I need women to understand: men don’t misinterpret or disbelieve you because they’re confused or genuinely looking for evidence.
They do so because you’re a woman and they see you as subhuman and incapable of thought. It’s not that they don’t understand your points, it’s that they can’t comprehend your humanity.
When they say “not all men” it is not a genuine confession of them being worried they’re being misrepresented. They are worried they’re being clocked. Not misrepresented. It is a way to deflect from their own guilt and the fact that you are getting to the truth. These men know their friends are absolutely those men. They know their friends are rapists and misogynists. They remain with them, not because they need “education” but because they are loyal to men more than they will ever be to you.
So stop coddling them or trying to explain or trying to “put it in words they’ll understand.”
They don’t give a shit. Seriously.

Can we please stop preventing ourselves from saying "not all men"? I honestly don't get people who are trying to stop targeted transphobia to transmasc people, yet still say that they're not trying to say "not all men". Trans men are men, right? Not all trans men are terrible right? We also have cis male feminists and allies, right? Are they helping us? So they aren't bad people? Hm.... Well if you said yes to all of these things, lemme tell you something that may surprise you... I know it's gonna be really absurd and you might just freak out about it, but uh... not. all. men.
There. I said it! Not all men! We can't generalize anything about all men, because if we do, trans men will be in that generalization! Then we'll get people posting shit like "omg men are trash especially trans men lmaooo" We shouldn't be blaming men for the way people perceive gendered norms. If we can have a cishet man waving a rainbow flag to support his friends at pride, we can also have women who say that women should stay in the kitchen and live life like a 1900s housewife. People are pretending that the moralities are associated with gender and is black and white, when that isn't the fucking case at all. How about we blame our main offenders: Misogynists? Misogyny can come in many different forms and can be spewed by many different people, even trans people! If we fight against those people instead of blaming one gender for all our problems, we could actually have a chance at making a change and making people have revelations about the reason why they think men are trash. It's like even people within the LGBTQ++ community have a "Girls rule boys drool" attitude towards gender. Damn...
And for the record, I understand why those generalizations are made, because masculine cishet men are the most accepted people in society and their social pressures aren't as bad as everyone else's because men are the ones who made those gendered standards in the first place which caused them to oppress those who were different from them, but times are different and men are being encouraged not to hide how they express or how they feel even if they're cis. Masculinity in society is always expected to be as thick as an eyelash, but men are starting to realize what masculinity means to them on their own without letting society dictate that. Please give those people a chance, and stop making generalizations about them, that way, those stereotypes against them being aggressive, degenerates, airheaded, and egotistical won't be translated into the trans community towards trans men.

So disappointing to see bootlicking women writing paragraphs defending men and often shitting on women, in response to posts related to radical feminism.  “I love men!” “Women/society are horrible to men!” “We don’t deserve men!” Girl, you think a man would stand up in a room full of misogynistic men and wax poetic about how they’re horrible to women, and women are actually incredible? Even in an online space, you’d be hard pressed to find a single man writing a fucking novel standing up for women in response to a thread of misogynistic comments.  Even the nicest ones in your life won’t stand up for women, because when other men are openly misogynistic, the nice ones are twiddling their thumbs while thinking of how nice they are, but they suddenly find their voice when women complain about misogyny.  Wake up.

"not all men" but morgues prefer to hire women.
"not all men" but how many men work in child care?
"not all men" but do you feel safe going to the doctor alone?
"not all men" but most women prefer a female doctor and female nurse.
"not all men" but do you feel safe walking alone at night?
"not all men" but bros before hoes.
"not all men" yet a man wouldn't defend a woman who his friend sexually assaulted.
"not all men" but all women are afraid.
"not all men" but most of them.
is that not bad enough? or does it need to be all men for you to care? does it take every woman, of every age, to be sexually harassed by a male, for you to care?
what's the not all men argument, anyway? what does it achieve? "sorry you got raped but not all of us are like that" if it wasn't such a big amount of you that were like that, you wouldn't need to say that, you wouldn't even think to say that.
if you say all women hate men, not a single woman would bat an eye, not a single woman would say "not all women" because it's such a small amount that genuinely hate men, that no woman would care to defend her name, because they would believe it's an absurd statement.
because of course not all women hate men, we all know that, then why does the "not all men" argument exist?
if it truly wasn't all men, that argument wouldn't exist, because it, in itself, is a huge contradiction.
so when are you gonna realize it is all men? it is all men who watch violent porn, who watch any porn and like it, who have rape fantasies, who sexualize every woman they see, who will rape you if they wouldn't face consequences, who will rape you if they believe you wouldn't tell anyone, who fetishize lesbians, who catcall, who make misogynistic jokes, who would defend their friend over their friend's victim.
as a man, are you offended?
if you are, then which of these apply to you? because if you truly were a good man, you would not be upset, you would believe its the truth.

"Not like other girls" vs. "not all men" — patriarchal division
We all know the popular "not like other girls" (or "not like other women", respectively) trope.
I‘ve been thinking about it a lot recently and what really annoys me is that society teaches young girls and women that girlhood and womanhood are inherently "bad" and hence not being like other girls and women is "good" and "desirable".
While many people believe that it stems from the girls and women themselves, I‘d like to emphasize the impact of growing up in a deeply patriarchal, misogynistic society and system which ultimately influences the steps we take.
The world we live in is built on female oppression, exploitation, rivalry and division. By ensuring that girls and women believe in what the patriarchy teaches us, men ensure their power and authority as we‘re busy trying to "fit in" and prove that we‘re the "good girls/women". Girls and women are conditioned to look down on other girls and women and aspire to be different — to be validated by men that they‘re not this flawed image of girlhood and womanhood.
Once we have internalized these misogynistic beliefs, we start to make our lives revolve around them and also spread them further. That‘s a common technique used by oppressors — divide and conquer.
Now we have lots of girls and women who desperately want to be different from other girls and women, who want to be as close as possible to whatever gets them men‘s approval and highlights that they‘re actually good instead of "flawed" like the rest.
Girls and women are always either "too human" or "not human enough". Whether it‘s looks, interests, personality etc.. We‘re trained to make entire lifestyle choices based on other people’s men’s perception. We‘re forced to balance between idealized womanhood and demonized womanhood.
The solution we’re presented? Putting other girls and women down to "prove" ourselves.
And it‘s not like there aren’t any tools for this, in fact, the patriarchy provides them abundantly.
The beauty & diet industry strive to divide us.
Fun activities which are still "gendered" to this day strive to divide us.
The media, social platforms and advertisements strive to divide us.
Sexualization and objectification strive to divide us.
Relationships with men strive to divide us.
Even when men commit atrocities, they divide girls and women, not men.
On the contrary, men and boys are taught to be united. Not in a coddly way, perhaps, but in a way that gurantees solidarity and immunity when needed.
"Not like other boys/men!" isn‘t a thing, instead, we got "not all men!", a.k.a. "I‘m like other men and because I‘m not bad, they aren’t, either!".
Whilst men are more prone to violence and deliberately inflict emotional and physical pain on others on a much larger scale than women, boys and men aren’t taught that it‘s desirable to be different from other boys and men. Rather, they‘re taught that it‘s good, desirable and admirable.
Instead of aspiring to be different — to be better — their focus is on defending men as a whole and excusing or justifying their misbehavior, whereas we‘re told that we must hold each other accountable for the tiniest missteps, especially when they involve men.
Girls and women are taught that their existence (& humanity) in itself is flawed, undesirable and needs to be strictly regulated, judged and altered.
Boys and men are taught that their existence (& humanity) in itself is self-evident, desirable and worthwhile.
That‘s why I put female solidarity and sisterhood above all else.
That‘s why I proudly say that YES, I am like other girls and women. We aren’t a monolith, we‘re individually unique, and yet we share the experience of being female, and we‘re united in our mere existence as women, and we don’t need to put other women and girls above or beneath us, or allow us to be alienated from one another.

UR "Not all men, you're right, my pedro pascal wouldn't do that" or whoever, PISSES ME OFF.
And then, a victim appears, and you don't believe them, bc of some parasocial relationship with a man you don't know - i'm not saying pedro is an abuser, but he could be.
You use some incel statement and agree with it, for a man. My fucking god, you're already sexually harassing Pedro Pascal and know for your comic effect, you side with incels in a hurting way for every fucking one.
Pedro is a sweetheart, but you guys have this " Depp is hot and cute the ppl arez lying he wouldn't do that" even tho he's proved violent man, so obviously i don't trust no one to make that kind of "humor" bc we know what side you take when someone comes forward.
We can love Pedro without this non sense ! I love him, he's a kind man, a sweet soul, but the thing we don't really know him and we can't pretend that this man his perfection and would never hurt a fly; we don't know him.
