Just watching the news fills me with rage. One example after the next of how men get away with violence against women. To beat a woman is nothing in this society. Yet, every time I have a conversation with a man, the extent of the involvement he has on the issue is - I didn't do it. It wasn't me. I'm not like all men.
Yes, I've heard the refrain before:
I'm not like the rest of them.
I'm not like all men.
I'm different.
Can you hear me laughing?
You're different you say? Prove it. Stand for women. Every single time you hear a man degrade, intimidate or otherwise use the advantage men possess in physical strength - you need to be there. Or, you're no different than the rest.
If you don't fight against men that abuse women, you might as well have punched her yourself. Men have been covering for each other for all of human history. There was a time that beating your wife wasn't even a crime.
So, it's Not all men you say? Well, stamp out the ones that ARE guilty and maybe I'll buy what you're selling.
Not all men - just words to excuse violence against women. Words to avoid responsibility. Just words to show you have no spine. Words that show you're not a man at all.
