Is it even? My stance on abuse is that it’s all bad and calling attention to any abuse is good for stopping all forms of abuse because it educates large sectors of the population in abuse techniques. I don’t see a feminist trying to explain that male culture breeds this extremely problematic behaviour as anything other than straightforward. This is an example of completely disregarding the point to feel right and avoid fault (the whole “not all men, but way too many” saying)
What I hear when people say “by other men”, I hear that men as a whole give a pass for a lot of toxic bullshit that most men see as normal. Entitlement, gaslighting, homophobia, misogyny, bullying, and a severe lack of sexual education is what the problem is and really it’s up to men to fix it in their own communities.
I mean that or we could pretend to not know what they mean and keep misdirecting their words’ intentions to feel more like victims to avoid solving complex male societal problems that make everyone uncomfortable.
Oh and I know both genders have different large issues but someone pointing out male issues doesn’t suddenly mean our problems are garbage, they’re just pointing men to the largest group of offenders.
A man hits a woman in public, and people think he's the asshole, and some will physically intervene.
A woman hits a man in public, and people will wonder what terrible thing he must have done to provoke her into hitting him, still concluding that he must have been the asshole

You should address the points instead of incorrectly assuming I’m using an alt.

You know how it goes.
