There are lots of things I “hate” that take nothing from me. Love Island for example. I don’t watch it, never have, but occasionally catch an advert for it or shows like it. At which point my blood boils and I usually have to hit the mute button while I mock the 2.3 seconds of the voice I just heard out loud until the ceremony has concluded. I immediately forget the whole event once my program comes on.
Doesn’t mean I’m trying to hold some special power over Love Island (except for the mute button). Also doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge the seriousness of the discussion around feminism. Just means that some men want to ‘hate’ the things they don’t care for. Not wanting to join a debate doesn’t mean you don’t care for the topic just might mean you’d rather put your energy elsewhere.
This hits like a false dichotomy.
