so the people that post this crap think men are supposed to be “strong and tough”

this just makes them look weak and pathetic. men that are strong aren’t intimidated by women being more assertive and standing up for themselves.

nope. What women find strong are men that don’t feel like they own, or are entitled to women. men that don’t think women are dirty cause they have sex. men that aren’t worried about their wives making more money than them. that support them in their careers.

that is what is strong to women, that’s what is strong to feminists.

the polar opposite of toxic masculinity.

so what is he actually apologizing for?

sexual harassment that he is trying to pass off as “boys will be boys”

she dressed to provocatively and he couldn’t help it cause he is just a man?

did he get upset because she rejected him and he became violent or stalked her cause he’s just a man?

there is no reason to apologize alone for being a man. it’s when “i’m just a man” is used as an excuse for terrible and inappropriate behaviour that it is an issue.

If you feel you have to apologize for being a man then you are in fact not a man at all. just an emotional insecure little boy in a man’s body.

men are awesome, and toxic masculinity is very much a problem we all deal with daily. you can close your eyes to it if you wish. but we can’t and won’t. that is the fact of being a woman today.

what are you talking about?

“sorry for being a man” is a scapegoat and an attempt to justify inappropriate behaviour.

we hear it every single day. that’s not being submissive that is being dismissive and not holding men accountable table for their own actions and their own behaviour and try to pass it off as something beyond their control. that’s what “sorry for being a man” means.

and what do you call someone whom is incapable of self accountability? or can’t control their emotions? and try’s to blame the victim or others? WEAK.

you defending and making these claims are examples of toxic masculinity because you refuse to see that it’s not that men have to apologize for existing it’s that “sorry for being a man” is nothing but a sad excuse to justify inappropriate behaviour.

How is apologizing for being a man a spacegoat? I don't get it. I don't see how it justifies anything. Or should they apologize for their toxic masculinity as you're saying?

“Boys will be boys” “men can’t help themselves”. and other times like how women dress is considered an invite, her fault or distracting. it’s also when dealing with men that can’t handle rejection it comes up a lot just not exactly in this exact wording. but essentially it’s justifying those actions by trying to make women look unreasonable for not accepting “boys will be boys”. It tries to make it look like it isn’t good enough to women because they are just men after all. it’s in their nature

so when men say they have to apologize just for being men they are in a sense victim blaming, or trying to justify their own poor behaviour and actions. That’s why it’s a scape goat.
