It still gets down to what's actually being said vs what feelings get triggered.

Lot of men claim all women bash men and say they're evil. When you ask them for sources, they don't have any.

Lot of that has been said about the "you have to treat men like a loaded gun" conversation, which I agree with, only I usually go with rattlesnake.

Rattlesnakes aren't evil. Guns aren't evil. It's a false equivocation coming from butt hurt men, particularly from the manosphere. What they are is potentially dangerous. Potentially harmful. And so, until that you've confirmed that gun is unloaded, safety on, or firing pin removed you treat it like like it's loaded and ready to fire. Until you have verified by observation what that snake actually is, you assume it might be a rattlesnake.

I like the rattlesnake analogy much better for what should be very obvious reasons but for some obscure reason it seems to inflame a lot of men.

I've also been very clear that men should do the same toward women. Your perception that we aren't dangerous is a false one. We are dangerous, just in generally different ways, and you should conduct yourselves accordingly until you've made an appropriate assessment.

Like I said, of late conservatives, particularly conservative women have earned some scorn. That doesn't make them evil and it doesn't mean conservativism in and of itself is bad. Most people are both conservative about some things and liberal about others. For example, financially conservative and socially liberal seems to be fairly popular.

Also true that pointing out a current particular political hypocrisy that has become The thing that's making Conservatives a laughing stick within the political sphere doesn't make conservatives evil. It means they need to get their heads out of their ass on a few things and stop blindly repeating clear bullshit on social media as it filters down through politics.
