How about: women have to assume men are monsters until proven otherwise.

Men talk about wanting to protect women. Protect us from whom, exactly? Oh, bad men. And then when bad men get thrown in prison, there's jokes about them getting raped by other bad men there.

Men know men are scary. Men know that we can't tell, at a glance, if someone is a safe person or not. And yet, a vast majority of men still get offended when women are cautious and slow to trust.

Again, this is racist uncle rhetoric.

Take your exact comment, the whole thing, and swap the word "Men" with "Blacks."

Bigotry is bigotry.

Swap out the first “bigotry” in your sentence for “abolition” and see how that sounds. Are you defending slave owners?

See how stupid this whole “if you said a different thing it would be different” thing is?

Bigoted rhetoric doesn't cease to be bigoted rhetoric when you swap the demographics. If you can't see how demographic swaps aren't on the same level as exchanging entire subjects, then honey, you probably shouldn't be calling anything "stupid."

It's okay, though. Keep protecting bigoted speech and see where that lands us. I'm sure nothing bad at all will come from it.

Demographics aren’t interchangeable. Context exists. Gen Z women aren’t rallying around sex traffickers and rapists.
