As a boy I was always told I had to take responsibility for my actions. If you do something wrong, it’s only right that you suffer the consequences. But what if you feel like you’re being reprimanded for something you’re not directly responsible for?

Well, men, as an homogenous mass, are increasingly being called out for their behaviour and blamed for causing the mental and physical suffering of various different sections of society. As such, many men now feel they are being unfairly targeted simply for being male.

The predictable response to men being portrayed negatively in the media, and beyond, comes via the #NotAllMen trope. It’s quickly become the go-to moniker of those determined to distance themselves from stories of sexism, violence or sexual abuse. So, if someone on Twitter writes about 'sexist men', a legion of (often anonymous) accounts pile in to reply "Not all men".
