Last month, I wrote this provocative little number about male “feminists”. Basically, my article centered on a series of questions, prompting men to do some introspection as to why they call themselves feminists.

After writing that article, and (mistakenly?) reading the pissed-off responses on various social media outlets, I learned a valuable lesson: women should never question men, ever. Even though the vast majority of all violent crime in the world is committed by men. Oh, and don’t forget that all the most destructive industries in the world — e.g., industrial agriculture, necrotechnocracy, sex trafficking, the military industrial complex, etc. etc. .… are dominated and directed by men.

Women are expected to politely ignore that fact, that very-verifiable and universally consistent fact, because men don’t like being reminded of the fact that their sex class is demonstrably, undeniably, indisputably, globally and historically more violent than ours. They do this shit, or they passively watch other men do this shit, and then they have the nerve to get offended when women are suspicious of them.

The nerve!

So what happens when you state this obvious fact, this reality, this truth, that males as a social class are more violent than females at grossly disproportionate rates, worldwide, regardless of race, religion or class? Men do what they’ve been conditioned to do when someone says something they don’t want to hear: get angry. Boy, do they know how to get angry! It’s like scripted or something. Every damn time a woman tries to talk about male-pattern violence, even when she’s polite as pie, here come teh menz in droves to shut her up with sandwich jokes and suck-my-dick’s and you-fucking-cunt’s and I’m-gonna-kill-you-in-your-sleep’s. Sadly, most women cave to this. Because, yeah, male anger is terrifying. Try to talk about male violence, and males will inevitably shut down the conversation with… more male violence. #LOLgic

If I cared at all about what men think of what I’m saying, I’d probably be following-up on that last paragraph with a reassuring “I DIDN’T SAY ALL MEN ARE VIOLENT! I SAID MOST VIOLENCE IS PERPETRATED BY MEN! SO IF YOU’RE NOT VIOLENT YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT :) THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU :) :) :) sopleasedon’tkillmeplease”

But fuck that, I won’t say that, because I don’t care. Go ahead, get mad. If you’re the type of dude who can’t handle it when some barely-known writer on Medium (hi) states this fact, that violence is generally a male phenomenon, then you’re exactly the kind of dude I won’t waste my time on. Reality is not up for debate, sorry. And no amount of asking if I’m on my period, joking that I must also be “suspicious of potted plants,” or labeling me a “dick-hater” is going to alter that reality, or even make me stop writing about it. That political gaslighting shit might work on other people, but this face stopped working on me years ago:
