This community is "FuckCars", not "FuckMen". There are plenty of men here who are here because "Fuck Cars". I don't think that alienating the men of this community will do any good.
lol do you think I am powerful enough to alienate entire categories of men? Who do you think I am some kind of god destroyer?
I'm afraid to be here because you said something about my big truck. Gonna have to add a punsiher skull and tattered "thin blue line flag" silkscreen to my back window to reinforce my manliness.

Line!
Alienation can result from actions of individuals, yes.
There is little to no self-awareness for people like this.
Yeah. I mean, I am a feminist. I know that a lot of problems are caused by the patriarchy, and yes, men in general sometimes.
But car-dependency is not one of them. And conflating them for no reason just hurts both causes.
You hurt his big manly feelings.
