Why are people retarded?

I've always been a strong believer in justice and so I always try to get people to see my point of view when I feel they are being unjust.

From primary school where I argued that boys were being punished differently from girls, or how the teachers believed the word of the girls before even hearing from the guys, I always debated with my teachers about the injustice I perceived.

I also had questions about how so many things around me seemed to say I'm a bad person simply cause I was born a boy.

"Men are evil",
"Men are stupid and women are smart",
"What a man can do, a woman can do better"

So many things being said that I debated with as a 9 year old.

Going into uni, I kept hearing these things, but on a broader scale.

"Men are rapists",
"Men are polygamous in nature",
"Women have no value"

So many opinions I feel are stupid, but have tried to debate with people to try to change their POVs.

I believed that if I presented facts and statistics in arguments with people, I can convince them.

I had this mental illness where I believed that if I presented facts and statistics in arguments with people, I can convince them.

After 4 years of uni, I have realized I was naive.

They do not know better and are simply not willing to learn. They cannot let go of their prejudice and characterize entire groups based on their limited experiences.

"All men are rapists" — and it's about 5% of the male population responsible for them.

I have also tried debating politics, and so many other issues and they simply don't listen. They draw false parallels, throw around tiktok lingo etc and I've simply made my peace.

They simply don't listen.

I used to be so pissed when scrolling on twitter cause I'm seeing so many stupid posts.

"Kill all men",
"Men should start in prison and work their way out"

And genuinely I'm tired.

I've just made peace with it.

Block, mute and go on.
