The judgements are very often instrumentally useful. Also, I do happen to see this subset of the users on internet every bit as negatively as I said, and so do many other people who usually don’t tell anything about it, and in so much as I do not think that seeing it more positively would be instrumentally useful, it’d not be quite honest to just see it this way and never say.
edit: also, a backgrounder. I am a game developer. We see various misogynistic crap every damn day (if looking into any online communication system). Also, as on the PUA, they see people (women) as objects, seek sexual promiscuity and shallow relationships, are deliberately manipulative, etc, etc. scoring more than enough points on a sociopathy traits list for a diagnosis (really only not scoring the positive points like charisma). What they think about women being taken as likely true is clearly a very poor example of evidence for a post about typical mind fallacy.
