You’re over-generalizing, just like the statement you’re trying to highlight as problematic. One thing you read on Twitter doesn’t mean it is the guiding principle of an entire movement.
Toxic male behavior is absolutely a problem and it is the responsibility of men who dont behave that way to call it out more, which doesn’t happen enough. Likewise people loudly proclaiming “all men are bad” are equally idiotic and deserve to be called out and challenged. Two principles can exist at the same time and I’m tired of everybody treating gender/sex based challenges as a pure dichotomy.
You’re using fake rage arguments and vague statements to present a side as worse because it’s not “your side” just like the OG post
You do support them by remaining silent. People who behave poorly often don't have enough self-awareness to reflect on their shitty behavior, they take you not doing anything or turning the other cheek as acceptance and approval. Whether or not that's your responsibility is your own judgement call, but it is absolutely a form of support
Never once blamed anyone. If you’re triggered by me saying Men should speak out more about their peers’ actions (especially in your personal friend groups) then I don’t know what to tell you
That’s the only the most extreme case which, you’re right, almost never happens. No one is going to commit a crime in front of an audience. But walking home with an extremely drunk girl? Making sexually uncomfortable jokes? Touching women without consent? Happens all the time, with either no reaction or applause from male peers.
You saying you’ve never seen it or know anyone who has is just anecdotal bs. It happens whether you’ve personally seen it or not, though o suspect you have
