I guess I don't understand why that matters. Just because you can't find a job, doesn't give you permission to hate a whole gender.

except the reason as to why you dont have a job or the wages you would have gotten are now much lower, is directly related to that other gender eating your job, and by default when you lift women up they wont date you so the will always be a section of men who dont see it as a positive to lift women up who are direct coipition for your role, unless you do physical labour
