    Yeah I mean I guess people just have that Christian redemption/forgiveness itch that makes for a good story and feels nice, but is atrocious when you try to apply it as a tactical approach in a political movement. For every incel the left can gain by going back and pandering to them, it loses a dozen women or enby folks. Those guys can join the left if some good smaritan helps them deal with their own issues but it’s so wild to land at the conclusion that it’s somehow feminists’ responsibility to put themselves in danger with them.

      That’s literally happened cos of this thread.

      Plenty of people are beaten down by society, only a small group of misogynistic men who felt entitled to a woman by birth congregated to that ideology.

      Society failed them and they still chose to despise women for it. That was their personal choice. Not radicalisation.

      Even now they clearly see us as objects still.

      And then they think it’s normal to apologise for it and call themselves the victims of “grooming” and how we need to understand them?

      No lmao, they hated women and blamed us, then an ideology that legitimised their irrational misogynistic hated of women appeared and they jumped on it and now they’re remorseful cos they’re justifiably despised and lonley as a result. Fuck around find out. Boohoo cry for me I don’t fucking care.

      They chose to cling to something that legitimised them. Something that has been ruining women’s lives since day 1 and potentially traumatised an entire generation (not single women i know isnt worried about being killed by an incel or something that spawned off it) and now they want us to give them a chance?! Hahahahahahahaha

      Maybe they should do some self crit but that’s asking way too much of people who are addicted to feeling sorry for themselves and playing the victim.

      Lmao next hexbear be strugglin’ over whether we should let men who assaulted women into the gang cos they “were victims of radicalisation” (oh wait we are).
