12. I just assume it's a derailing tactic.

Unless the derailer can point to discussions they've started in the effort to raise awareness of how harmful and unnecessary it is... well, there's your answer.

It's really frustrating how many men seem to think feminists are being mean by not taking up arms in whatever issue they've picked to care about. As if fighting gender norms is being mean to men and not caring about boys and men. Women started working on domestic violence and instead of doing the same, many men whine that women haven't done enough for male victims. What's stopping them from getting involved themselves? Makes me wonder if they weren't raised in a patriarchal household in which any time they whined, mommy came and fixed it.
