Rape Culture: 3 Reasons Most Men Are to Blame For Misogyny

[whathehell]

80. Yep. I agree with Allan Johnson.

When some men here accuse me of "hating" men, I have to laugh, as the truth is,

I LIKE men, generally -- I had an excellent, loving father and now have a husband

with similar qualities. The only men I do NOT like, are the ones who, in fact, don't

"like" me, or women in general in the sense of not RESPECTING us as people.

Some of the anti-feminists here would be quite surprised, I believe, if they met me in person

as I'm generally friendly and outgoing and others seem to find me smart and funny.

I've never been in an abusive relationship, and thank god for that! Abusers must feel my "vibes"

or something, because I rarely, as a single woman in social situations, attracted them.

I once read that daddy's girls are "natural feminists" and I was definitely one of those.

I grew up respecting others AND expecting them to respect me...I never understood

how someone (like an abusive partner) could convince a woman he "liked" or "loved" her if he

insulted her, or wanted to control her, let alone got violent with her.

The thing is, I believe women (and men, for that matter) have to have ZERO tolerance

for disrespect or abuse. Self-respect must always come first.
