The message itself has always been called out for repeatedly needing an explanation for people to realise they’re actually in support of it.
If the phrase constantly produces this level of misunderstanding, maybe the message needs to be tuned or changed so people can immediately understand what it’s trying to say instead of producing another gender war in the comments that helps no one and takes away from the underlying message.
Well not all men obviously. I'm talking about the abusers, the rapists, those who harm women. No not you Timmy. Why are you even upset, if you aren't one of the men I'm even talking about.
This shit harms protecting women. The terms are obvious and known at face value. You can't say "all x are y, but some of the x aren't who we're talking about"
It's a contradiction in terms that provides ammunition to men who want to play "more aggrieved and more logical". They'll take a screenshot and talk amongst themselves about the other side dealing in absolutes and insulting innocent men.
So many people who label themselves as progressives have the worst fucking messaging and are so far up on their high horse they absolutely refuse to accept any other point of view. I'm a progressive but its constantly this same stupid shit. Overcorrecting trying to do the "right" thing while actively harming the cause they claim to support. Literally just instilling to young men they are viewed as predators because of their genders. Women absolutely have it more difficult than men, but its not a competition, and I'm so tired of self righteous dickheads who just want to yell about how they're right and you're a scumbag piece of shit if you disagree when they dont give a fuck about making the world better. they just want to act morally superior without putting in any work or effort to change anything.
I’ve been on the planet too long and imo, I’ve never seen so many men enter the conversation until this dumbed down phrase “it’s all men” arrived.
The vast majority seem to be entering the conversation to make it all about themselves. How it’s “offensive towards men”.
But, a portion are staying on the topic long enough to clue in. More and more are using their platform to promote it. Which is bringing in more men.
I have never seen this many men and boys join in. So, the short term “divide” with what they perceive as offensive language, is what will end up making some of these men stew with it long enough to finally let it sink in.
Men would keep ignoring it if they thought it was just about violence against women and girls. I think it’s been working out quite brilliantly. Definitely a big dramatic divide, but many more men are clueing in for sure! There will always be bad ones. But with all the good ones on the topic helping out, women and girls will at least have more allies than when these guys stayed silent or unaware of the topic.
Message is a message. Sometimes the message accurately reflects reality. If simple truths are that bothersome, that just indicates mental immaturity on the homo “sapiens” ginormous ego.
