That’s just one part of the problem. The other part of the problem is how toxic masculinity is intertwined with sexual prowess. A man’s worth is his masculinity, and his masculinity is directly tied to first and foremost his sexual prowess, and his wealth and athletic performance to a lesser extent. To be male and a…

Said the pot to the kettle.

I didn’t mean literal disclaimers, and in this particular instance, it makes perfect sense for the protest to be focused entirely on women.

So shameful...

No magic healing powers, unfortunately =/

If Justin was Justine, you would not have written an article like this. The double standards are just so frustrating...

The rampant violence that trans people face.

That was the implication and you know it.

Then why not have at least some centers that help male victims only? Having at least some would be appreciated. The problem is that places that have them are the exception, because even most feminists just can’t see men as legitimate victims...

You’re proving my point, time and time again, and you cannot even see it.

I never said that it should be 50/50. I am just saying that it’s important to shatter the false idea that men are always abusers and that women are always victims. Right now, its 0/100. There basically is no conversation about male victims. They’re just swept under the rug.

The whole “safe space” argument is a rather shitty one if you ask me. It again implies that all men are dangerous and all women are frail, dainty and innocent.
