I need you guys to understand that there was actually a eugenics campaign to get rid of people with downs syndrome. You know, the group of people the word retard usually referred to. Oh you didn't? You didn't care, you didn't bother to look it up? You just use the word? 1/2

After a man broke into my house and raped me when I was 20, many of male friends got VERY emotional about it and I felt like I was babysitting THEM instead of being supported. Except one who came over, night after night, and slept on my couch so I could feel safe in my room.

He never expressed that he was there to hurt anyone, or made me babysit his anger. Instead, he made sure I wasn't alone, that I had backup if the man came back, and that I was believed. He stayed until my roommate came home from vacation.

If you're reading this and want to retweet it, I'm fine with it. I know sometimes with personal stories like this I get worried the person won't be able to handle a lot of attention/retweets but I'm not in a place to be harmed by it.

I am so sorry your mom couldn't swallow her feelings to support you. Hope your uncle tripped over a rock and landed on his nose, at the least.

I think violence is easier, too. It's a messier, faster solution than slowing down and listening, or even just not talking about it at all and being there.

He went on to be a teacher who cares very deeply about his students. I have no doubt that every student in his class benefits from having him as a teacher.

Big teddy bear men are some of the BEST men! He's probably a gem in whatever community he found.

Glad to see the scare quotes around friend, hope you've long since seen the last of that one. I can't imagine inviting someone's assaulter to their graduation, that's so fucked up 💜

Nope, they just don't want to drink alone. Men go to bars with to watch sports together and to drink. Men go to bars to play pool with each other. They did both of these things before women were allowed in bars. By your logic, men were only doing these things to fuck each other.

That's some toxic shit from mom, WOW. I hope she managed to pull her head out of her ass, eventually.

Wrong. People go to the bar to drink because they don't want to drink alone.

<3 I wish you did, too. I hope tweeting about it gives men an idea of ways to be a good friend and ally in this situation.
