My 13 year old daughter was called a Nazi at school because she’s of Jewish descent. Not Israeli, Jewish.

But don’t let that stop your enjoyment of this strawman comic that pretends like anti semitism plays Zero part in the reaction

I agree with this article, but raising a son I think there’s also something to be said for raising a boy in an environment that tells him he’s dangerous, a potential rapist, an abuser, and blames him for all the ills men have committed on women through history. I can see how that can make a boy become resentful and shoot to the opposite.

Men are also hyper aware of how they’re seen and we have to cross the street to not be perceived as following someone or being a creep. We have to change subway cars when we’re the only one there with women. Or we have to constantly reassure people we’re not pro rape or anti women. It gets very tiring having to prove to strangers every day that you’re not a wild animal who is gonna kill you. Being a big guy, it sucks being looked at as a threat 24/7.

“how much do you weigh?”

If you read the old testament in particular, god never denies the existence of other gods, only that he’s the best one. Yahweh was actually just one god in an ancient pre Jewish pantheon. He was like Dionysus, a god of harvest and wine and rebirth. Different tribes had different chief gods, but all accepted the existence of the others. Just happened over time that the people who worshipped Yahweh were the only ones left and it became a monotheistic religion.

I’m sure back in the day, those gods were more similar to Greek gods, flawed and monstrous, and entities to fear. That’s why the old testament god is such a psychopath.
