We have enough statistics to know that it isn’t. It’s just that assholes always stand out among others, and the pool of good people is generally lower because when people try to date they will fish in a pond full of people who got rejected for obvious reasons, while all the good fish are already on a platter. Or something like this, I got lost in the analogy.
It’s not true it’s just a way people argue in bad faith. If you are worse than a bear you are a threat to be managed and it’s a motive to exclude you from society.
It’s important to remember that misogyny and “the patriarchy” isn’t men vs women, it is men and women vs women. This is not about opposing sides it’s about unlearning harming behavior and rhetoric.
Semantics a bit. The Patriarchy harms both men and women in almost innumerable ways, but it still exists primarily for the benefit of men.
While we will all benefit greatly from the eradication of the patriarchy, it is disingenuous to pretend the ways in which it impacts us are equal across the board.
That sucks. I hope you never have to deal with that again.
Of the fifty guys i know well, none have had that happen. Of the fifty girls I know well, there’s 49 who have been molested. (Fake numbers because I’m not going to bother counting, but it’s pretty much right)
If I knew you better, I could add you to the pile of stories.
If you’re going to blame some vague notion like “the Patriarchy” for the behavior of men it doesn’t make me think you’re an especially enlightened person.
How is it an insult? Newsflash, you’re not “all men” so you have the power to set yourself apart from the ones who are worse than bears. Men who get worked up about this stuff just need to shift their perspective. I know, I used to be one.
I’m sorry but you are an average man, and so am I. I’m tired of this mass wave of hatred towards the everyday man. If your boundaries are a wider than mine its OK but I won’t take being insulted in the face and say “yes, ma’am”.
I’m not insulted, I’m angry at my fellow men for being such consistent shitheads that it’s true.

Except society doesn’t do that.
Source: almost every woman you know has been assaulted. Almost none of their assaulters are in jail.
I’ve spent three days in jail because I broke up with my ex and she went to the police and told them I hit her.
A person who bragged about barging into women’s change rooms and “grabbing them by the pussy” was elected president.
With a shit ton of Christian/conservative women supporting him

You 100% it’s not men and women vs men and women on this?

I would agree that most men need to be excluded from society

If you’re a man and you’re not horrified at the behavior of men then you haven’t talked to enough women.

Who’d you go about that? How’d you choose?
Show them the original post. If they go “Yup” then they get to stay. If they feel the need to write a NOTALLMEN rant they get shown the door.
So you only want men that are OK with being insulted in the face? That’s a pretty small margin you got there.
You can leave.
See ya outside!
“not all men are violent!”
Proceeds to threaten violence
