there's a reasonable way to express frustration at being lumped in with dudes doing bad things but that guy is far from reasonable

because he's taking everything extremely personally and acting victimized by it. some woman somewhere in the world making a blanket statement about men is making that guy feel like he needs to live in fear in his daily life

I mean from my understanding he’s hearing people say some version of “all men are trash” and as a man he feels attacked by that, which makes sense. I’ve heard women say this online and often in real life. Maybe not with particular malice but it does get said. Being told that your group of people is trash and that you shouldn’t be offended at that is understandably something that makes one feel bad.

Especially if he’s saying “what should I do” and usually the answer is “stop whining when people call you trash. They don’t mean that you’re personally trash they just mean that your type is trash. If you are offended by this blanket statement then you likely are the trash they’re referring to”

Just seems like a confusing dynamic worth seeking clarification on. I have my own reasons that this phrase is used but didn’t want to add to the mess of comments in there

People just think it’s unfair to be called trash even though they’re trying their best to be a good person yk? I think that’s understandable

From their perspective, it’s like walking around with stabbers on the loose everywhere that only target your half of the population, watching stabbers get famous and spew lies about how they as stabbers should be in charge of everything while young knife holders eat it up like it’s the Gospel. Watching knife holders lament the loss of a past where knives gave you a right to everything and no one held you accountable. And then when knife holders stub their toes, they react by stabbing

The knife holders can’t help having a knife, but they can at least try to understand the anti-knife sentiment. They can at least stop glorifying the bloody, stab-filled past that was so miserable for everyone who lacked a knife. They can at least watch a stabbing and respond with “someone take his knife away” instead of “but I don’t stab, what’s the big deal?”

Oh and you also stub your toes, that’s the other part. They stub their big toe on a Karen, you stub your pinky toe on that conference where half the male members zoned out and stared at your boobs instead of listening to what you had to say.

You can downvote me but you’re just admitting to the fact you are ragebaiting 😈

Of course we should empathize with everyone’s struggles, however small. It’s not always easy, but it is easier when they too empathize with ours.

I’m not, I just thought his questions were valid and related to a few of his points. If he comments here he can let you know I’m not him 🤷 otherwise you just gotta take my word for it

That is kind of the point I am getting at. We need to empathize with each other. I am listening and trying to understand women’s issues but it seems no women are interested in men’s perspectives or issues. In fact men’s issues are invalidated by women often times. Which further makes men not want to open up about them. Ultimately creating further division
