all these men in the comments telling you they’re “not like that” like refusing to address this attitude in other men isn’t part of the problem too 🙄 you’re right. men do frequently do this and you’re valid for feeling this way. there are good men out there but they’re coincidentally never the ones who say “but *I* don’t do that” when a woman points out a widespread problematic behavior 🫶
I think it’s unfair to frame this like all men who disagree are part of the problem. A lot of guys are not trying to dismiss anyone’s experiences. They are just pushing back against being generalized or told they all share the same mindset. Most men I know do see the intimacy as meaningful and connected to love. Real conversations happen when both parties can talk without assuming bad intentions. Calling out toxic behavior is valid, but it is also valid for men to say “that doesn’t represent me”
