    You could also interpret this as “men who hate women are more likely to want to replace women”

    We can’t know to what degree each dimension holds unless we do more experiments, but at that point how much do we really care?

      Well, if you wanted to do therapy programs, that kind of information would be helpful.

        Sure. There’s only so much grant money to go around, though…

        This is the part where I’m not actually a researcher, but I wonder if taking robots out of it would help. The fundamental question is what misogynists want: to control women, replace women, or be neutral to women as they aren’t considered fully human anyway.

          Tbh, just isolate them from society. Not forcibly, if they havent committed a crime, but like just some island or something.

          Hell, I bet a lot of them would be persuaded by some macho advertising.

          Easiest solution in my mind.

            I wonder if anyone’s made a secular monastery. The problem, of course, is that self-confinement only works for the ones that really mean it. If I had to guess, most misogynists are actually in the control category, and most of the loud MGTOW kind are more interested in conflict itself than what they’re actually talking about, so that doesn’t leave many potential monks.

              It doesnt have to be all or nothing. A dozen incels gone is a dozen incels gone.
