AFAIC - any male who responds in this thread is one of them
(or has some guilt about it) or they wouldn't feel the burning need to respond. If they're not the type of man that behaves that way - then it wouldn't bother them to read that SOME men do. No one said they all do.


I disagree with this framing, because it's a summary dismissal of all possible discussion. In essence, it's saying "either you're silent, or you're guilty."

It doesn't bother me at all to read that some men behave a certain way, because they do behave a certain way (in this particular case, they behave like assholes). But it does bother me to have a viewpoint excluded on the basis of sex.
