The negative side of being an abuser of women

Many men who mouth "truisms" about women -- those that happen to have a political sting due to them -- are far from aware that these are weapons that have been tried out and tested against women for a couple of centuries.

Those men who do this obviously don't actually need to know the ins and outs of the philosophical arguments behind their rhetoric, nor do they even need to know HOW their rhetoric "works" to achieve its effect of silencing the voices that appear different from the norm. The deployment of such weapons is instinctive.

The fact that the majority of these men DO NOT understand how their barbs and arrows work is evident in the fact that they don't seem to realise the disadvantages involved in their chosen weapons. They understand (from watching other men) the advantages, well enough. But what is hidden from public view and what takes a longer time to have a result are the personal disadvantages of using anti-woman tactics. As I have investigated, these involve a reduced ability on the part of these men to deal with their own emotions, increasing paranoia, alienation and suspicion of women, whose actual motives (not those imputed to them by anti-woman ideologues) become harder and harder to understand, social and psychological dysfunction and general unhappiness in life. That's the down side (in the long term) of using oppression to make oneself feel good.
