"You’ve introduced nothing new or even thought provoking."

It seems to be stuff you haven't thought of, though.

"(Although, I will look up the Mathew reference.)"

Golden Rule and "turn the other cheek."

"When people use pro-feminist arguments , it is very easy to predict their positions on a range of topics, even before they speak. That’s the danger of supporting an ideology."

Tell me something I got wrong.

"Many young women blindly support this stuff in 2024, without any of the guard rails their parents had when they faught for bodily autonomy. For example, I have met women who have slept with over 100 men before they are even 20. I’m not okay with that. If you think that is okay, we have nothing in common and should stop this discussion."

1) The number of women with that many partners is minuscule. Go look up the averages.

2) Some women had too many partners before feminism.

3) Traditionally, sexual promiscuity has been the domain of men by miles and miles. Does that bother you as well?

"I apologize for the aggressive nature of my comments, if you were insulted by them."

Not insulted, since none of it applied to me personally. But being a douche is a bad way to start conversations.

"I am unapologetic regarding my views on feminism. It took 20 years of attacks on my education, career and family life to get to where I am today."

So do the legions of women who've been done wrong by men have a right to call you Satanic as well? In general, women have been treated worse by men than the reverse.

"And if it is happening to me, it is happening to other men.You don’t know me and you don’t know the extent to which feminism has impacted me personally.I’ll leave it at that."

True. But the plural of anecdote isn't data. For every man who's suffered at the hands of women, you could find at least one woman and maybe 10 who've been mistreated by men. In a country of 330 million people, a few personal stories do not a trend make. Rather than explain, here's a story link that lays it out: https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/social-media-is-bullshit-everybody-loves-a-personal-story-but-they-dont-mean-a-damn-thing-013df1d77fa5
