i worry i'm becoming an extremist : r/FeminismUncensored

hi all. sorry if this isn't the right place for this, but i'm looking for some support, advice and/or words of encouragement. this will be very vulnerable but potentially insensitive. i really appreciate you reading.

i'm 22 and an american from california. politically i lean very far left. i've been to womens marches, protests of all kinds, and am very active in my local political circle and in political spheres online. i'm typically a very empathetic person, and i feel a lot for other people. i cry easily and my family and friends say i'm very compassionate.

for the last few months i've found myself with a much more negative outlook on men in general, almost bordering on misandry. this has become especially prevalent since the presidential election; i just feel like i don't care anymore, about men or their feelings. i'm becoming straight-up mean to men i don't know, online and irl.

this started in april when i was followed by a strange man for the first time in a train station. i'm living in germany at the moment and it has happened two more times since then, but my reaction to it has become much more unwieldy and violent. i've started yelling at these men, and threatening them with violence. this has translated into my behaviors towards men who aren't even doing anything wrong– like sitting next to me on the bus– as well as online.

i've cut off the people i know who have voted for trump but of course there's still lots of discourse online. i'm tired of hearing "your body my choice," i'm tired of hearing men complain about being lonely when it's their own fault. i'm over it.

my boyfriend is german and trans, so obviously also a minority and i don't blame him at all. but i worry i'm becoming callous and cruel and that it will impact relationships i don't want to crumble. i'm moving back to america next month and i'm worried it will get worse there. if anyone has any advice i'd love to hear it.

All I'll add is that misandry doesn't exist. That's like someone saying that they're heterophobic. And yours and every woman's feelings are normal and valid and oftentimes even underplayed given how much men truly hate us

you cant hate men enough, sweatheart

We don't hate you. We hate you validating all women's feelings while ignoring all men's while thinking that's not misandry. (I voted for Harris)

Oh, those poor men. Living in a society THEY created and which favors them in just about every. single. aspect. Where your biggest fear when going on a date is if the woman looks like her photos. Where you can go home late at night without having to wonder if you'll reach it alive.

Tell me more about how we should feel bad for you. And why the frick you're even thinking that this forum's a space where you being here is acceptable in the first place.

this woman is fat and single i guarantee it

I'll suggest that you stop using social media as you aren't capable to moderate your own emotions and instead is fueling anger.
