It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The fuck is he even saying
I think he's trying to say that every man is capable of violence, so people take that into account more or less consciously when interacting with men. So violence already being given, the essential struggle is against improper or "dumb" violence and not violence per se.
Maybe I'm being too charitable
It's like realizing that what feminists have been saying about toxic masculinity and male violence has been true all along, but instead of arriving at the sane conclusion that we gotta reexamine masculinity, he just copes and says it's cool that men are always an inch away from going mass shooting mode.
He's saying that men will do violence if you do that, whereas women will not.
