        @sapinker Why? Because for whatever reason, & it must be profound,their hatred towards men is more important to them than stopping violence.

        @sapinker In this case Sommers is correct, but surely it is having a specific ideology that causes bias, and she herself is not immune

        @sapinker is there more or less male v male compared to male v female violence? All violence bad. Maybe we shd have less men?

        @sapinker because those that do it get to signal high social status, get funding, are actually crazy, etc.
