I asked Grok to gender swap the pic to illustrate how different it hits when it's attacking the other half of the human race:
It's crazy how the second version feels deeply uncomfortable and unacceptable in polite society, whereas the original version feels so common to be unremarkable - the water we swim in, something we see every day, on TV and films and all corporate media.
This does seem like getting mad at headlines.
The French author explains why a ‘general, negative feeling’ towards men can be healthy and even helpful.
>That query and the succeeding answer was initially intended for a small audience. Harmange got an unexpected publicity boost, however, when an adviser to the French minister of gender equality tried to have the book banned for inciting sex-based hatred. As a result, its initial 400-copy press has now ballooned into the tens of thousands and the slim volume has been sold internationally, including here in Canada in a recently released English translation.
...Ah.
What’s the problem with thinking of misandry as the flip side of misogyny? It’s a show of bad faith, because everyone knows there’s no system that empowers women when they hate men.
...Said the woman who has a best-selling book about hating men, in her media interview about hating men.
Also, notice the classic bigot (classic) tactic of assuming everyone secretly agrees with them, and anyone who apparently disagrees is lying.
"For this woman, bigotry felt like the best concept to express her frustration. She was praised for this, because she employed the same broken logic used by all bigots against a group it's socially acceptable to direct it towards."
