Look at the general Internet. The fact that you don’t personally believe it doesn’t make it a straw man. Go find any video of a woman slapping a man for speaking disrespectfully and read the comments under it. The person you replied to is describing a real thing that many people really clearly believe,even if theyd never agree with it when phrased the way they said it.
Nope. They literally referred to a very common phenomenon that you choose to believe is a straw man because that doesn’t require you to examine your belief in a popular narrative.
I’ll say again: you not believing it doesn’t make it imaginary.

They literally conjured up imaginary groups of people that are supposedly fine with it and then attacked feminists using that argument.
It’s a perfect example of a strawman argument.
