Okay. I can see we need another lesson on how language works.

You said, "People often hate people who have mistreated or harmed them. I get it, blah blah blah"

I highlighted the "people who have mistreated or harmed them" part and made a comment
about that.

See, when someone takes the time to reference a particular statement or thought to reply to, their comment about it is ONLY about that referenced part. That's why the platform gives us tools to pull out those little bits. So we can focus on them, and them alone and share our thoughts.

My point being that it's natural across all living things to seek ways to protect the self from harm, all the way down to protids. That's not hate. You can check the dictionary. That's dislike of being harmed and being naturally predisposed to be wary of and distrust anything that harms you.

It really should not be a great leap of logic to know that being hurt is not a pleasant or positive experience.

We call it pain for a reason. We all seek to avoid pain for a reason.

If that were not the case, we'd all be running around lining up to put our hands on hot stoves or to buy tickets to get our asses kicked or whatever.

Nobody likes being harmed.

Nobody.

The P-E-O-P-L-E word YOU wrote in YOUR statement made this about people. Not men. Not even #NotAllMen. Not men at all.

P-E-O-P-L-E made it about all humans. All Homo sapiens. Because 'people' includes all of us.

And then you jump tracks and falsely claim that I said I hate men and all that other bullshit you said.

Are you suggesting that women and children are not people, sir?

Are you suggesting that sexual assaults don't cause pain and harm?

Or, perhaps it's maybe not enough to warrant some automatic distrust of the main perpetrators of sexual assaults because they might feel hated?

Priorities, amirite?

All you've done here is prove that you're not here in good faith.

You're here to assuage your ego. And fuck everyone else.

Everything is ultimately all about you. Nobody else even registers as a person.

Got it.

And for the record, I have not enjoyed this conversation. I dislike being dehumanized and used and purposefully misrepresented.

I get that a lot from certain types of folks. And no, it does not give me warm fuzzies about those types. It makes me cautious.
