Question:
If so many men argue that the assholes are the minority, (NOT ALL MEN!!!) why do we never see giant groups of men flooding women's accounts with nice, respectful messages or support?
Why doesn't dogpiling get responded to by a flood of help? Where is the support for women being stalked and threatened? Where are y'all?
I have never in my life been overwhelmed by kindness. But men literally attempt (and often succeed) destroying my life on the daily.
Where are the "good guys"?
@GinnyMcQueen I think men are less prone to show support in general, maybe because of genetics, maybe because we are supposed to be strong and show little emotion. And as much as I'd like to be different, I'm usually not really engaging in these situations when I encounter them, and if I am, I'd rather call out the harasser than support the victim. It just feels more comfortable.
@Vonk @GinnyMcQueen "maybe because of genetics" that's some gender essentialist bullshit. You've been *taught* that men shouldn't care or show support, and you contribute by perpetuating. There's nothing *genetic* about it.

That's why I said maybe. I don't know, I'm not an expert on the matter. I do believe that men and women are different, (by genetics), which might explain why we act different. But the whole point I was trying to make that it's probably because society teaches us that that's how it works. I didn't mean to offend anyone,
