I don't read it that way. For me they argue that you should take a different view on wretched people and not blame their personality on their gender.
It's less that the statement is false. But more that the statement is being made at all.
It's like writing a post about how people are too quick to dismiss women as being overemotional, and someone commenting on it by saying
It's just bringing up a stereotype that acts as an excuse to deny men empathy, in the same way as mine does to dismiss women.
I don't disagree with the general message of "Judge people for who they are", but the way it's written is tone death at best.
Maybe the circle they're in is just pretty misandrist so it needs saying. But it just seems unnecessary to me.
I can totally understand your point. While trying to argue against it, i find myself agreeing even more to it.
Only one remark: As you say, the message is in any case not really appropriate for the preceding texts. However, i still think the statement can be interpreted in a constructive view and i try to give the benefit of doubt.
That's right. Judge someone not by the length of their dick , but by the content of their character.
But why even bring up wretched people at all.
Because they want to feel victimized and are using dead children to do so.
