    Hmmm. I think this is a problem. It would make it very hard to counter sexist narratives that women are moody or irrational or sluts or whatever. Would you say to such a claim. "That's fine. I'm not a moody irrational slut so I know you're only addressing the women who are,"https://twitter.com/simple81/status/1050234944952430595 …

    Agreed! Men are great! 95% are stellar humans but the majority of people assaulting other people are male! You can't really ask for a way to fix the problem without addressing men. When I see a sign in a bathroom that says "ladies, stop flushing tampons "I know it doesnt mean me

        Does the sign imbue in her some deep sense of responsibility to police her female friends' tampon disposal habits? Strangers? Does she engage in dialogue on the topic regularly to help solve the tampon flushing crisis? How does she atone for her share of the collective guilt?

        Has she *personally* apologized to the (male, no doubt) plumber who had to deal with the problems created by her tampon-flushing sisters?

        Perhaps, but calling out all us other women for our tampon flushing sins is tiring work and leaves little time or energy for personal apologies, let alone reflection.

        Ah, yes. Emotional labour. Exhausting and unpaid.

        People are normally content to point out the higher male propensity to violence but when you point out this is best explained from an evolutionary standpoint by the ‘Greater Male Variability Hypothesis,’ (more prodigies, more idiots) it suddenly becomes controversial to examine.
