To think all men are like Diddy?

With the recent (and not so recent) news surrounding Diddy, I can’t help but reflect on how his behaviour epitomises a troubling pattern I see in some men: selfishness, drama, and a complete lack of accountability (to put it lightly). It makes me wonder if this is a common attitude among men.

AIBU to think that many men, like Diddy, prioritise their own desires over the wellbeing of others? Is this something we should be more critical of, or is it just an unfortunate stereotype?

I'm sorry if I was rude @Hateam I assumed your extreme minimisation of violence against women and girls was wilful.

I'm always astounded when people don't seem to understand. It's an epidemic. It's getting worse and it's not something to be complacent about.

Exactly, 50+ men all living within a few miles of the victim. If that doesn’t demonstrate what a large proportion of men are capable of if they think they can get away with it there’s no convincing some people. Most willfully ignore the possibility because it’s so horrific.

50 men who have been identified, but at least 80 in total. 30 of them are still out there. Horrifying.

"Sometimes I do wonder about what would happen if you put any man in a position of significant power, control, and influence. I don’t believe that all men would be corrupted by it, but I think an uncomfortable proportion would be. I think there is certainly some who would take full advantage and engage in predatory behaviour. More than we probably like to think."

Spot on.

I don't think all men are diddy men but at least some of them are.
