    1. Make up a ragebait scenario comparing half the population to lethal predators

    2. Act surprised that half the population does not like being compared to wild animals

    3. Write posts about how people being insulted by your insulting ragebait are clearly the problem

    4. Book deals for the article authors

    5. Lose support for your causes from the half the population you insulted and use this as further proof that you are righteous

      ragebait scenario

      Actually read the link.

      does not like being compared to wild animals

      Literally not what is happening.

      Y’all in such a rush to be so personally offended you aren’t actually caring about what is being said.

        clickbait titles are clearly effective at drawing attention, but not enough to get most to read it and i wish there was a way to mitigate their impact

        I’ve read plenty, it’s all garbage. No amount of "you’re not bothering to listen will convince me that people fantasizing about me being a predator so they can feel justified attacking me aren’t a threat. I’d rather be eaten by a bear than talk to someone bending backward to defend this femcel nonsense

          🙄

          Tell yourself whatever makes you feel the most persecuted I guess.

          people fantasizing about me being a predator

          Literally no one has said that. You’re the only one placing yourself in the place of a predator. Like seriously, how hard is it to understand that this is how women feel about being isolated with men they don’t know and not ALL MEN EVERYWHERE or YOU SPECIFICALLY.

              Its not fair to say black people are bad because they commit more crime per capita, because the reason they are doing so is not because they are black.

              Are you saying that people just dont understand why men are raping women? What’s the thing we should be talking about then?

                I think that there is no more room for men in society and that is why they commit more and more atrocities

                Much like minority groups, it is the fault of society rather than the individual and making hateful generalizations isn’t helpful even though ‘the numbers don’t lie’

                  Oh, bullshit. Men were happy to commit all sorts of atrocities (more so, in fact) when society only had room for men. If men don’t like the fact they can no longer legally rape their wives, or use, ‘But she burnt my dinner!’ as a reasonable excuse for breaking a woman’s bones, or use , ‘Look at the way she was dressed!’ as an excuse for rape, that’s just tough.

                  There’s no room for that in our society anymore, and if that sounds like a bad thing, leave.

          You sure need a lot of straw men to make your point.

          Your entire string of arguments here is again proving why the bear is the right choice. You’re so fragile, you can’t even respond honestly to a hypothetical situation. I can only imagine how you’d respond in an actual crisis when faced with something your porcelain ego perceives as threatening.

            “If you are offended at being compared to a bear, this proves you are worse than one”

            Stupid

      No not half the population, just the dumb ones. The men in my life understand why women would choose the bear.

      If you don’t understand then you don’t have enough women in your life who truly trust you.

      People getting mad about it are the problem. Instead of being offended men should probably wonder why women might feel that way. I’m a guy with a daughter and I’d tell her to pick the bear. Men as a whole are pretty terrible, and I will definitely instill that in my daughter and teach her to be cautious with men.

      Half the population. Lol no. Try the idiot portion who can’t comprehend why women feel more threatened by a man than a bear.
