This guy suggesting “men’s curfew” again

Guys like that just play the old white-knight game, which some women (exaggeratedly so, if my sensitivity is to be any guide) identify with any manner of 'nice guy' act. It's basically ingratiating themselves with women by hating on fellow men or by depreciating other men — and making themselves look good by contrast. Any stereotype attributing that sort of behaviour to women (as in the pick-me girl that supposedly disses other women in order to improve her own chances, which I almost never see actually happening in real life) is patently misguided because it's a clear spécialité de la maison of us men. It's one of the default or at least most intuitive male reproductive strategies. Often subconscious.

I do wonder if I’d be a “pick me” in his eyes for daring to call out misandry when I see it.

A few men have called me that and told me that I “don’t speak for women”. If I don’t speak for women, then these men certainly fucking don’t.

(I love men; just hate misandrists in case it was unclear)

They're just disingenuine, as if somebody ever said that women should be put a curfew lol

As if it was in anyway reasonable and realistically doable anyway

Yeah, makes perfect sense, blame and punish 100% of men for 1%'s behaviour, given 0.01% possibility it will impact on women.

Men like that typically have sins they are paying penance for. I keep "Male Allies" at arms length for that reason.

Nobody ever prescribed a curfew for women but why should men be responsible for womens' safety. Women should be tesponsible for their own safety.

It’s like getting mad at someone because they had the audacity to recommend sunscreen at the beach in the middle of summer, then not wearing sunscreen because they recommended it, then blaming them for getting sunburned.

It’s dumb as hell to confidently walk into danger simply because you shouldn’t have to worry about being preyed upon.

Rapists shouldn’t rape, killers shouldn’t kill, thieves shouldn’t rob people, but they do, and it’s why people lock their doors at night.

I go out after dark all the time, the boogeyman hasn't got me yet. Living in constant fear is a choice. How are you gonna be sTrOnG aNd iNdEpEnDeNt when you're afraid of everything?
