Just saw this while scrolling on fedi being posted by this user: @Rasta@zeroes.ca

Black text on a pink background reading: 'There is no "gender war." Women didn't take away men's right to vote. Women didn't ban men from education or property. Women didn't write laws controlling men's bodies. Women didn't build systems that stripped men of their freedom. The imbalance never ran both ways. @sheinspiresstrength'

Well you know the saying, women's concerns are rape, murder, abuse, men worry about getting laughed at.

    I had a man—an "ally", no less; the kind of man who wore a "pussy hat" to a protest on behalf of women!—tell me in all seriousness that, and I quote directly, "respect is like oxygen for men".

    The aggravating thing is that on blank face they're correct - but they never see the unspoken corollary of "And no one else ever has this need"

    Like fuck me you're not special mate you're just human

    Yeah, the implication that women don't need respect like men do was really fucking gross.

    If he'd even said something like "men need respect like oxygen, and the way men express and expect respect is different from the way women expect and express respect causes friction" it might have been defensible. But he didn't.
