Why do men want to argue with women who hate men?

Yesterday, I asked "Why do men want to argue with feminists who hate men?" and I was informed by a couple of people that my premise was wrong --.feminists DO NOT hate men. Okay, I'll take your word for that.

Let me re-phrase my question. Why do men want to argue with women who hate men? There are many women in the world, who for whatever reason, emotional or ideological, don't like men. We could quibble over what "don't like" means, but I'm sure you understand -- they have a big chip on their shoulder and an attitude where males are concerned.

Why spend time and energy arguing with them? You're not going to change their minds with some rational argument. There are lots of women in this world who LIKE men. Why not spend your time communicating with THEM, instead of poking man-haters with sticks?

Update:

Jade, so you think a black person who argues with the KKK will change their minds about race? I doubt it. And neither will men who argue with man-haters change THEIR minds.

  • Bcoz too many idiots who make decisions that affect us all listen to those feminists who hate men. You see - the proof of any pudding, regardless of social science rhetoric, is in the eating - and when some non-law gives someone the opportunity to bash, rob, or cheat you, or have you bashed etc without reason - that is hatred. Just an example there.

    I refer here to affirmative action, dv 'laws', education opportunities, rape propaganda, divorce, child custody and concomitant child support rules, and so forth - each and every one of which favour women without reason while taking from men.

    That is bashing, robbing and cheating writ large.... ergo - it is mandatory to fight the alligators to free the swamp from the bondage of said alligators...

    Because 'gender issues' aren't a real-fear, they're a subjective fear, YOU live YOUR life, in YOUR home, YOUR street, YOUR city, but that's where your reality ends.

    The internet-era suggests we live in a 'World', with everybody, that's bogus on an interpersonal level, you can't even comprehend the World in a realistic way, so trying to will create 'fairy-tales'.

    And as mankind, that's our downfall, we have 'delusions of grandeur', so we like to pretend to have EPIC visions of the World, which are usually very 1 dimensional, and often fear-based, because we kinda suspect we're in over our heads, thinking about 'World-views'.

    Nobody likes to be disliked. They especially don't like to be disliked for something they can't change.

    Your statement is equivalent to "why can't black people spend their time communicating with white people who like them". Why do black people want to argue with white people who hate them for being black?

    It's kind of like telling black people to just ignore the KKK is all I'm saying.
