It's great that you do what you can, sincerely it is... But many men let all sorts of crap fly, at best a cringe and a shake of the head is what happens.
It's not you, great!! But WTF is with the derailing, denying and constant complaints about random women not being nice enough? Do you not notice men here threatening to throw women to the wolves, so to speak, because they weren't appreciative enough? Do you think that's admirable? or that this *hurt feelings* crap has any place in this discussion?
Like it or not, we've seen and experienced these things, and are trying to discuss them. Saying its "not me" adds nothing. The expression of random resentment towards women here might explain quite a bit why misogyny still thrives.
So many men have expressed here how their support is conditional on how well random women behave towards them.... It's horrid selfish bullshit. Not liberal, not progressive, just profoundly sad.
