:::spoiler Important clarification/FAQ I 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:

• Detailed summary of the situation if you're wondering what's going on
• The rhetorical value of the bear hypothetical and what this means for you
• One example of why the long-term rhetorical value of the hypothetical is poor, in the context of intersectionality
• What does disenfranchisement mean in this context?
• The importance of not asking women to tone down their expressions of fear and frustration
• "But why can't they just say it nicely?"
• The importance of participation in kindness toward young men, specifically outside the context of people speaking their experiences
