People who see entire demographics of humanity as âthe enemyâ are so baffling to me, whether theyâre incels/misogynists or racists or radfems or whomever I just look at them and wonder why youâd choose a life of such misery. People of a certain gender, sexuality, race or whatever demographic are not inherently your enemy just because they are part of said demographic. Gender and race essentialism is incredibly dangerous and untrue and it especially confuses me when people who claim to be trans allies abide by the former because that mindset is especially dangerous to trans people.
People are individuals, not a hive mind. Society as a whole has massive issues, and some groups may benefit from them more than others (like how the patriarchy hurts men but they still benefit from it far more than women ever will because it has men in mind, albeit only a certain type of man), but individuals are individuals. And what a depressing life it must be to instead navigate the world believing that millions of people are beneath you before theyâve even spoken a word.
Iâd be more moved by this if this site didnât constantly shut down legit discussions about misogyny. When placed in that context, posts like this just read like the conservative politician in my country who told the media that she was âtired of being demonised for being whiteâ.
