It is very simple.

To express straightforward--sometimes blunt--sometimes satiric viewpoints without conciliatory preamble is perceived as male.

And that will make a considerable number of women and their little men helpers swarm in fury. Truly deranged hysteria and they will try to crush you with their mass and if you are uncrushable they will exile you. Because what you've done smells too uncompromisingly male.

It was very funny to me when I discovered, starting about 14 years ago, that in online places attracting comparable numbers of women and men, I always found myself sitting at the guys' table because the viewpoints sorted themselves out that way. It just happened.

But don't think conservative men are incapable of behaving in exactly the same way, because some of them do. That is continually proven to me on Substack. There are only a handful of parlors where one can disagree and the host won't get seriously bent out of shape to be challenged.

It takes great self-assurance to be able to handle all comers equally. Rigidity of thinking is not in the least entirely the left's affliction. It's just they're the majority in the public sphere these days.
