Couldn't agree more, but if you think about it...

I wish we could all come together from all gender identities, nationalities, political affiliations, social strata, educational background, skin color, hair color, favorite music style and belief system and just accepted that while circumstances are different for every one of us, there are a few really bad people, a few really good people and a lot of people that just need to feel like they belong to something in all of those dimensions.

But I guess if we did that, how would the really bad people get their votes or money from us?

I hope toxic men stop being toxic and I'm sorry to everyone that has ever been hurt by a toxic man.

toxic men

Kinda sad and ironic, that the term “toxic masculinity” began as a way to describe how culture manufactures a harmful concept of what it means to be a man, and it seeps into men and damages them like a toxin… but now we use it to mean that the man himself is toxic, undermining the whole notion of thinking of the problem as systemic rather than one of individuals.

Anyway, patriarchy is absolutely demolishing men right now, and the political right is saying “women’s fault” while the left is saying “lmao skill issue”. If we don’t get our shit together and start treating this seriously, we’re gonna have big problems.

Are you under the impression I'm conveying there is no problem?

No, not really. I didn’t downvote you btw.

Edited my original comment to avoid suggesting that.
