Important clarification/FAQI am not calling to coddle or excuse the behavior of bigoted men in any way!

I am calling to be kind and understanding to young men (often ages 10-20) who are very manipulable and succeptible to the massive anti feminist propaganda machine. Hope this clarifies that very important distinction. :)

Very good comments that express key points:

Are you trying to equivalence

Nope. Glad we've cleared that up.

do you feel like a woman you’ve never met saying she’d rather be around a bear than you is somehow making you a victim?

Yes. It's sexism. Sexism (like racism, antisemitism, etc) victimizes all the people who are subject to it.
