Is anyone else sick of seeing this float around?

Okay, so what it says is great and sweet and true and all that.

But I’m really going to scream the next time I see someone reblog it like “ZOMG WHAT AN AMAZING BOY PERSON.”



First of all, this post reads to me as a cry of “OH HEY LOOK AT ME, A BOY WHO SAYS THE RIGHT THING ABOUT WOMEN HERE. AREN’T I AN AWESOME HUMAN BEING? LOOK AT HOW PROGRESSIVE I AM.”

Zach Lilley, I am sorry if this is not the thought you were trying to convey, and I am certainly not saying that it was what you meant behind your post. I am just staying that the above is the impression I personally get upon first glance of your tweet. If I’m the only person that feels like this, maybe it’s a me thing, it just seems like something that goes without putting on twitter/tumblr and the fact that you felt the need to do so indicates some kind of need for validation which just feels like it makes the comment insincere.

Second of all. Yes. This is the ideal response. And if you actually feel like that then that’s great and all but you don’t get a fucking cookie for being a decent guy. That’s just how people should be. Rewards like the copious amounts of pats on the back and “omg what a guy lets get him lots of notes/friends/likes/arbitrary internet cookies for being such an upstanding manbeing.” should be for EXCEPTIONAL behavior, not what-should-be-everyday expected behavior.



Seriously guys stop patting this guys back for doing something that ought to be seen as ordinary human behavior.
