Men (#NotAllMen) will target women in all forums and mediums, expecting and demanding to be noticed. As an example, I was playing online poker when a man in the same room decided to hit on me. Relentlessly. I didn't engage him, just left his advances unanswered.

After about 5 minutes of incessant comments about my appearance, and demanding I respond to him, he told me to f*** off, I was too fat for him anyway, and he logged out of the room. He felt ENTITLED to me and my attention. When I didn't give it to him, he attacked my appearance

I normally have a half dozen unsolicited messages in my instagram inbox. Men messaging me asking to get to know me better. I ignore them, and some get the hint and don't send again, but more than half continue to message me. The longer I go without responding

the angrier they get with me. Some will start hurtling threats as well as attacking my physical appearance, even though they initially messaged me BECAUSE of my physicality. It is so common, I don't even recognize how wrong it is some days.

Many (
#notallmen) men believe women are here to service them. We are not allowed to say no, we are not allowed to choose not to speak to them once they've set sights on us. And many who are like this won't recognize themselves in these posts.Show this thread -
This goes back to allowing young men to believe
#boyswillbeboys. Well, boys will eventually be men and this http://has.to .stop. Don't mock your buddy when he gets shot down, don't encourage him to try again, and don't team up with him in harassing us. Tell him to stop.Show this thread -
And it goes beyond hitting on women. When a woman disagrees with a man's point of view (
#notallmen) they will belittle them from an appearance stand point. My personal favourite is being told to go make them a sandwich. They do not react this way to other men.Show this thread -
It has been instilled that women are lesser, and we need to cow to their superiority. We cannot say no, and we cannot have a differing POV. Somehow, their egos have become so fragile that the thought of a woman not abiding by their rules in a game they have held power in for so

long is enough to send them over the deep end. A woman rejecting your advances or disagreeing with you his her right. She has the right to choose who she allows in her circle, and you have no right to force your way in.

So as decent men, when you see this happening, interject. Reel in your buddies. Be an ally. Don't just stand by and watch uncomfortably. That gives them license to continue, and apparently they won't stop until a man tells them to. Be that man.
