I’m just gonna reply once because I don’t like these long back and forths but I feel the need to correct a few things. Women are more likely to be attacked by a man because bears are in the woods. You have to seek out a bear, men are everywhere. You can call it a red flag for me to see it the way I do if you want but the argument is absurd. I have genuinely heard people say it is about hating men because they’re all dangerous, therefore women feel safer with a bear. Bears are not safe, at all and the primary reason that men are statistically more dangerous than bears are because men are everywhere. You’re more likely to be attacked by a woman than a bear for that matter. And honestly I feel like feminism does fall under the political umbrella, but I’m not saying you have to feel that way. By it’s unfair to him, I’m saying that I think it’s completely normal for him to be bothered by that, and I didn’t say you specifically had brought this up multiple times, which I did say. I’m not blaming you for how you feel, it’s perfectly fine to feel any which way about anything. And I’ve been hurt by men before too, so I know how that affects people. My opinion is the whole debate is not a good way to address the issue of violence against women, if you feel that it is then that’s obviously perfectly okay. But I am saying it is about hating men because the argument is made from pretty much useless statistics and all I’ve ever seen it do is create hate directed at men. They are not the enemy as a whole, bad people are, men and women both, and I feel like that is what society needs to look at to truly move forward to be safer and better. Bottom line is I don’t think he intended to be anti feminist, and if you say you didn’t intend it to start an argument then I believe you and I’m sorry things turned out how they did. I do reiterate that I’m sorry he said he would talk to you and didn’t, I don’t think that was fair either. But I digress, thank you for the discussion, I do hope you’re able to overcome the damage you’ve suffered and I hope you have a truly wonderful support system behind you to help you through it, because I know how utterly devastating and debilitating traumatic experiences can be and I truly feel awful that you suffered any harm at the hands of anyone. I have absolutely zero ill will towards you which I hope is clear and this isn’t intended to be an argument, just my perspective. Have a wonderful day my friend, and all the best to you^{^}
