    If people don’t notice how much more society hates women for doing the same things men get away with everyday, they simply haven’t been paying attention.

    If they’re only just now having it pointed out to them, after participating in the latest hate campaign, they’re motivated not to understand because they don’t want to recognise their own behaviour as misogynistic.

    Talking about how they “hate both” might be true for any one person, but that doesn’t change the wider trend.

      …do you think men don’t get shit for flying in private jets? They absolutely do.

      Even in this very example, Elon got criticised for it a lot back when he was threatening legal action towards people tracking his flights. F1 drivers get roundly criticised for private jets. In UK news, Rishi Sunak has been getting criticised for using private jets. Etc.

      Men and women get treated differently for many things, though, yeah. Sometimes this is more to the detriment of women, sometimes it is more to the detriment of men. It’s a fair bit more complicated than you make out.

      You don’t need to turn this into a culture war thing.
