Something I noticed about a decade ago when it came to people advocating gun control were also boasting about going to their shrink and their mental illnesses on social media. It finally clicked these people didn't trust themselves with a gun ergo no one can be trusted. This was the basis of their argument: "I can't therefore I will do everything to prevent you too..."
Yeah, same with male feminists who hear "All men are rapists" and agree with it. It's not an understatement to say that the majority of politics comes down to projection.
