This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fair on that one!

Indeed, most feminists are not that. It's just that this particular flavor of it grew to be increasingly toxic, and any sort of approach to it (granted, OP went too far to go for generalizations themselves) is treated with forks.

Agreed. A lot of people really don't understand that there is a contigency of "feminists" that still stick to the man hater schtick. Though similarly, a lot of people (mostly guys like OP and the angry feminists too) need to understand that shitting on guys in general hasn't been the accepted norm for feminism in quite a few decades.

Also that pointing out toxic masculinity isn't a personal attack, though some people seem to enjoy phrasing their critiques as attacks... Not so helpful!
