  • That’s completely fair and I noticed it myself which is why I brought up fathers. It’s not just mothers it’s fathers, brothers, cousins, friends. But when all the men in your life say “women ain’t shit” and then all the women in your life say “men ain’t shit” more than likely they’re gonna end up siding with they’re gender.

    I hope you understand I’m not trying to argue in bad faith. I’m just trying to let my personal experience be shown and trying to explain that going too far in one direction causes the opposite intended effect





  • Oh trust me I’m aware of who Simon is and I feel disgusting debating all this because I understand the real meaning behind it.

    I’m just trying to say the messaging isn’t reaching or impacting the men you’re trying to call out. All it’s doing is causing boys who did nothing to fall down the alt-right pipeline that leads to becoming the men you’re trying to call out


  • Hey now one comment thread at a time lol

    I’m not saying that, though I can see why you’d think so. I’m saying that pushing all of your trauma onto your kids normally backfires and causes them to be the very thing you hate.

    Don’t call your son a rapist just because they’re a man. Just like don’t call your daughter a whore just because she’s a woman. More often than not it causes them to end up with the very mindset you’re trying to avoid.

    Just teach them to be good people. No sexism involved.


  • Except this whole post is about how women say “all men” and men refuting that.

    Violence against women is a serious problem. Rape, murder, physical/emotional torture. They all exist and it’s abhorrent in every sense.

    As I’ve said before, teach your sons how to be good people but stop putting your trauma on them. A mother telling her son all the bad things men have done to her is one thing. A mother telling her son that all men are evil is completely different.

    I’m not trying to take away from the fact that a lot of men raise their sons this way. I hate those men with a burning passion. I’m just saying that all these posts and messages and shit aren’t helping, and in a lot of cases are actually making things worse, because the type of man that would do these things isn’t gonna listen and the type of man that wouldn’t do these things is gonna feel attacked because they know they’d never do those things.

    Idk how to fix the problem. I’m not part of it. I call other men out for their behavior. I’ve personally stopped several men from hurting women. But I’m still lumped in because it’s “all men”.



  • I probably shouldn’t have commented in the first place but here we are.

    I get the sentiment here and truly understand this posts intent and meaning and the message behind it but the problem is the type of man that would do these horrible things is gonna completely ignore it. All it really does is make young boys think all women hate them just for existing which drives them towards the very men who do these things because they don’t treat them like the scum of the earth just for existing.

    I don’t have a solution to the problem. Tbh I’m kind of a misanthrope and see humanity as a whole as a lost cause in the first place. But I can tell you from personal experience that constantly hearing about all men being trash does nothing but cause men to hate women and want to do things that hurt them as a result.

    You can teach your sons how to be good people without giving them trauma by constantly telling them they’re inherently evil just because they have a penis.
