There is, though, the popular conception that most crimes are performed by ethnic minorities - "Most crimes are done by black people = all black people are criminals to be avoided" and "Most rapes are done by men = all men are rapists to be avoided" seem roughly equivalent and equally flawed modes of reasoning. I don't know if I agree with her personal choices not needing to be criticised; she was the one who brought it into the arena of discussion in the first place - and in fact basically suggested that everyone avoid men, therefore making it not entirely a personal decision - and I don't really agree with the whole "people have opinions and we can't judge them ever!" thing anyway.

F!S has a huge bias. Again, if this were about white people avoiding black people, men avoiding women, the rich avoiding the poor, everyone would be saying it was unacceptable. Instead we have people insisting that misandry never exists.

I agree that there is more societal normalisation and problematic issues surrounding rape, though, which does make it harder to deal with emotionally. But cutting yourself off from just under half the population is unfair to yourself, since it denies you so many experiences and lets your past traumas control your life, unfair to the men, and likely unfair to any of her female friends who have male friends and can't hang out with them around her. Though it might be the 'easiest' or least painful option to avoid men, it's not a very good option.
