Man here. Don’t give a shit.

Every time someone says “I don’t trust men by default because of <all the bad shit that’s happened in their life>”, some shithead has to pipe up with either “*I’m not like that!*” or “*Hey, don’t lump me in with those guys!*”

Guess what?

* They’re perfectly aware that not all men are like that. Enough men *are* that it’s not worth it to these women to give men the benefit of the doubt any more.

* You’re not the center of attention.

* It’s not directed at YOU.

Fuck.

SRS, I’m glad I found you. It’s good to know there are other men out there who *don’t* feel the need to butt in with some ignorant opinion about women every time a woman talks about her experience. It’s good to know I’m not the only man who *doesn’t* feel the need to explain ‘well I’m different’. I’m glad I’m not the only man who *doesn’t* feel threatened by women explaining threatening experiences perpetrated by men. I’m glad I’m not the only man who doesn’t feel the need to pretend women are ignorant of the good men in the world and women just need those men pointed out for their own good.

Look, **TheMathNerd**, I’m gonna break the rules for you because you seem like you’re at least *trying* to be a good person. I’ll give you some honest advice: If you’re not part of the problem, you have two options: shut the fuck up (which is basically minimum standards of decency), or go help take care of the problem.

No seriously:

* **Shut the fuck up.** Women have heard this shit before. They’re perfectly well aware that some of us men are not shitty people. Every time you pipe up with ‘well, I’m good’, you’re distracting from the actually useful conversation. It’s like going into a Lamaze class and telling the women there that your birth went smoothly, or like going into a math tutoring session and telling the students that math is easy for you. Good for you, but *all you’re doing is interrupting* with **shit that doesn’t help.**

* Go help take care of the problem. Got any friends who leer over women right in front of em? Pop ‘em a quick slap in the back of their head if they’re dense, or say ‘hey man, that’s fucked up.’ Got any shithead acquaintances that yell “NUDES” at Scarlett Johannsen at the theater? (fucking shitheads) Shut those losers down too.

You wanna call yourself a good person? Stop fucking *talking* about how good you are - *especially where it doesn’t add anything to the discussion* - and go out and *be* how good you are.
