Because they themselves know the truth.

This hits on something that's been on my mind lately. Every day you read about some new movie star or politician, athlete or famous person who now faces allegations of sexual misconduct. Every. Single. Day.

Now think how many non-famous men could be rightfully accused every day - that you won't read about, or see in the news. Probably hundreds of thousands.

That's because with few exceptions (I hope anyway, they can't all be like this, can they?) every guy, if given the opportunity to get away with something would take it. A kiss, a grope, coersion, workplace assault, date rape, roofie, a blowjob from a subordinate... right down the line to openly obvious rape. There's exploitation everywhere, opportunists just lying in wait.

And that's why there are so many - because (almost - I'm still clinging to that hope)... every guy would do it.

Sorry to my sweet Dad, sorry to my brothers who I know are good men... I'm sorry to my sweet guy that I love so much... but you need to start policing your brethren. You're the only ones that can do it. When you see someone acting out, when you see someone behaving inappropriately, when you see a situation developing that makes you uncomfortable - you need to speak out. Otherwise you're complicit in every act you don't try to stop.

"NoT aLL mEn"? How about ALL men need to fight this together.

While Fathers: Yes, all men. Not me though.

Queue the post on the front page recently that asked fathers why they didn’t like their daughters boyfriends. Most of them said they were downright disrespectful to their daughter and her family. Ohhh so now you guys recognize what disrespect is? Where did this awareness come from?

Not only that, they described in detail what the source of disrespect was. Spoiler: similar things that we talk about on this sub. But it comes down to the same thing we preach: THEY KNOW, they just don’t give a damn.

And these men protect their daughters because they see them as valuable possessions.

Where is the lie?

My ex who said “not all men are trash” turned out to be the biggest f*ckboy ever and proved that, yes, all men.

SayNad · 2020-07-08T11:08:17+00:00

The ones who shout "NOT ALL MEN" are the ones most like other men (or worse). 100%.

HVM realizes early on that they are different than most men, so they will agree with the "most men" issues. Because they know very well that most men are selfish entitled pricks with huge ego.

T.I. and his daughter anyone?

Few_Direction · 2020-07-08T12:17:05+00:00

Seriously. No accountability whatsoever.

RedzerBoop · 2020-07-08T10:26:19+00:00

So there are no hvm at all? Then why are we even trying

Hipster-Aurora · 2020-07-08T14:07:17+00:00

My dad may have some chauvinistic opinions but thank God he was never like this. Even if I had wanted to date in HS I think he knew I was smart enough to make my own decisions.

Unfortunately my best friend's husband acts like this with their five year old. A kindergartner!!! He himself has a long history of flings and cheating so he's a quite the hypocrite. I don't say much because it's not my business but it's obvious the girl only pretends to care about boys because her dad overreacts to it and she thinks it's amusing.

Growing up my mom loved shows like Law & Order, First 48, etc. And they'd both point out how realistic/easily fallen into some of those crime situations were

LCM75360 · 2020-07-08T11:12:29+00:00

Mothers of sons:: please please please please please don't be like those men. I'm trying to raise my son right. He and I are very close and talk a lot. I've told him about things that have happened to me and how it's effected me and how it made me feel. I'm teaching him respect and boundaries and empathy and hoping like hell he's better to women than some men have been to me.

Most fathers I've met are EXACTLY like this.

StormyL · 2020-07-08T11:39:35+00:00

My dad straight up told me if a man ever treats me how he treats women, I need to get away. Theyll acknowledge their behavior, but only when it's to keep their own daughter from getting hurt.

Parents also warn children not to get in any strangers car, even though statistically it would be safe to. Children dont understand nuance or have the critical thinking ability and life experience to make accurate judgment calls. Most parents prepare them for the worst case scenario.

I was talking to my Dad and uncle the other day about why I dislike Trump and one of the points was how he just isnt a good human being. My first point being how he said you could just grab women by their pussies and they'll do anything you want.

They actually said it was locker room talk and all men do that. I genuinely wanted to throw-up.

whitedumpling · 2020-07-08T14:12:34+00:00

Oof, that hit different and a little too close

TeaMan001 · 2020-07-14T15:32:38+00:00

I've always been in the camp of most men, it's about wading through the bad guys and looking for a good one
