Question:
If so many men argue that the assholes are the minority, (NOT ALL MEN!!!) why do we never see giant groups of men flooding women's accounts with nice, respectful messages or support?
Why doesn't dogpiling get responded to by a flood of help? Where is the support for women being stalked and threatened? Where are y'all?
I have never in my life been overwhelmed by kindness. But men literally attempt (and often succeed) destroying my life on the daily.
Where are the "good guys"?
@GinnyMcQueen I personally try to as often as I can, and it's usually met with a share of the vitriol. I don't mind it, honestly, I get plenty of flak from most opinions I voice on more mainstream social media (and isn't part of the point to pull some of the hate away from the original targets anyway?), but I guess some aren't prepared to deal with the barrages of accusations of virtue signaling and whiteknighting.
Not saying it's a good excuse, just a thought I had.
@GinnyMcQueen Oh yeah, some of the abuse these people dish out is heinous.
As for guys, there is certainly a distinct weakness in the face of hegemony and social norms. You have firsthand experience with how hard men can lash out when those things are challenged.
@elderbong Men are maybe the weakest beings on the planet if that's the case. They're afraid of being shamed for supporting women. Meanwhile, here's a highlight from my messages. https://mastodon.social/media/KiW1OBe71UGdl6klyaE
