This is gonna piss some people (men) off, I can already tell…

This is an excellent point and I think it demonstrates really well what people mean by “all men”

Even tho I love men as much as the next straight girl…bear for me, please

    wait, do you not want to debate me on the validity or importance of what I’ve written? you’ve done so for almost everyone else

      I don’t disagree with men because they’re men. I agree with your comment and appreciate the call out to boys and men that they don’t have to lean into the patriarchy to belong somewhere.

      I leave supportive comments, too hahah

        I did say debate, not disagree. I’m not sure what’s in your mind.

        and I wasn’t expecting you to disagree because I’m a man, I haven’t been one for a while now lol

          Oh I wasn’t calling you a man, sorry if that wasn’t clear - I was referring to the “everyone else” that I was “debating”.

          Oftentimes my debates around here are seen as disagreements and sometimes they are shrug

            I want to believe that at least some of the people defending men are not-men. I have a lot of wonderful men in my family who deserve that grace.

            I can respect that, no sense in agreeing with everything you see, especially if it’s an injustice that deserves scrutiny

              That’s my belief as well and same feelings about the wonderful men in my life. I’m not assuming everyone here is a man just some users whose names I recognize, again just to be clear :)
