Who am I to dismiss your hate and bad faith towards men or to ask you to stop expressing it?

You're my friend and I have to approve your feelings anyway.

But at the end of the day, I'm a man too, whether I like it or not. And I don't know for how long I can take this daily reminder to always hate myself more because I was born with a guilty gender.

To me, the right answer is to just remove myself from it when it gets to be too much. As far as I'm concerned, people have a right to hate men, but as you said, it gets really spiritually taxing after a while. We all must practice self care, and that includes vetting the types of conversation we're willing to listen to and engage with.

Usually not worth it to ask someone to stop, but if you withdraw and they ask why, then I'm 100% on board with just saying you can't deal with it.

[@Carissi] They have a right to their feelings, I won't try to deny anyone that.
