The Normalization Of Men Being Treated Like Monsters Is Awful

I was on the bus the other day and this old guy took a seat next to a
young woman. The woman IMMEDIATELY got up and went to go sit on
another seat (which was next to a woman).

What really outraged me was the complete lack of shame that was
displayed by her. She didn't even wait 1 or 2 minutes to make it look
less obvious. Because in her mind, this behavior is ok because " men
aren't a marginalized group " or some BS like that.

And this is something I see almost every time I take public transport.
Young women refusing to sit next to old men.

Why is this behavior considered ok in society? I live in a very
liberal city. Had this been an interracial situation (A black person
who sat next to a white person), nobody would have dared even thinking
about doing that. And if they had, it would have turned into a local
news story. It's almost like.......people don't have an independent
brain that is capable of forming new thoughts. They need to be mass
programmed by the media/culture to know what is rude and what isn't.

I see the same thing happening whenever men on Reddit complain about
being treated like creeps by women even though they haven't done
anything. The standard response is: " Well women live life with more
risk than men so they're generally more watchful and paranoid. Don't
take it seriously. ".

But if its a minority complaining about white people locking their car
doors whenever he walks by........that's a legitimate issue. You could
use the same reasoning there btw (" People are just watchful of their
cars ").

Whenever men complain about this kind of discrimination, we're told
that we're in the wrong for even complaining about this. Like we need
to lectured as to why we're being treated this way and why its " OK "
for men to continue being treated this way. " bEcUz mEn hAvE aLl tHe
