If you make a joke about the inadequacy of men, you’re a bold and insightful person. If you make a joke about the inadequacy of women, you’re a misogynistic pig.

I agree to some degree, but there's also the fact that the socialization of men is the more dire problem in our current society by a significant degree.

Also, remember gents, you should be ok with automatically being considered a threat, because everyone knows men only think about one thing

That's not why women often consider men a threat.

I think this is an agree to disagree point - my view is that the need to socialise men is only half the solution, and that tackling the rampant socially acceptable iniquity would be a more urgent one (as the longer it goes on, the more disruptive the eventual correction).

Maybe we should try both, surely one dies not preclude the other? That way we'll be sure to fix the issue!

But joking about and insulting them isn't going to make anything better, it's going to drive more impressionable young boys towards people like Tate.
