"But there is no equivalence because violence by women against men is isolated and not motivated by a systematic hatred established over centuries nor by being men in the same way as it is with violence against women."

Saw this utterly asinine post on Twitter/X earlier, and... ugh. I know I shouldn't let what an ignorant idiot like this posts on that platform which is an absolute lightning rod for morons like this and their ignorance, but it's still painful to think there's people this ignorant. People who'll do anything they can to downplay the fact violence is something both men and women commit against each other and how it's equally wrong either way, but of course trying to downplay when it happens to men. And what "systematic hatred?" Do idiots like this seriously believe it's somehow ingrained in societal systems that there's so much hate and hostility against women from men all over? Violence against men (by either men or women alike) is absolutely not an isolated incident and this is just another way misandrists downplay any type of VAM and try to make it not a big deal. Which is arguably worse than actually denying it happens.

I felt like venting and I'm sure many here feel similarly. It's frustrating and infuriating to think this idiocy and ignorance exists in equal measures and people try to pass this as factual.
