You didn't say that. There is a difference between assuming someone is a bad person and making exceptions if they prove you wrong, vs noting who is a bad person and treating them accordingly. This difference in default assumptions is the basis of prejudice.
I didn't? Wait, let me check a second...
There it is. Do you find it that hard to treat others with respect?
The fact that you are all trying to fight me over this as if I was asking the impossible to not hate men is the fucking reason why women pick the damn bear in the forest dilemma.
You are angry because a rando on the internet told you that if you don't want women to hate you, you need to treat them as a decent human being. That's all.
This is embarrassing.
I am not angry. I am slightly frustrated that this exact conversation keeps happening and that you are choosing to levy mild accusations at me but I feel no personal stake in this because we do not know each other.
Anyways, what I said was that you are making the default assumption that a man is bad, and then allowing good men to be exceptions to this rule. The quote you provided agrees with that. This is not the same thing as the causal relationship in your later statement that "if a man is a POS towards women, he’s going to be hated", where you do not assume someone is a bad person by default. I think assuming someone is a bad person by default is a bad practice because it leads one to treat other people badly if they are not familiar with them.
I think it's clear now that she is not yet in a place for personal growth and the emotions are still too raw. Unfortunately there's no way to proceed further without a level of fundamental trust that has been poisoned.
I appreciate your effort regardless. Kindness really is punk.
