that article is so brave but it made me so sad
We are still being blamed for men's actions. They decide to attack us to sexually assault us, to rape us but somehow its our fault.
and then when we try to talk about rape culture or toxic masculinity we hear Not All Men
Yes not all men but too many fucking women
Too many women are attacked
Too many women are groped
Too many women are raped
but not all men
Not all men challenge rape jokes and rape culture
not all men stand up for women
not all men challenge steroptypes
not all men challenge the assumption that its women's fault when they are attacked.
But a lot of men have there feelings hurt when women talk about this
they try to derail by saying other women are worse off, that it happens to men too and of course not all men. Or if they do they act like they should get a bloody medal for it
I for one am sick of hearing these responses from men. Support should be a given thing with no expectation of a reward. So if your a man and you want to use not all men or any other of these derailing tactics then don't talk to me because I no longer care
