Reverse misogyny is agonizing. I *know* that the species is not human, it’s not even vertebrate, and that the evolution of mental capacity and empathy is externally imposed on a species never destined for it naturally. I know this. I know they are spiders, and therefore have much to overcome. It’s still depressing to read, especially as the males demonstrate no reduced capacity for thought or feeling.
