Internet offers a distorted view on people. Some people vent on the internet and then go back to their real life more calm. You can be angry about something and still be nice to people regardless.

The same people is considered "hateful" by ones and normal or proman depending on the article. And all those articles are written by the same person.

Also, there is strawman that some traditional men use. They claim that things like being aggressive, dominant or abusive is "men's nature" so when women denounce aggression, forced dominance or abuse, they claim that those women are attacking "all men". Well, no. Because those things doesn't make someone "masculine" or a real men. and many men don't do that. But by claiming that attacks on abuse is an attack on "all men" (which can be done by claiming that stopping that would be "emasculating" or even by saying "not all men"), they basically trick normal non abusive men into protecting them and normalize abuse. It is there on plain sight.

And those are the same that would claim that women lie about whanting men who treat them well opposed to a "real men/masculine men (They also define masculine as violent)/alpha men/whatever". There is a pattern.

But denouncing abuse helps normal non-abusive men. Because abusers usually also abuse other men (that they deem "betas") lower on the hierarchy and at the end of the day, non abusers would have it easier to meet women if women doesn't fear that they become abusive. So once non abuse becomes the norm, the women would be less afraid and relationships would normalize too.

It is like going for a walk at night. If you live in a dangerous neighbourhood, walking at night becomes something you fear and stressful. If you live in a nice place that is safe, it is pleasant. Getting rid of the violence make things better for all non violent people. Only ones who would miss out are the violence people.
