A woman on YouTube explained why there's a double standard when it comes to people viewing female predators as less dangerous/evil/bad/wrong than male predators. And that reason is hatred towards women (misogyny). This is her argument:
"If women are seen as not having agency then it's a logical impossibility for them to also be recognised as capable of abuse... Objects don't abuse subjects"
She's basically saying our patriarchal society sees women as lesser (as objects) and less capable than men which is sexist against women. That's why society sees women as less capable of being a predator. So female predators are also seen as less dangerous. It all stems from misogyny.
But that's bs. Because female predators getting a pass and less ridicule (less accountability) for doing the same a man does is misandry because the disaffected group is men. It's an unfair bias against men. Women get away with it. Women have an advantage, a privelege. Men suffer, get more punishment/ridicule and are held more accountable.
But here's the thing: That's not a valid argument since she can just say "Well yes women are being held less accountable because of misogyny. Because society thinks lesser of women thus they have a lesser agency to be held accountable".
So what counter arguments are there which speak against this? Or is women getting away with things hatred against women?
