Oh definitely. The desire to be the persecuted hero isn't subtle. I mentioned race on one post about Imane Khelif and dudes came flying into the comments to argue like I'd put up a Bat signal. Because it challenged their illusion that they're about "fairness" and "protecting their daughters."

Constantly setting up ways for them to feel like they’ve been the hero all along, instead of actually doing the work and *checks notes* loving their kids unconditionally and not caring about other people’s private parts. So difficult!
