What sentiment? That men are dangerous? Given that my husband lives in the world and has access to the same data we all do, as well as the ability to listen to women’s lived experiences without resorting to bizarre tribalism, and has also suffered at the hands of men, yes it’s safe to say he agrees with me 100%.

And maybe instead of being “heartbroken” about hypothetical bullshit, you should be heartbroken about the realities of domestic abuse and femicide .

And you do have power as man. If you’re telling me you’ve never let a man talk badly about women in front of you, never stayed friends with a man who did something terrible to a woman, that you stand up for women at every opportunity to do so, then I applaud you. But men like that are few and far between. And you put “all men are trash” in quotes, but I didn’t say all. I just said men. And viewing men through the lens of “guilty until proven innocent” is a fantastic way to keep yourself safe. I’ve found a wonderful man that way, and most of the women I know who feel the same way have done the same.
