I haven't seen the original comment, only what is quoted in the article. What you're writing is a pretty gross misrepresentation of at least that quoted part, which simply makes a statement about gender ratios and that they can have significant effects on people's behavior. If you disagree with that, I'd be curious to hear the argument. Beating up a straw man, on the other hand, is bad form.

- solenoid0937 3y agoThis guy was my professor at Cal. He has pretty bad self awareness, but he's absolutely not wrong. Both genders behave entitled and get an inflated sense of self worth when the gender ratio in the dating market favors them significantly. If you have lived and dated in different places, it is 10,000% true that women in the Bay Area behave on average differently (to put it kindly) than women in say NYC or a Midwest town. You can't just call people's experience misogyny if it you don't like it. This isn't misogyny, it's just straight up fact that nearly every guy in the Bay has experienced.
