I mean I’m sorry in that I sympathize with the effects that the patriarchy and bad men have had on women, and also for having the privilege of not experiencing all of the same negative effects by being a man. If you’re asking me to apologize as if I’m responsible for the patriarchy and the actions of other men, just by virtue of being a man, however, then I take offense to that. I will do my best to use my privilege as a man to make the world a safer and more equitable place for women though.

Why would we apologize for things we didnt do and accept being generalized as some of the most evil people alive?

I agree with everything except the last sentence. Apologizing for something you didn’t do doesn’t make sense. What we should do is be aware and not deflect using statements like not all men

Im not apologizing for another man’s actions im not guilty of hurting a lady if I apologize it don’t do shit but make me look guilty

This whole argument has gotta be from, like, one or two girls total. These girls do not represent me. (F)

When a lady (or guy) says that she had a bad day, you say you’re sorry. Not because you had anything to do with it, but because you wish that it she had a better day and that you want her to feel heard and understood. Hope the different example helps
