Completely unrelated to your comment, thanks to the internet I can't read the words "both sides" without my eye twitching

No you're right, it's a horrible term that was spawned by the very people who wanted to sabotage our better world. The people who introduced the idea that there were "sides" in a "gender war" are particularly likely to be written about in our granddroid's textbooks as the scourge of our world.

We are wired to be social, to bond with others and mate and raise families and babies and love our little communities. It's not that hard it's just that we've allowed it to become so toxic and complicated because we also have over-developed internal simulators that constantly run simulations of the worst outcomes, and it makes us nervous about how others view us. Bad people have leveraged this fact to make us all hate each other and ourselves.
