Your view of relationships is "will vote for sex"?

What does my comment have to do with me?

i just say what normally happens, and is happening to some degree in certain parts of the left. They often overly generally blame "men" for everything, forgetting that they also are victims in the same system. And that everyone should work together to continuously improve the system.

The leftist critique should always be directed to how to improve the system for everyone, not directed against certain individuals or groups. If they put blame onto certain groups of people, they are right-wing. Because this is how the right thinks. Individuals or groups of people are always at fault for the right.

Nobody is born evil, we need to understand why people do certain things we do not like them to do. For instance people are conservative, often because they are afraid of things. Maybe men currently might struggle to find their place in the modern world, then left needs to acknowledge that and try to improve the system, so that they do not need to have that fear anymore. Sure, maybe other injustices in the system are more important, but do not complain if affected people become upset, and do not behave like you wanted them to.

You know, critiquing and improving the system.

If the goal here is to punish "men" until they behave, this will just cause them to be more angry at the perceived injustice and move more to the right.
