A Twitter Hashtag Probably Doesn't Prove Feminists Want to Kill All Men

Article here. Excerpt:

'The Twitter hashtag #killallmen, which started trending last May, has finally reached conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. His site, InfoWars, ran a story Monday about how "feminists have misappropriated the women’s rights movement into an excuse for hating men." This taps into men's rights activists' beliefs that misandry exists and feminists actually wish to be violent towards men.
...
Not all feminists employ the hashtag, and some say it only serves to feed the MRA trolls. They're right. MRAs will never get the joke, because they think women commit widespread, systemic injustices against men in the same way that men do against women. A bloodthirsty feminist murdering a guy for asking her for her phone number sounds about right to these guys.'

... a hashtag like #killallwomen, would that be OK too? Not to make a big thing out of. Likewise for #killallblacks, #killallwhites, #killalljews, #killallmuslims, #killallchristians, #killallamericans, #killallgermans, #killallbritish, #killallasians, etc., etc.?

But I do see what they're saying. Really, it isn't so bad, the things they're on about. But isn't that what, not long ago, certain people who did a similar kind of thing used to say when they stood around telling "jokes" about Jews, women, black people, etc.?

"It's just a joke. No harm. Lighten up!"

Sure.
