Men who respond to tweets about men's horrific behavior with something like, "I don't do that. I am not like those men."
Let's talk about that.
Story time!
This bear scenario really epitomizes so much of men's problems:
-Men assume women are stupid, all informed, and naive.
-Men do not understand how dangerous/annoying men are to women.
-Men want women to die with bear because she didn't pick him.
I agree.
If you change the question to "if armed, would you rather encounter a bear or a man?" I bet a lot of women would change their answer.
Women don't want to kill bears.
This bear thing has shattered the narrative that women expect men to protect them.
Men cling to this as THE reason that women need them: all their negative shit is balanced by that one time they think they'll protect us.
But we just collectively announced this isn't the case.
In terms of this argument "men built the world by themselves so women should be grateful" (false btw), how were girls supposed to build and invent when they were married off and pregnant at 13? And, pregnant again at 14. And, again at 15. In repeat. And, then dead by 23.
