    I don’t even want to post this because it’s bad for my mental health to engage on this. But as a dude, it’s my unfortunate responsibility to clean my own damn house apparently…

    You said this conversation makes them hate men more. So you think they already hated men, for all the horrible things some men do to them like rape. And then you think this conversation somehow makes it worse?

    It’s like complaining that the guy who rear ended your car also spilled your coffee. Like, I get that spoiled coffee isn’t great, but given the scope of the actual problem it’s stupid to think it makes it worse.

    I’m not sure you understand the privilege that it takes to think that this conversation about bears makes women hate men MORE. It just shows that you don’t understand how much they deserve to hate those guys already. The problem is SO MUCH WORSE than some stupid meme. The meme just gives voice to the actual problem. It lets women relate to each other and bond over their shared painful experiences.

    If this meme seems like a big deal to you, that just shows that you were able to ignore the actual big deal that is molestation and abuse. That’s your privilege I mentioned.
