I think it’s stupid when a guy replies something along the lines of ‘those are boys, men don’t do that’, its like a replacement for not all men

she never said women don’t do it, she’s just pointing out a specific example. if you made your point and then connected them in any meaningful way (or at least acknowledging that men do it a lot more than women) this would be a different convo. but you didn’t. and now we’re talking about this instead of the actual post

okay so do you want to talk specifically about how men use that as a replacement for not all men as a way to deflect from their own bad behavior? or do you want to keep pretending like it’s an equal problem among women too

…because that was the issue that was brought up. just bc both genders do it we can’t ever focus on just one now?

if you want to talk about women doing this, make your own post. but it’s fine to focus on a specific part of a issue even if that makes men upset

right but there’s still a gendered aspect to it. men and women both do it but i doubt they do it in exactly the same way for exactly the same reason - plus there’s already a whole ‘boys will be boys’ attitude that women don’t have when it comes to this thing. it’s still worth it to point out specific examples of how each gender does this. it’s a little disingenuous to act like you’re adding to the topic when you’ve just completely derailed it into something else by refusing to acknowledge that

there are still differences in how each gender does this specific action

I’m not going to reply to everything you said, but it is just ridiculous to act like men and women violate each other at similar rates. When the conversation is about men and their behavior, it is regressive to bring up instances of women trespassing because they are never on the same scale. And highlighting the issue of men is not to say they are worth less, but to challenge how they devalue women by their actions and mentality.
