Reaction to this "war"

I legitimately cannot write about this. So many thoughts and yet no thoughts at all come to mind. I hate sexism and this sense of aggression that exists on both sides. I’ve historically cried thinking about the disparities that exist between the genders, and really humans in many manners. Both articles suggest being moderate without saying so, but in the same time both are just too aggressive to be doing anything right. When facts are thrown out of the window, opinionated rhetoric comes in. In The War on Men there is an obvious use of “facts” trying to illustrate an opinion like the marriage polls or especially the “They want to provide for and protect their family – it’s in their DNA” quote. In reality this is all just a play on opinion. To me that doesn’t need to determine anything. In the same way Michael drops the “I thought of how painful it is when you are used to having everything to now have only 80%” with no real evidence behind it and no insight into what those men in the 80% or 20% think. The goal of these articles, whether they know it or not, is not to bring progress but rather just to stir things up on their side. At this point the only way things are going to be made so that everyone involved is happy is through softness, kindness, and mutual understanding. Often in sexism this doesn’t exist. Whether it is the feminists’ side that is too often somewhat brash, intimidating, and arrogantly intelligent or the anti-feminists’ side that is too often stupid, harsh, and misleading, there doesn’t seem to be room for understanding, cooperation, kindness, communication, or anything of the sort. Then again, I regard this idea/rule to be the reason any of the world’s changeable problems actually exist. And that’s exactly it. That’s all there is to say. I won’t voice my opinion and reaction simply because I wouldn’t know where to start. I wish I could write more, but I feel as if I couldn’t if I tried. There’s not even a point putting more than one quote per piece, even though I believe in doing more than the minimum, because even that would yield nothing more I could say without saying my own opinion.
