How do they get that way? I look at my innocent little boy, and ugh! I have taught him about consent, and will repeatedly discuss this with him. But is that enough? |
I do think if we can hammer it into men, they will get it. I dont know why it seems so difficult though. Why do men do this? Why is this horror so common? It reminds me of the Germaine Greer quote, "Women have very little idea of how much men hate them." |
And then what? Where do we go from there? I’m a survivor. He’s been so great with my PTSD. I don’t know how I could reconcile that with an inappropriate touch or worse. |
As if he or any man would acknowledge or admit doing something abusive..... |
Honestly, I would want to know. I wouldnt want to be with him. I couldnt reconcile staying with an abuser. But he is that way whether he tells your or not, so I would want to know. I'm sorry you are in this position. |
| He's such an ass on twitter, this isn't all that surprising. |

Whenever I would open Twitter and see a celeb trending, I thought it was because they died.
Now when I see a celeb trending, especially male, I know that it's because he's turned out to be a perv. 2017 has been a hell of a year. |
+1 Neil pretty much embodies the idea of mansplaining. Super annoying. |
|
Go ahead and tar NDT if you want. It's the right time for it.
Just want to put this out there -- on its face, her story has some issues. |
Uh, isn't he scientist-splaining? That's his job, right? I mean it isn't like he responds to women differently than men who ask him questions in his field as far as I can tell. |
its something that we've (me and hubby) keep talking about. what stuff he knows about friends, him trying to recollect if he's harassed. thankfully he's never assaulted a woman. he actually cited this very great tweet: https://twitter.com/wkamaubell/status/928840596676055040 |
this made me think of a month ago, a coworker of my sis said that her boss (a man) in frustration said to her the world would be much better off w/out women. i'm happy to say she quit that job. |
Beware the DCUM cheerleaders. What good would come out of asking a question like this? If the answer is "yes" now you've opened pandora's box. Are you prepared to deal with this? If the answer is "no," you're going to have to deal with the fallout of a super offensive question. If you can't trust him enough not to feel the need to ask these kinds of questions, why are you with him? |
Dp. I asked my husband even though I've known him since we were teenagers. Of course he said he's never abused women. He didn't get mad because he understands how women might be concerned that all men are gross pigs. |

Pretty soon #I did it, too and #what are you gonna do about it? will be trending on twitter.
The backlash will be the realization and acceptance that most men do/have done this kind of shit and there's nothing anyone can do or say to stop it. Before long, it will be our husband or father or son accused and women will start to minimize and cover up. Again. |
