hated me just for being male, whether it was from the left or the right.

Do you also take offense to white kids learning about Americas history of slavery?
