Dear “Not All Men” douchebros

ohsocialjustice:

stfueverything: Unless and until ALL WOMEN NEVER EXPERIENCE ANY kind of sexism, misogyny, harassment, assault, violence, rape etc at the hands of men EVER AGAIN, then your whiny-ass “but not all men are like that” bullshit is not valid. You don’t like other men ruining it for the good guys? Then fucking deal with the assholes who are ruining your reputation, not the victims of the assholes. Until Islamic Terrorism is completely gone, all muslims are terrorists. Until women are never over-emotional, all women are irrational. Until black people never steal anything, all black people are thieves. Until all murder is completely gone from society, all human beings are murders. HAVE YOU FIGURED OUT THAT YOU’RE A FUCKING MORON YET, OR DO YOU NEED MORE EXAMPLES OF YOUR STUPID LOGIC?

I don’t see how the second comment fits in with the first. That isn’t the logic in the first comment.

He/She didn’t say “until all violence against women has ended, all men are violent” she is probably pointing out that thousands of women have had their say in the #yesallwomen tag and vast majority of responses they get are ‘Not all men are like that!!!“.

Yeh, us women know all men are not like that. The problem is, TOO MANY men are like THAT. And instead of listening to what these women (and some men) have written in the tag men are feeling like they are being blamed. Instead of having a go at the men that caused these women to feel like this, they turn this on the victim instead, blaming them for sharing their experiences. Too many people are defending the men that did these things. Well you know what? If these tags make you feel uncomfortable then maybe you should look into the reason for that.

Ironically the response from many men just enforces the need for a tag like #yesallwomen, if the majority of men had responded politely or had been considerate the tag would have fell on its head, men giving hateful replies just fuelled the tag.

"Not all men are like that” is an excuse to ignore the facts, it just sounds like 'get over it’ or 'not my problem’.

Do you want logic?

60% of the homeless in the US are men - "Well, not all men are like that"

(Translation: who cares about some homeless men, less not look into the reasons why more men than women live on the streets.)

Men more often lose custody battles over their children - “not all men do”

(Translation: there is a minority of men that get custody, so it isn’t impossible, the rest of the men probably aren’t trying)

Some men have been raped by women - “not all women are like that”

(Translation: The fact that the majority of women don’t rape men means that when women do rape men it is a non-issue, it doesn’t even need looking at)

…

Every women has been harassed by a man - “Not all men are like that”

(Translation: Just because there are some men that don’t harass women, it isn’t a problem for men to deal with, it’s not like men can do anything to change it, (Instead I will just harass women who complain about being harassed by men because that will get my point across)).
