https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Misandry

This Rationalwiki article claims that women are cowards who have to express misandry when around men, because they find men “terrifying” due to them being physically stronger than them on average.

This doesn’t make sense for a variety of reasons. Are people with physical disabilities terrified of able-bodied people? Also, why do you need reassurance that someone isn’t going to subdue you by being sexist towards them? Why would you need reassurance at all? Also, if you feel the need to be a jerk or be a bully, why is it essential you do it in a discriminatory way? You could go for another type of personal attack. Also, insulting someone or saying hateful or discriminatory things is likely to make them annoyed, anxious, upset, attacked, or downright angry. If someone is inclined to physically assault or subdue another person, offending them will usually make them more likely to act. Also, the strength difference isn’t always the case (there are many women who can lift heavier weights and run faster than many men), and even so, people at times slightly exaggerate the strength difference.

I absolutely loathe Rationalwiki. It is a misandry and feminism cesspool, and is just an echochamber for the most part. It certainly isn’t “rational” or “skeptical.” I’m sorry I used a Rationalwiki article as a source in one of my posts.

The funny thing about this argument is that it is appealing to benevolent sexism (against women). Part of benevolent sexism (against women) is treating women as weak, needing special protection, and being cowardly.

This article also shows that feminists love to appeal to alleged gender/sex differences to justify discrimination and mistreatment of men.
