This. It’s so incredibly immature and frankly really shitty to simplify it as “hating women”. Some people just have bad luck when it comes to dating despite their best efforts, and this sort of stuff really trivializes that and tries to put blame on them even if it’s not their fault. Not cool.
It reeks of a lack of life experience, either by young age or isolation from the world. I can’t disparage the author because I do feel what they’re feeling because this is a cause of loneliness, but at the same time, bad things do happen to good people. People suck. It happens every day. Sure, there are contributing factors, but it’s a gross oversimplification focused more on blame than solutions.
It’s similar (but not identical) to the argument that homeless people must have done something to earn their homelessness. Some do, and most could have made better choices, but that’s true for everyone. Anybody can end up in a bad situation simply because of bad luck. I’ve been around long enough to see this lesson repeated.
TLDR: there’s all kinds of creatures in this world. I’d be careful about making assumptions.
It’s easier to construct a strawman and attack that so you appear cynical and smart than to have empathy and risk someone else getting the misandrist upvotes
I don’t hate women and I don’t view them as something I’m entitled to? I’m genuinely super protective of all the women I’m friends with in my life because I know how shitty other guys can be. You’re literally proving the entire point of my argument?

Have you tried actually listening to people and trying to understand what they’re saying?
Of course not.

Why are you making this a personal issue? The author was completely impersonal.
