      Sometimes things are more nuanced than “bad thing is bad”. We have thousands of years of history underpinning this conversation, and for most of that time, women were treated like dirt. It is healthy, natural, and human for an underclass to harbor fear and resentment toward its oppressor class. And if the way that is expressed is twitter memes, so be it.

        Bullshit, bullshit, and bullshit.

        It may be natural but it’s not good. It’s one of those stupid monkey urges that we should be suppressing as evolved, sentient beings.

        Sure, it’s more nuanced, misandry doesn’t have as much a visceral impact on men’s lives. But to minimise it to nothing is a bit far don’t you think? That’s the same black and white un-nuanced thinking you’re accusing others of.

        Women being able to be shitty people doesn’t make all men saints automatically. There is no absolution of sin by proving the other “side” is bad too
