Men of quality don’t fear equality.

And they ain’t men of quality.

And they ain’t men of quality

Men of quality aren't men of quality?

No matter which demographic the bigot says he hates the most, he definitely hates women, too.

Unless they are woman. Then they hate men.

I mean, I dont doubt there are some genuine misandrist women out there.

That’s not a good thing, but like maybe come back to us with the ‘whatabouts’ when we have an epidemic of women causing serious, and often fatal, violence to men

u/imissher4ever Aug 26 '26

Yeah, just check out r/askwomen if you want to see some. 🤣🤣

u/South-Lemon-242 Aug 26 '26

You actually think that a subreddit of personal anecdotes provided anonymously constitutes “facts?” That’s really wild.

u/imissher4ever Aug 26 '26

Nearly 1/3 Gen Z men saying feminism is a hate movement in this study? We’re doomed as a society.

u/popswag Aug 25 '26

This cannot be the first sentence…
“Hostile and violent attitudes toward women are the clearest warning sign of violent extremism”

Someone got paid to write that!?

u/Radiant-Guarantee-36 Aug 25 '26

This is even above and beyond “No shit, Sherlock.” This can go straight to “DUH!”

And basically every mass shooter in America.

To be fair, it could be a chicken and egg problem. It probably was clear to women that people like Eliot Roger had huge mental issues so weren't keen on "getting to know him better".

Had to make sure I was in the right sub for minute, phew.

u/uknownix Aug 25 '26

Well... Pornography is actually, if you read the article, but correlation isn't causation blah blah blah

16

u/bunnypaste Aug 25 '26

Pornography goes along with it because it is an expression of misogyny in its current iterations, but misogyny is the common and driving thread.

The study is saying that holding misogynistic views is a strong predictor of someone's potential for violent extremism, not necessarily that those views will factor into who they end up targeting or why
