I expect people to treat me the way I treat them: I keep my distance and am horrified with everything and everyone.
Unironicaly.

Reading comprehension has taken a total nosedive, or men in these comments are willfully misinterpreting very clear language because they can't stand the idea of being compared to dangerous men.
We know not all men are dangerous. We don't know which men are dangerous. And by the time we find out there isn't much we can do about it.
That's the takeaway.
Half the comments: BASICALLY SAYING ALL MEN ARE RAPISTS
My best friend is a man. He's a wonderful person. I love all the men I've chosen to be in my life. I've identified them as safe. I, too, don't want them to be pre-categorized as potential monsters. But it doesn't matter what I want. Enough men violence or sexually harass women that the gamble is too risky.
And here's the scariest part.
Over half of homicides committed against women come from intimate partners and family members.
Like, even when we find men we think we trust, it's still no better than a coin flip that one day they might violently hurt us, rape us, or kill us.
Put your stupid pride aside for a fucking second and address that there is a problem when how violence against women is normalized and dismissed. Even now in this very thread.
It doesn't mean men can't be harmed in return. I know plenty of abusive women exist out there. That does not negate a single part of this argument. It's another problem, and one we should also take seriously and address.
We should ALL be on team: All Of This Sucks And We Should Do Something About It
If you hand me a box of raisinettes and tell me one of them is a chocolate covered poop nugget, that whole box is going in the trash.
