This is Jezebel, you have to be outraged! don’t think things through, everything is just as it seems and never has any deeper meaning!

#NotAllMen’ing doesn’t help a fucking thing.
But again, there are many men that *do* oppose rape culture and misogyny. And I certainly didn’t assume she was wrong because she was a woman - I assumed she was wrong because she was painting a very large group of people with a very broad brush.
Dude.
You might see her comment that way, but it reeks of dogwhistle tactics to me. Again, I have no issues with her being cautious around men - it is after all, her life and her safety. But when she implies that she would have problems loving a man knowing what men do, that shifts the blame to all men, and THAT is what I…
I do not care whether anyone (woman or otherwise) likes me. I do however dislike broad, sweeping generalizations about the content of my character based on a characteristic over which I have no control.
And how dare I contradict her opinion? Oh, so selfish of me.
You’re right, there’s actually a meeting every tuesday night. It’s at the local Y. All Men, every single one, from every country, all come together to talk about why women suck. It’s pretty fun. There’s coffeecake and coffee, and sometimes Jim(s) remember to bring the damn napkins. We all need napkins for the…
And I cannot believe that a story about an injustice to Third World women is an opportunity for a Western woman to display her mistrust of men.
If I were Roninette, I would say that straight people DO assault and kill people like me. When I came out to my parents, I was called a plethora of vile things. My parents, the people that should always love and protect me, did not have even a sliver of compassion or understanding. They told me that if I tell anyone…
If all men are responsible for misogyny, then all straight people are responsible for homophobia. I don’t believe that either of the two are true, but I don’t understand how you can believe the former and not the latter.
I live in Macedonia, a very conservative country in South-Eastern Europe, where there are currently no anti-discrimination laws. Should I search for a job or a place to live, I could be denied either because of my sexual orientation. When I came out to my parents four months ago, they told me that if I I tell anyone…
If a woman thinks of other women as lesser than men or judges them according to different standards compared to the way she judges men, she is a misogynist.
Should I as a gay man assume that every straight person is conspiring against me? Do straight people owe me anything?
Note that virtually all the rapes in this story were committed by Black people.
Neither does #AllMen’ing. There are a LOT of reasons this shit is going on in West Africa (and other places), and simplifying it down to “men suck” helps nobody.
If you can’t comprehend that men are not a monolithic hivemind, maybe it’s best that you not date one.
By “honest” I assume you mean “most in line with my own biases and opinions about sex”?
I hate weddings. If you ask your friends to party with your entire extended family, you get everything you deserve for being so desperate for attention. Two different sets of people need two different parties. Stop making it all about you!
