Men don't like to be judged for how other men are, even if they're guilty of the same things. I think it's this kind of "god I hate men" mentality feminism is unfortunately associated with which they react to and causes them to close their ears to the feminist Good News.

If somebody came to you with "god I hate women," would you really want to keep listening as they go on to talk about how women should talk less when men are around? Me neither. And yet, getting men to stop talking over women is an important goal, but it's a hard pill for them to swallow. If you want to convince men to be better, speak their language.

I would hope they are thinking more about how more men than women are murdered, if they are thinking at all about the subject. There are of course differences between VaW and VaM on a societal scale.

Don't know a lot of woman incels these days (though I'm aware the community was founded by a woman). Curious about what lead you to inceldom.

I've never encountered an Iranian refugee before, just normal expats.

Crazy. Iran has some really good researchers, at least, I've been consistently impressed by Iranian academics abroad.

I don't really agree that it's close to all men who let misogynistic behaviour slide. My point is that it's enough bad men (where "bad" includes "letting that behaviour slide") that it's still a problem for women.

right, but you can only tell what's used as a verb after you've parsed it.

They accidentally included 8 verbs. (tax, filing, is, trying, kill, got, open, sourced)

This doesn't happen to me much, but it happens to other women I know. I have a lot of male friends and I've talked to them over the years about their perspective on feminism, and what makes them say things critical of feminism. A lot of it comes down to a misunderstandings -- take for instance the conflation between patriarchy (of a system) and sexism (of an individual). Or "#notallmen" -- as women we don't really care that it's #notallmen, the fact of the matter is that because it's enough men, it's #yesallwomen; whereas to men this sounds like an accusation.

Of course, there's some things that aren't about miscommunications and are just philosophical differences. Expressing support for affirmative action, for instance, is likely to get one in hot water, no matter how politely you phrase it.

Even though the officer who issued the countercommand reiterated that the men were carrying a white flag, the deputy commander again requested that they be targeted with a drone. The order was, however, not carried out, the report noted.

The officer who issued the countercommand was deemed “a coward” by his commanding officers.

fucked up.
