    Pretty sure the bear thing is the reason why at least some young men voted like that. Generally hating on men seems so widely accepted to me that I don’t even blame anyone who decided to vote for Trump out of spite.

        If that’s how you choose to see it then sure. I don’t live in the US so I really couldn’t care less but if we had an election this important I probably wouldn’t antagonize people that could otherwise support my cause.

          no one antagonized anyone who wasn’t specifically the type of guy who would make women choose the bear.

          funnily enough the first time I heard about this was a woman asking her husband if he would rather have their daughter alone in the woods with a bear or a random man and he had some questions and thought about it a lot, but what didn’t happen was him saying man immediately. because even for normal men who have women in their lives, the risk men pose to women is tangible. but we have an increasingly incel minded male population so here we are.

      Bullshit. EVERY group gets “hated on.” It’s just that the Venn diagram of powerful rich assholes and men (especially white) has a massive overlap, and they use and abuse the power they have without hesitation nor consideration for anyone but themselves. They deserve to be hated upon (and this is coming from a white guy), while so many others they shift blame to don’t.

        I agree about the overlap but why generalize a whole group like this? Why needlessly antagonize people when something this important is happening?
