First off... understanding her current opinions on trans ideology, I do not think she is the person to speak about feminist issues. However, as I am ALSO against the complete(ly idiotic) cancel culture, I shall leave this snippet here. (Hey, even a broken clock is correct twice a day.)

Novelist Margaret Atwood writes that when she asked a male friend why men feel threatened by women, he answered, "They are afraid women will laugh at them." When she asked a group of women why they feel threatened by men, they said, "We're afraid of being killed."

I first heard this phrase in Courtney Barnett's song "Nameless, Faceless":

I wanna walk through the park in the dark

Men are scared that women will laugh at them

I wanna walk through the park in the dark

Women are scared that men will kill them

I hold my keys

Between my fingers

So when these guys witnessed their moms getting beat by their dads did they just shrug their shoulders and go "equal rights equal fights?"

This is an aside, but it's a little disturbing how happy men are when another man gets abused. The whole Johnny Depp situation had guys crawling out of the woodwork to point out that his girlfriend was abusive and celebrate every step of the trial. I don't get that glee out of seeing women or men get hurt, or any of the court proceedings from abuse.

They really do hate us, and their own nature.

A lot of men on Reddit are upset at how domestic abuse of women is taken more seriously than domestic abuse of men... do they lack critical thinking skills? So many women DIE from it!

On reddit, disagreement (or any different opinions) = hate. Reddit truly is a hivemind

What the heck does this have to do with being gender critical? aside from frankly imo being wrong. My abuser in this life was female, and I assure you, she was every bit as dangerous as a deranged male. Women aren't "less violent" in the sense of any given individual. Taken as aggregate statistics, sure, but, taken as aggregate statistics we're also less often engineers and we see that as a problem. And neither reflect on the capacity of any given person.

Frankly, i dont think you contributed anything here other than "women aren't capable of being violent abusers so it doesnt count", which is a load of nonsense.

It was more meant to be a comment in Reddit’s moderation policy that pointing out the fact men commit more domestic violence than women is somehow promoting hate, while I have been told multiple times by TRAs to kill myself or that I should eat shit and die and that is not considered promoting hate.

Beyond that, I think it is clear that there is a massive physical disparity between men and women (which was the situation we are specifically talking about) that leads to male abuse of women being far more severe than female abuse of men. Add on the systemic element of patriarchy and I think it’s not comparable.

What you mentioned about violence tracks for both men and women. Women are more likely to bear violence on other women and men are more likely to bear violence on other men. In the context of Intrasex violence, Men are more likely to commit violence against women.

There you go with the men are more physically dangerous or severe bit again though. It's as if you think women haven't learned how to wield weapons or tools and aren't smart or deranged enough depending on the situation to reach for them. I think it's nonsense, and absurd. and your lack of ability to see that women can be violent crazed deranged abusers because of "patriarchy" is..well. nevermind i have nothing more to say to you because my lived experience trumps your nonsense theory.

Don't bother, all these social media have converted to the "gender religion".
