    You’re proving my point to a T by attacking a strawman and implying these men should die. Nobody is owed romance, but you shouldn’t be surprised that young men are becoming more right-wing when you say stuff like this.

      LMAO!

      Not being a mysogonystic asshole will kill some men?

      Your fragility is showing. Is this the “personal responsibility” reactionaries are always crowing about?

        That’s a leap of logic. Accusing you of inciting violence against them isn’t. “Reactionaries” is a label that has historically been used to justify persecuting and killing people. Right-wing people who hear that either don’t know what it means or they know what the implications are.

        If you want to change young men’s minds, why don’t you try convincing them with the logic they claim to love? Insulting them has obviously not worked. If your arguments are sound and you behave respectfully (like you aren’t doing now), you’ll probably have better luck in changing their minds. One of the most common things people cite when they say why they’ve joined the Republicans is attitudes like yours.

        But, if you want to keep projecting your insecurities on other people, I guess I can’t stop you.

          What would help men is to keep them from being reactionary dickheads: something you want to happen.

          So I don’t think I’ll be taking advice from you, thanks!

            I dunno how you expect to make them not “reactionary dickheads” when you’ve proven my point at least three times over the course of this conversation. If you’d like to keep doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results, I strongly suspect you’ll fail. It certainly hasn’t worked for the last nine years.

              You have no way of knowing, but it’s sidesplittingly funny for a man who is extremely vocal about restricting the rights of women to make their own informed healthcare decisions to then cry about how I’m being mean to men who do that.

              Please continue, because it’s hilarious every time.

                First, how is killing innocent people for no reason was a right anyone has, much less a healthcare decision? It’s not misogynist to suggest that’s not true - a man pressuring a woman into an abortion or kicking her in the stomach is wrong, too. Second, when had repaying hatred for hatred ever worked? If you want to prove me wrong, then you could provide evidence that insulting people with labels like “reactionary dickhead” is an effective political strategy. It doesn’t sound like JD Vance’s “childless cat ladies” comment has convinced you to become Republican, so why would the inverse be true?

                The fact that you’ve simply proven my point four times rather than attempt to disprove it is pretty weird.

                    I’m not sure what you mean, but I hope realizing you’ve proven my point for the sixth time will be some food for thought. In the meantime, have a good week.
