Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

To put it bluntly: It’s not women’s job to fix men

Is that so? Surely you expect men to help with the goals of feminism, no?

Imagine saying the same thing in reverse: unequal payment for women because they are not forceful enough to push for more? Sad but what can you do - it's not men's job to fix women after all.

If people really think that, then screw this 'f* you, I got mine ' version of feminism and push for a better life for everyone. This is such a shortsighted way to live and not even try to look beyond your own horizon.

Ok fine. I can concede the point that women should help.

But it is not women’s fault that men are lonely. It’s definitely not feminisms fault.
