You're clearly wrong here. Men do become the targets of massive campaigns of hate.

Not as often as women, but that wasn't the claim being made.

[tedunangst]

The claim being made is that men are not targets of SIMILAR campaigns, as in selected for the sin of being a man.

Which is also complete bullshit - they are and by certain and predictable demographics. There's even a new term thrown at them: mansplaining.

And yes, some authors have been "selected for the sin of being a man".

The idea that men being accused of "mansplaining"† is meant to equate to organized harassment campaigns against women pretty much sums this whole issue up.

Thank you. If I had myself suggested people believed that, I'd be accused of caricaturing. But we'd both know: I wouldn't have been.

† (or "patronizing", a word that means literally the exact same thing and has somehow been used for centuries without mortally injuring our manly feels)

No and that isn't what I said. That was in reference to a certain demographic of people that do target men specifically because they are men and men are equivalent to being the devil, since their beliefs are borderline a religion to begin with I feel fine in making that equivalence.
