    I’m sorry you took my message as “men are the victim” but that wasn’t my intent, I was saying this statement may be poignant and striking but it does serve to other and make an enemy of that other.

    I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole with you because I don’t believe men are being unfairly picked on nor do I condone or support or act as an apologist for rape in spite of your belief.

    I know you’re misunderstanding what I said if you believe I make any statement about the person in the picture.

    I appreciate you elaborating but you make a lot of assertions about my beliefs and mindset that honestly idk if I have the energy on a lazy sunday to want to argue.

    Did you know that alienating men and making them feel like bad people for things they themselves didn’t do doesn’t do anything to help anyone?

    I had a good friend who turned out to have murdered his girlfriend. He did not confide that in us. We weren’t just hanging out with some guy who murdered just girlfriend because we were ok with that. All of us changed our view and opinion of this person and not a one has remained their acquaintance after it came out.

    I bet I know someone who has raped someone. I wouldn’t willingly associate with them if I knew, and they’re likely not going to out themselves. I know that none of the people I know would continue to associate with someone like that if we knew.

    People hide shit, people do awful things, othering and hating only makes out groups and creates greater rifts.

    This picture makes a pretty good point BUT when lodged as a bomb at half the population it’s like punching a lifeguard in the mouth.
