I've always heard arguments like "Men should pay for dates because women already suffer enough, and besides, you men created the patriarchy," or "Not all men, but always men," and similar ones. I try to refute them, but I always end up hearing "Males defending other males."

In my most recent debate, I pointed out that men die at high rates, yet society makes no significant efforts to address this, while any violence against a woman is instantly labeled as misogyny. She responded with "Because it's other men killing men." I argued that men are not some homogeneous, coordinated mass. I also mentioned how women often have a higher chance of avoiding prison, receiving less media attention, and getting lighter sentences.

Then came the classic argument: "If there were no men, there would be no problems in the world and nothing to fear." I asked if she genuinely believed that women were incapable of committing crimes or doing anything bad. She simply shrugged and said, "Yes."

I stood there for a few seconds, blinking in disbelief. She genuinely believed that women are incapable of committing crimes or any form of wrongdoing.

I've probably mentioned before that she's a feminist, and just as I expect from others, I won't generalize. That said, I'm still in shock and disbelief at her mindset.

Dude, I'm the one labeled as a misogynist for taking a neutral stance on gender when it comes to crime and violence. It's kind of surreal hearing "women are incapable of being bad" in 2025, coming from a feminist, while I'm the one pointing out how sexist that is
