we have been beating this dead horse for ages now. we need to reframe and expand our argument.

yes but this post is very clearly about an issue pertaining to a certain demographic

The framing of this argument is a problem. Men as a demographic are not alone in perpetuating misogyny and we should stop talking about it as if they are. I understand that there are nuances abt the specific treatment of women by men- but the framing issue is one where women become the “helpless victim sex” and men the “brutal perpetrator sex”. Which reinforces a narrow biological essentialism which is not reflected in reality.

idk how else to explain my point to you besides this post is about a specific misogyny-related issue that comes mostly from men. yes everyone is responsible for deconstructing misogyny but this post isn’t about everyone. it’s addressing something specific.

no the problem is men getting defensive when their problematic behavior is called out & this post is about exactly that.

problematic men will cry “not all men” when an individual is talking about an experience specific to them, completely hijacking the individual and making it all about them bc they feel called out. that’s the point of the fucking post. if you cannot comprehend that, that’s not my issue nor am i sexist for it. if you aren’t problematic then you shouldn’t feel offended by the conversation.

is it really the same when you see a bunch of men crying “not all men” when an individual speaks about an experience they had with a single man? no it’s not bc that individual isn’t generalizing but the response is the same.
