Text on shirt:
1. You have no problem with the gender wage gap. But you hate having to pay for dates.
2. You insist that its a scientifically proven fact that men are stronger than women. But you complain about society believing that its worse for a man to hit a woman than for a woman to hit a man.
3. You believe that the age of consent is unfair and that theres nothing wrong with having sex with teenage girls. But when you find out that a teenage girl enjoys sex, you believe shes the biggest slut in the world.
4. You hate when a woman automatically assumes that a man is a douchebag before getting to know him. But when you like a woman who likes another man, you assume hes a douchebag just because hes not you.
5. You believe that if women want equality, they should be drafted into the military. But you also believe that the military is not a place for women.
6. You hate when women assume that men are like wild animals. But you believe that a woman who doesnt cover up and make herself invisible to men is just like someone wearing a meat suit around wild animals.
7. You hate the fact that men are bullied for not conforming to their male gender roles. But when you find out that a man disagrees with your beliefs about womens rights, your immediate response is to try to emasculate him by comparing him to a woman as an insult.
8. You hate when women assume that there are no nice guys. But you call yourself a nice guy and act like its a rare quality that should cause women to be all over you.
9. You hate when women assume that men just want to get laid. But when you find out that a man is a feminist, you assume that hes just doing it to get laid.
10. You hate when women make generalizations about all men. But when a woman calls you out for being sexist, you claim that all men think like you.
11. You insist that women should be responsible for protecting themselves from being raped. But when they follow the one piece of advice that actually works, which is being aware of red flags, you complain about them assuming that all men are rapists.

And yet many more women are seriously injured and killed by male partners than the reverse.

But I wasn't talking about the severity of the problem in terms of absolute numbers.

Can't speak for others, but for me it's more an issue of relative size than of gender.

I have to wonder if this "hypocrisy" is really deliberate and by design.
