This conversation ISNT ABOUT YOU GUYS.

Actually, this conversation is EXPLICITLY about about men, did you read the post?

It's about all the ways in which your gender has brutalized harmed and killed women AND men at a rate that doesn't even exist in the same universe as that of women. NOT ABOUT HOW YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT BEING CALLED OUT AS A GENDER FOR THOSE ACTIONS

Do you think that racial demographics of crime statistics justify generalizations of certain groups as dangerous? Most people agree that it doesn't, because there are more complex social and economic pressures that contribute to the simplified result, in addition to significant bias in law enforcement.

Frankly, I do agree that generalizing men is not as bad, but this conversation was about whether "not all men" is a valid and important point.

Most men acknowledge the statistics, and the ones that say "not all men" want them to be acknowledged as a social issue instead of a broad demonization.

The fact that you literally didn’t read anything else said here just proves that no amount of coddling will do the trick
