Hating men for no reason won't solve your personal problems

I was really expecting to be accused of misogyny, actually.  I’m trying to calculate how many levels of misdirection this ask is on.

Maybe it’s about this post?

They can’t undo Toxic Masculinity, because they don’t understand Masculinity, and they don’t want to.

…because that would mean understanding things about themselves that they don’t want to understand, either.

In which the “they” is actually Mainstream Feminists.

Patterns of male behavior are in part driven by what straight women like/don’t like, or more accurately who they treat as hot/not hot, who they date/don’t date, etc.

Undoing what the Mainstream Feminists call “toxic masculinity” would mean that straight women, on average, would have to change, which would mean they’d have to first understand how cishet female preferences shape the very male power/dominance/status hierarchies they ostensibly oppose.

However, Feminism does poorly at attributing agency and power to women (beyond some of the “rah rah, girl power” stuff), as it’s more politically useful to present as the unpowered underdog.
