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 As a guy that passes for white, I had *one* long conversation about racial representation and after a day of it, I was exhausted. I can't imagine how you come back day after day, seriously. I was impressed in the abstract and even more impressed after having to deal with something similar *just once*.
I don't know if any of that helps; that's all I've got for now.
@vjgoh You just answered your own question.
You are a white dude and it's not a matter of life or death for you so you don't care as much.
Try harder.
@GinnyMcQueen I do what I can, when I can. I *do* give money to feminist causes, I try to support and listen and advocate for those causes. I think that's baseline good behaviour.
But despite all that, I'll never have your lived experience, and even after putting myself out there, I'll never get the same backlash that you will.
I'm trying to answer the question of why you don't get dogpiled in kindness, but really, the answer is still "I don't know," or, "men are bad." :/
