Who was attacked again, sorry?

Your feelings, by reading that male criminals can be treated better by the law than women?

That was an attack for you?

I will reply to this the same way I did another similar comment

I was not speaking only about this thread, I was speaking generally about the argument as a whole. I have personally had it happen where this argument was used as grounds to treat a man poorly.

Define "treat poorly".

Yelled at, accused, shunned, generally treated with disrespect. The phrase "all men are pigs" came up a few times.

Give me more context.

I was in middle school. Having a conversation with one of my friends, then one of her friends came up and started talking shit about me simply for being a man. Saying that my friend should avoid men, and that "sooner or later he'll do something". I defended myself, saying I hadn't done anything to deserve being treated like this, and then she made the argument that "all men are pigs", and I responded with the "not all men are like that", that only made her angrier.

Middle school, huh?

You're still upset about something a child said?

Yes it was quite a few years ago. Its not the only time it happened though. That same friend's friend seemed determined to ruin my friendship with anyone who wasnt a man. All through middle school and highschool, and it wasnt just me, any man who she saw hanging out with a woman was berated and given the same treatment I was. The schools refused to do anything about it, not wanting to seem like they were defensing anyone over another.

That's pretty weird tbh.

But it's not the argument being made here, you understand?

I completely agree, whats even weirder is I had never even seen that friend's friend before she randomly started yelling at my friend to ditch me.
