I hear, not all but alot of men claim they are the more logical of the sexes but if that’s the case why consistantly do illogical things? - like not hold each other accountable when blatantly trying to intimidate, oppress and assualt woman/children? For a progressive and healthy world isn’t that counter-intuitive when you help the division within the community instead of working together and going after the real enemy? Elites/mega corporations/corrupt government etc? Also do y'all know that some of you or ur friends/family are being groomed by other men in power?

Whom are you asking? The name of the community is Ask Men, but you can't literally ask the collective. Because Men aren't a collective mind. If you narrowed it down to specific questions about specific men in specific situations, I bet that the answers would be more apparent.

Put another way, I wonder how much your idea of what it's like to be and function as a man in the world matches my experience of it. I'm just one man who never claimed we are more logical than women. How would I hold others accountable? How would I change them? (Trying to change others always works out so well, after all.)

Just as a for-instance, the whole "locker room talk" thing— what am I supposed to do about it? In day-to-day life, most boors aren't cartoon villains, like a certain famous leader. But, in my experience, the cartoonish ones get that way because they want to have sex. And they get it. They commodify women and sex because they somehow can get all the women and sex that they want. That's success by their standards; they feel that they have something that women want. If everybody is getting what they want, why would those men listen to anything that I have to say about it? Furthermore, there's no benefit besides the satisfaction of doing the right thing. The outcome is that I would get pushed out of the social scene by the men and women, because, well, those men do have what the women want, be it popularity, wealth, height, confidence, et cetera.

As for banding together to go after the elites, how is that a gendered thing?
