  • The problem is that people keep saying “Not all men” in direct response to women expressing that they don’t feel safe. Same energy as telling a black person “All lives matter”.

    I don’t think this is entirely accurate. The equivalent of an “all lives matter” person is a “men have issues too” person, not a “not all men” person. The first two are from people taking issue with advocacy for one group (black people; women) because they see it as exclusionary of or harmful to their group (white people; men)*. In contrast, “not all men” people are responding to a percieved attack directed at them, not just to being excluded from targeted advocacy. Subtly but meaningfully different, imo.

    * Technically non-black people and non-women, I suppose? But this is the general pattern I’ve recognized.

    It’s kinda bullshit that we have to deal with this, tbh. Consciousness, death, and the nature of existence are basically eldritch concepts beyond the scope of scientific reckoning that provably exist. I am not used to experiencing problems in my life that are truly unsolveable, nor unknowable.

    Thank you for sharing your experience.
