This always annoys me and is the crux of the problem.

Feminists, posing themselves as strong independent women who need to teach young women/girls, talk so much crap about how men think.

We created the patriarchy for ourselves. We see them as sex objects. We are intimidated by confident women.

Even when they meet men and we’re perfectly pleasant they assume it’s all a ruse and we’re hiding secret desires.

Why do they think they know how us men think?

How are they so arrogant?

Why don’t they ask us?

Why do men not correct them?

Even some men do it “don’t mess around with boys, they only want one thing”.

No we fucking don’t.

One example-I asked r/askwomen about why women don’t wear dresses more. Innocent question. Just wondered why. They all took it the wrong way and it got removed. Because I’m a man controlling women’s bodies or whatever. Men see women as objects to look good. No-I was just curious why you would choose uncomfy jeans over a dress that doesn’t touch your legs. It has consequences all this rubbish.

This is a crux of the issue. Do they actually believe the crap they talk or is it deliberate smears?
