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've seen it happen, and I've been a part of it, but it's definitely a minority occurrence, and I've seen it mainly when a member of a specific community gets attacked and the rest of us rally around. (I'm a cyclist; certain women in our particular part of our specific community are highly regarded. But even then, it's not the broad cycling community, just very specific individuals.)
