"Feminism pushed men to the right"

The left's online rhetoric about men is often harsh, unfair, and overly critical. However, the right (especially on Reddit) isn't just critical of women-it's authoritarian. They are targeting things like no-fault divorce, abortion, birth control, suffrage (SAVE Act), etc. Women are vocalizing their contempt for men. Men are legislating their contempt for women. No amount of smack talking from feminists justifies that.

As he was convicted on several rape charges, the judge called Brock Turner "a promising young man". Many were upset by that, but, tbf, he was. No violent or criminal history (aside from some recreational drug use). Good student. Ivy Leaguer. Athlete. The perfect All-American boy. And he still raped a girl. Totally unplanned. He just happened upon her unconscious body and decided he could probably get away with assaulting her, so he did. I think there are many Brock Turners in the world. Men whose violent misogyny is restrained by lack of opportunity and a fear of consequences- not respect or empathy for women. Certainly not political correctness or feminism. Many men see our bodies and lives as a series of decisions for them to make, and are pissed that feminism told them they were wrong.

Misogyny has never needed to justify its existence. Before feminism, women had no access to credit, contraception, abortion, education, divorce, or financial independence. Marital rape, child marriage, and domestic abuse were legal and frequent. In the global south, this is still the case. No amount of compliance, submission, or subjugation has ever protected women because no amount of control, authority, or dominance has ever been enough for misogynistic men. "Feminism pushed men to the right" is just a variation of every abuser's ol' faithful: "Look what you made me do".
