 Men's response to the 4B movement got me thinking. They always respond with "ungrateful women hate men because they're spoiled, selfish bitches who cannot appreciate the order and protection that men choose to afford them." 

How come they never truly ask why? Can they really not formulate any reason for why a woman would want to distance herself from men beyond them just being selfish? That men never could have done anything to play a part in her decision because they are not capable of wrongdoing?

If all 4 billion women on Earth wanted nothing to do with men, would they still feel this way? Probably, because men's egos are so large that they physically cannot find any fault with themselves. Their response would be to try and force themselves onto women instead of stepping up and being better so that women can coexist with them without standing to lose their physical and emotional safety. Exactly like how their response is now.
