Ah, a spew of right-wing ideological talking points without the slightest bit of data. How surprising to find this in a discussion relating to feminism! I am perfectly ok with people who spout stuff like this claiming I'm ridiculous, so you just keep going, bub.

Why would I cite data when you didn't? What data can even be cited to refute totally subjective statements like the ones in this thread?

If you want points with data look at the usual suspects: percentage of men in prison, ratios of men/women in higher education, or the one this thread is about (women more likely to be elected in ....).

Yeah, I thought you couldn't cite any data for your claims. Nice work adding in some whataboutism to distract, though.

Huh? This feels like a response from a chatbot. I just did cite several data points. This whole thread is about a specific data point that backs up the claim that society is overall hostile to men.
