View submission: Am I losing my mind??
To keep your sanity, remember this: Social media is not the real world. It rewards extremism and doesn't represent what people in the real world actually think. Most women I talk to in the real world are well aware of the duality of men: the struggles men face and the hazard that some men represent. No group of people is a monolith. All of them, including the one called "men" are a diverse set of individuals.
What helped me a lot is to stay clear of most of social media and highly curate what you consume. There is zero point in letting angry people on the internet detached from reality drag you down. Zero.
Instead: talk to real people in the real world to re-calibrate your perspective a bit. It helps a lot since extreme opinions are much rarer (though they do exist).
And remember: it's never okay nor helpful to respond with hate. If you see someone doing that – not matter what "side" they are on – walk away.
If you want to take action: start by being a positive role model and try to foster mutual understanding wherever you can.
There's nothing here!
