And the kind of man to do both is probably the same kind.

They're the conduits of toxic masculinity which harms society as a whole. We should work to dismantle that, whilst supporting those who have experienced direct violence, which will benefit everyone. Focusing on the victims of violence doesn't seem to be dismantling the kyriarchy.

I'm not trying to say "men are the real victims" because I see there are two sets of victims. 1) everyone, because society has issues 2) the people who have been on the receiving end of violence Both sets are real, but I wasn't suggesting ignoring the 2nd to focus on the 1st

And I was absolutely not suggesting that "the real victims" were those in the first group but not the second. If anything, the ones in the second group are "the real victims". But it seems that too many people say it's on the victims to have done more.

It's on everyone, but especially those who have systemic power, to dismantle the system that causes toxic masculinity. Being masculine, as far as I can tell, isn't the problem. But having male privilege and not confronting toxic masculinity is.
