My problem with #yesallwomen, is that as a male I get generalized as having the same outlook as the guy who murdered people.
Wait, how is that?
Saying that all women have faced issues like these is not the same thing as saying that all men do it.
I for example know many men who would not do it, but have also been sexually harassed (for daring to walk on a street or for using a bus for example) by totally different men. Not even getting into stuff I get for being a lesbian, because some men automatically take it to mean I hate them personally.
Men totally face sexism and issues too. But it is pretty annoying when you can't discuss issues women face without (some) men making it all about them.
Here's an example
"#YesAllWomen because if you're too nice to them you're "leading them on" & if you're too rude you risk violence. Either way you're a *****."
Who is them? Who do you risk violence from? Yes I'm asking this facetiously, but the point is it pretty clearly defines an "us and them" idealism which is simple generalization.
Not only that, this is on the back of a guy so out of touch with reality he thought murder was a reasonable response to being told no. And you wonder why any self respecting man would want to distance them self from such an ideal.
then there's this:
"An exasperated woman remarked to me, ?What do they want ? a cookie for not hitting, raping, or threatening women??.."
Of course not. But not to be generalized with the minority perpetrating these horrendous acts is apparently too much to ask.
"Women are afraid of being raped and murdered all the time and sometimes that?s more important to talk about than protecting male comfort levels."
Agreed, but by that same token you demand all men take responsibility for something very few of them have perpetrated. How the fuck is that fair? It's not but apparently that doesn't matter because if you were born with a penis you have to suffer with the burden of the crimes of others with a penis.
I mean it's not like feminists answer for other feminists that say things like "I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig." (-- Andrea Dworkin) or start groups like the one known as SCUM (Society For Cutting Up Men, started by Valerie Solanas)
Imagine that, having to take responsibility for things that you aren't responsible for? Couldn't possibly piss someone off.
