If that were true, poverty wouldn't exist.

This is gender essentialism.

Men shouldn't be demonized. They shouldn't be made to feel unwelcome in spaces.

First, it's often bioessentialism, and that sucks.

Second, it makes trans men and mascs feel unwelcome even if you say cis men because you're still saying there's something wrong with being a man.

Third, you're ignoring interseccionalities and propagating harmful stereotypes that mostly hurt marginalized men, such as black men who are more likely to get deemed violent than white men.

Fourth, there are cis men, even straight, white, perisex, cis men, who are nice people, and they deserve basic respect and not to be told you get angry at them for breathing.

And there's probably more reasons that I'm not thinking of off the top of my head.

Hating someone for something they are and can't change is never cool. Stop it.

And I keep seeing them used as reactions to each other. You get away from one and fall into the other.

"hey, before you interact, tell me what category of humans you think are inherently evil and disgusting and that we should exterminate to live all peacefully and safely? :)" <- this is how it sounds.

Is it wrong for me to feel like this phrase is kinda… icky? Cause it feels like it’s doing that “men are always hornier than women” thing in addition to framing women as perpetual victims and men as perpetual aggressors. Plus, what kind of man/men and woman/women are we talking about? How do you think a Black man would feel in a room full of white women? A male rape/sexual assault victim whose perpetrators were women in a room full of women? What if the man is aroace?

This is toxic masculinity, andro-amatonormativity, and heteronormativity.

First of all, not all women are terrified in a room full of men. Not all women have androphobia (the psychiatric phobia of men), and also, this ignores factors like "Are the men strangers? Does the woman have social anxiety or trauma? How many men are there? What is the vibe of the men? Are there any racial, class, or disability disparities? Are all the men pericis, allo, monohet, monogamous, and just generally nonqueer?" and just stereotypes all the men as creeps.

Second of all, not all men are interested in women. Mono turians, diamoric men who aren't into women, and aspec men who aren't into women exist.

Third of all, even if a man is into women, that...doesn't mean they're into EVERY woman?? The room could be full of women they aren't interested in, or the man could be aroacespec (ie; demisexual) and need a deeper connection before experiencing such interest.

And fourth of all, men with gynephobia (the psychiatric phobia of women) exist. And nuances also exist, the questions come full circle, but in the other direction. "Are the women strangers? Does the man have social anxiety or trauma? How many women are there? What is the vibe of the women? Are there any racial, class, or disability disparities? Are all the women pericis, allo, monohet, monogamous, and just generally nonqueer?"

The influence of the Buried is unmistakable. Compulsion to dig, altered memory, losing track of key details during the act of digging. All clear signifiers of this particular Dread Power.
