That quote is what I was referring to. You don't have to go to the accident scene to know there was a five car pileup because of communication. You don't have to have your arm cut off to get an idea of how sucky a situation it is because of empathy. As far as being scared by anti-male sentiments, tactics and demonstrations goes, I don't think it's about fear. I think it's about anger and resentment. Why would I go to a function where I knew the majority of attendees were ready to scream angrily at me as I entered the door? Even if I didn't know at first, walking in to find that was the case would almost certainly drive me away.
It's all well and good to not let others' opinions get to you and to remain neutral when people are being negative, but there's a point where one should stop putting up with it and either end the negativity or end their association with the negative people.
