I deal with it with grace, understanding, and compassion. I'm gay, but as a white cis man I still have obscene amounts of privilege. I feel a bit like a double agent. I'm a minority, but as I move through the world I am afforded all of the privilege that patriarchy can offer. And I can say with full confidence, the misandry I encounter pales in comparison to the homophobia I encounter. This goes for online as well as irl. And "pales in comparison" is inadequate. It's so not even on the same playing field. They are not even comparable. I get it. It's rougher to be a straight man than it's ever been. I routinely get "mistreated" because I'm a bearded white guy who looks like Steve from Minnesota. But having a woman be less polite to me now and then is nowhere near what I go through as a queer. Especially growing up. I used to pray every night for god to kill me. Because I am queer. Not because I am a man. And I've tried to explain this to my brothers, and they don't get it and can't help but feel like the victim in all of this. And I bet you will align with them. But hopefully someone reading this will hear it. Yes, you are struggling. But fucking cope. Cope. Sharpen your coping skills. Because you have still been spared in a way you can't even comprehend.

And no personal ethics at all. I dont think they even know what ethics are to begin with.

He's such a snowflake that all personal contact info has been removed from his website. Even his office has no contact info. Holy fuck they are such goddamn weenies. It's despicable and absurdly hilarious all at the same time.

A more cynical way I've seen this put: we've made it too easy for stupid people to survive.

This pisses me off. The amount of hubris is appalling. They told you weather was on its way but it didn't look like it so you went anyways? So you trust your eyes that can only see a fraction of the sky more than weather satellites? Fuck off. Poor girl. Reared by a moron.

You sound like you're 14.

Do you all remember how quickly they backed down as soon as ashley babbit was shot? (yes I know I spelled it wrong, I don't care to honor that piece of trash). A whole crowd of these fuckers. and presumably the most rabid of them, their infantry if you will. These are the cultists who spent money, time, and energy to be there. So they are also the ones with means. Also, presumably a bunch of them were carrying concealed weapons. Then one person gets shot and the entire thing crumbles. Cowards. Through and through cowards. And they think they can win a war?
