Yeah, dude. You know what else girls in developed countries generally don't have to deal with? Genital mutilation. Ergo, fighting for reproductive rights, equal pay, paid maternity leave, and all that jazz: totally invalidated now because someone else has it worse. I guess it's time to roll back all those child labor…

And you know what, a little caveat: YOU are the problem. YOU are a misogynist. YOU are the reason this shit keeps happening. Not all men. Not even men in general—my husband is awesome. My sons are awesome. They respect women and know better than to tell a woman that her experiences aren't real unless they've been…

Okay. Read over EVERYTHING YOU JUST WROTE and ask me again why women are angry. Seriously. Everything you just wrote is completely tone deaf. I literally just explained the whole fucking structural basis of ideology to you and you turned around and said "yeah, but women!..." God, you didn't even say "women," you keep…

I'm going to be patient here. Understand that blaming misogyny and patriarchal ideology is NOT equivalent to blaming men. Maybe this is why so many reasonable-sounding guys are getting caught up in the "not all men" side of this argument. No one is blaming all men. I'm married to one and a mother to two.

What do you think feminism does? Obviously, you think feminists just sit around and bitch about men all day. If you actually DO care to be enlightened, consider the fact that these guys—the PUAhaters and the Elliot Rogers of the world—they're victims of misogynistic/patriarchal ideology, too. It's an ideology that…

lol @ the half-hearted feminazi reference. You're totally right, bro. People who threaten to go on mass shooting sprees shouldn't actually be treated like they're going to go on mass shooting sprees.

"They're not murderers, they're sick people venting."

Okay, dude—your original question: "Why does your poor husband have to answer for all of mankind? That makes no sense."

Okay. So I guess I'll just repeat: Did it occur to you that maybe she was being facetious? As in, she wasn't REALLY suggesting that ALL men are like this?

I had to force myself to click out of the page because it's too easy to get sucked into the troll vortex. And then I clicked back in to see if any trolls had taken my facts and statistics to heart and changed their ways. It doesn't appear so...

OH MY GOD THANK GOD YOU SHOWED UP, WHO KNOWS WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED TO HER MARRIAGE OR PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH IF YOUR STRANGER ASS HADN'T SHOWN UP TO MANSPLAIN HER HYSTERIA TO HER!

Do you understand that no one said "all men are X"? This isn't about #NotAllMen.

Have you considered the possibility that she was being facetious when she said that? That maybe she doesn't really blame her husband for all men's behavior, but goes to him for answers about certain male behaviors?

First of all: slow clap for your clever use of the "check your privilege" adage to conceal your inability to grasp context or nuance.

Ruh-roh. Concern troll is concerned.

This is fucking scary, namely because—as you said—these guys are seen as outliers. Misogyny is so normalized that everyone is talking about Elliot Roger as a matter of "crazy people be crazy!"

So all I'm hearing is: "WARNING: I AM A RAPIST. STAY AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE I MAY COERCE/PRESSURE/TRICK YOU INTO HAVING SEX, OR FLAT OUT RAPE YOU IF YOU'RE DRINKING AND I THINK YOU OWE ME." That's all I've been hearing the last few days every time some MRA douchebro has jumped all over the #YesAllWomen conversation with…

I feel like I go through this existential crisis every time a conservative says something awful, which is ALL THE TIME.
