Hey! Thanks. I'll repay the favor!

I've thought about it a lot. TL;DR: It comes down to laziness.

~60% of the people in the gender wars don't really think critically before they post, and, as such, they never post their opinions so much as knee jerk reactions. This makes them look dumb, when they're not really dumb: they're just lazy. They didn't give the time or energy necessary to form a good opinion. They just vomited up whatever reaction they had and pressed "save". A bad thing happened -> man/woman did bad thing -> men bad, women sluts. That's as far as it gets. Why try when you can get upvotes in an echo chamber for not trying? It's easier to not think.

~30% of people feigning oppression just want to appear interesting. I know for a large swath of my adolescence, say, between the ages of 13 and 23, I cared more about being an interesting person than a good one. I can assume the feeling is at least somewhat commonplace. So you wrap yourself around the idea that you are "oppressed" in some way because it gives you a background that's not "builds computers, plays a MOBA, is pursuing a degree in engineering." You're not a kind of lonely loser anymore. You're a freedom fighter. You're MLK. You're Gandhi. It makes you feel interesting.

The truth is you're not any more interesting than before. Want to be interesting? Travel. Join a club. Do something fun. Don't whine about oppression on the Internet. So again: laziness. They're too lazy to be interesting so they fake it.

The final 10% don't care about the issue, they care about grinding an axe. Someone hurt them, and they want revenge. They're lazy, as well. Too lazy to pick themselves up and move on, too lazy to do anything about their situation.

Anyway. I feel bad for all of them. The Internet is kind of a haven for sad nerds, though, so I think this only applies in the webosphere.
