It can't be projection when it's so easy to find quotes or decisions that demonstrate it's the truth.

Hillary Clinton: "women are the primary victims of war" ... "the more we support women, the more we support democracy"

Joe Biden: next justice must be a black woman

Obama: "Men have been getting on my nerves lately. Now women, I just want you to know; you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us. I’m absolutely confident that for two years, if every nation on earth was run by women, you would see significant improvement across the board on just about everything … living standards and outcomes."

The American left is typified by absolutely overt and open sexism against men. They don't try to hide it, they revel in it. Literally the last Democrat President has said women are better than men, full stop. To claim that this belief is projection shows a deep level of denial about the truth - the American Left hates men, wants them gone from any kind of position of prosperity or power and talks about it all the time.

To me that's worse than opportunism. You can disagree, but you can't say it's not a coherent choice.



I don't know where to start here. If you think those quotes reflect a hatred of men, you're without context to such a degree that I don't think we can even begin to have a conversation about it.

I'm a white man and I don't have a problem with any of that. I think it's essentially all true. Can you square that?


That's the kind of non-answer that you posted before. Without context, blah blah blah. Fine, put them in a context that doesn't make them misandry. You can't because they are.

As for you being a white man and thinking it's true, Obama and Biden are men and also obviously think it's true - or calculate that it's politically beneficial to say it. It's still hating men: yes Dorothy, men can be misandrists. Plenty of irrational people in the world.


Another white man here that disagrees with your assessment. How can pointing out the lack of representation on the nation's highest court with a desire to fix (the Biden quote) ever be construed as "overt and open sexism"?


These posts are absurd, it's like we aren't speaking the same language. How did you get like this?

Sexism means discrimination on the basis of sex. Stating the next SC justice isn't allowed to be a man is sexism. That is undeniably a correct statement.

Now, you believe sexism against men is justified. You should own that and just admit you're deeply sexist, you're engaging in misandry and female supremacy and you're happy about that. Don't try and alter the English language to pretend that isn't your position: own it.

But I don't know if you will be able to, as you're not only distorting the language around the word sexism. Biden isn't "pointing out" a lack of representation. He isn't a passive observer merely remarking on a phenomenon. He's stated very clearly that he should be the guy to pick and he will not pick a man or a white person under any circumstances. That's not "pointing out" - it's active sexual discrimination against men and whites.

Again, own it if you like. Say you're a sexist and you think it's justified, you wish it weren't illegal because men should lose by default. But don't try and claim that statements like "men are better than women" isn't sexism.


There is such an astounding amount of bad faith commentary in your reply that I'm just honestly shocked you can put so many ridiculous words in the mouth of a stranger based on a single sentence while simultaneously taking both the intellectual and moral high road. I'd try and discuss this further, but you clearly have zero interest in an actual discussion or in examining your views.
