You don't support people saying "men are trash" but you think it's justified because of the actions of men from the past. It's ok to punish young men of today for the sins of their ancestors; this seems to be the general attitude of feminists. This idea that "women are dealing with so much they can't help but lash out" is a huge cop out. Young women don't have these extraordinarily hard lives as you're making out, certainly not more so than young men. And there's no excuse for misandrist language.

Of course there are women who throw better than I do, but that doesn't negate the fact that on average they don't. All I had to do was look around the school playground when I was 11 years old to realise this was true.

Can we accept that there are some things that, on average, men are better at that women? Or is that blasphemy?

And to point out a another common feminist narrative, I'm not wandering around "trying to figure out what it means to be a man today". I know what it means to be a man, and not for a second have I been confused about it.

Yes, I blame feminism for things where it deserves blame. You can't equate this to me preferring to live a more sexist time. I don't want to subjugate women. We all benefit from having women's skills in the talent pool. It seems I'm not allowed to criticise feminism without the constant threat of being called out as a misogynist.

Feminism has genuine problems that should be addressed. That's why so many people have such a dislike for it and it's not because we're all secretly misogynists or suffering from a "patriarchal mindset" or something.

I do wish we could live in a world without dominance hierarchies, but I don't think it's possible. Since we moved to agricultural societies, we've been screwed in this regard and I don't see a way back.
