    One problem with the #NotAllMen crap is that while not all men commit violence against women, men as a category *benefit* from it. The culture of chivalry, which gives men individual power over women’s safety, depends on the bad men.https://twitter.com/Slate/status/1372287776381624340 …

        This is not to diss individual men who do things like walk women home, etc. I have often been grateful when men help me when other men are being violent. But it gives them power over me to be my “protector”. And some men attach strings to that gratitude.

        We see it again in these Atlanta shootings. People are furious with the sheriff because he so casually sympathized with men’s “struggle”, as if women are somehow the victimizers and not the victims when some dude uses horniness as an excuse to hurt women.

        And then men expect cookies because they don’t harass or hurt or kill, which again, is because they get to compare themselves to men who do. Whereas the minimum standard for how women act towards men is, well, let’s just say a lot more is expected.

        Again, I recognize it is frustrating to be a well-meaning man and feel blamed for this. But I am not blaming you, so much as pointing out how you benefit from women’s lives being circumscribed in this way. And chivalry is not taking responsibility. Fighting for change is.

        Helping women stay safe without expecting anything in return is a good starting place. But joining with women to demand justice and safety for all — especially those who are most vulnerable— is better.

        I like @chelseahartisme’s take: “thank fuck it’s not all men.” It’s obviously not all men, and yet here we are. It is enough men to be a problem. (+ agree with your thread, thank you.)https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeSNxpj1/
