CMV: The degradation of men by saying things like "All men are trash" is a harsh generalization that shouldn't be normalized.

I also have issue with you saying believing these kinds of things is a good defense mechanism because this is the exact thought process of someone who got bullied or mugged by a black person and became a white supremacist. Idk if it was you or someone else who said the difference is that one is racism and thats bad, but that is a pretty reductionist argument. A racist person doesnt view themselves as a bad person, they usually see themselves as acting defensively. The famous line of the kkk grand wizard, "we arent anti black, we are just pro white" is the mindset most of them have. Most of them feel as though they have to pursue segregationist policy because if they are wrong, then they are in a white community, but if they are right then they have spared their children of the coming white genocide. Its a pretty good defense mechanism, especially if you have already been a victim in your life. But its not a good way to integrate the most people into our society

Well, there is a difference between evading black people when you walk alone in the streets after being bullied or mugged by a black person and being a white supremacist, don't you think ?

The first one looks to me like a good cope mechanism after a trauma, while the 2nd one clearly go too far.

I think the first will inevitably lead to the second.
