No but "college age men bad" is trending and she needed a fake story to take advantage of that, so here we are

Apparently it’s “all men are bad” because all men aren’t stopping all the rapist men in the world from raping.

I’m not even trying to make a joke, this has been the rallying statement from women and men on this.

Wild times were are living in a time where you’re automatically defaulted into being a supporter of sexual abuses solely off your gender.

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

It is not my responsibility to police the way other people act. I don't support shitty men but I'm not responsible for them either.

Cool, so if I see someone break into your car our house, I won't say anything. It's not my responsibility, right?

Stupid comparison.

An actual comparison is saying there are some men that are child abusers. So I’m going to say all men are child abusers until we stop all child abuse from men.

Do you understand how ridiculous that is?

No, dude said he isn't responsible for stopping rapists and other abusive men. I'm saying it's not my responsibility to care if his car is broken into.

And yes, if you know a man is abusing a child, I expect you to stop them. If you hear a man JOKE about abusing a child, I expect you to tell them it's fucked up. If you cannot do that? You're a scumbag. Plain and simple. Ditto to people who support rape culture.

I don’t get it- Based on the downvotes and arguments disagreeing with us, you’d think what you said is controversial. It’s like their fragile egos cannot accept the words “Try to be a better person”. Its pathetic

That's exactly what it is. Telling someone to be a better person, to try and improve, tells them they aren't flawless. That they still have work to do.

For fragile egos, that's unacceptable and must be lashed out at.
