I think the average guy thinks they’re pro-woman, just because they think they’re a nice guy and someone has told them that they’re awesome. But the truth is far from it. Unless you are actively, consciously working against the gravitational pull of the culture, you will predictably, thematically, create these sort of fucked-up representations.

THAT is what I was trying to say. It is a gravitational pull, and like gravity, it’s easy to take completely for granted and explain away as “Gravity, duh.”
Seriously, strive to achieve escape velocity. It’s a big universe.
