So, did you bring this up as a problem where a solution should occur, or just asking to feel sorry for them? To the person experiencing violence, sure, we could recommend therapy, or be empathetic, but if we do nothing to address the root cause it won't stop it at best,and at worst we start victim blaming.
This post is more about the cause not wanting to understand they're the issue, and you brought in another issue caused by the same toxic masculinity, then got defensive when that was pointed out.
To want empathy for your problems is natural. If you just want empathy and not a solution, there is a time and place for that too. However what you are doing here is either trying to derail the conversation, or making it about something that wasn't the original convo(usually done by someone making it about themselves, but I don't know you enough to make that specific of an accusation).
If you want to fight for mens rights and proper treatment, that's wonderful. However doing it by attacking/derailing women complaining about the same issues is not. It's closer to when women's suffrage movement wanted only freedom for white women.
