Why is it so hard for people to care about women?

[RuffleCrow]

Just that, really.

A man can be verbally abusing and harassing people, breaking the law in other ways that are inexcusable, and yet people will have endless excuses:

"Oh, I expect it's the stress of lockdown/work/something you've done to set him off".

No, he has a choice about how he handles these things. We all do. He's a grownup, not a teenager/toddler.

I can't say more as it would be outing, but

I’ve not seen people excuse harassment.

You're very fortunate then.

I think the same @Rufflecrow.

Who is doing this?
Who are these people you refer to?

Yes - I agree there is still massive sexism issues, you only need to read the feminist board to understand this.

However your post isn’t specific and very vague.
As I read it, by saying ‘people’ it reads as if I’m excusing this person / ignoring them when actually we don’t have a clue what you’re referring to!

Oh I have, and OP it's daunting. It starts at home, in upbringing, girls are told to be accountable while boys are given excuses for their behaviour. There have been many articles written about this, it's very telling and it should not be tolerated.

I have male friends who admit to this, they even said why not? It's been like this forever and women are seen as moaners when bringing this noise up. Arghhh

I'm sorry it's vague but i'm right in the middle of something DA wise and can't post details.

Exactly @thetickingtime - i think it can resort in a kind of arrested development in some boys/men. They never have to find another way to relate to women/anyone else they consider 'fair game' so that side of their behaviour stays at a childish level. Of course I don't bring my ds up that way but time will tell.
