    If the shoe fits…

    For a while I too was like “not all men”, but then I realized that muddying discourse with such rhetoric is counter-productive.

    I know that I care about the rights of people who are not like me, and any talk about “men should wake up and start caring about X” doesn’t detract from that. In fact I agree with it, so I stopped complaining about such sweeping statements.

      If the shoe fits…

      If the shoe fits? Seriously? Fucking hell, mate. Would you say the same about minorities or people of colour? If the shoe fits and some of them are doing evil things then let’s stop complaining about branding them all bad they all just me the same, right? Those are your principles? Please tell me that’s not the case.

      Why can’t you simply say that some men are bad some men are good but I judge everyone on their actions and not naively on what they are?
