I'm a man, and I don't like it when the behaviour of Musk is viewed as typical men behaviour.

i'm also a man. i don't think it's seen as "typical," but maybe more common than you think, however disheartening that is.

you're slightly annoyed when women are mistrustful of men. women are literally scared because of what some men do.

can you blame them? go check out the FBI sex offender map and type in your neighborhood. you might be surprised. keep in mind this is only the people who actually got caught. does the saying "not all men. but always a man" bother you too?

edit: i want to add: aside from celebrities who "no one would have ever suspected!" e.g., bill cosby, neil gaiman, and on and on, i've personally known more than a couple people (men) who turned out to be creeps, and shocked everyone who knew them. a couple went to prison for it.

yea, it sucks that women have to be wary, but i'll never criticize women for something that's 0% their fault

edit 2: if you're a man, and you feel butthurt by the OP, i won't tell you how to feel, but my advice is this: instead of your immediate reaction of "this woman is wrong! she needs to fix herself!" maybe take a minute to say "what must this woman have gone through in order to say such a thing?" because while she might be technically incorrect that "all men are just like elon musk," attitudes and comments like this don't just "happen"

also consider the fact that elon musk says "empathy is weakness." and you're throwing empathy out the window, just like elon wanted, when you immediately say "i'm the victim here!"

empathy is not weakness, it's STRENGTH. it's painful to feel someone else's pain, and to impose that pain willingly upon yourself. musk and people who behave like him (like victims) are the fucking weak ones. is empathy a good thing?

in america, human beings who have done nothing wrong are being dehumanized, kidnapped, shipped away. or just murdered. you tell me whether empathy is better or worse for society?

I wouldn't ever criticize women for being wary of men by default, but I would criticize someone for comparing me (and all other men) to fucking Musk. There is a difference between saying "enough men are dangerous that I should assume they're always a threat" and "all men are the same as one of the most despicable people of our time".

There is a difference between saying “enough men are dangerous that I should assume they’re always a threat” and “all men are the same as one of the most despicable people of our time”.

yea. we live in a world where some women think all men are absolute scumbags. maybe in a country that elected a rapist as president. you're making it sound like we've got it so hard in life, with these few women who just hate men. how much time have you spent wondering if you might be raped (or raped AND murdered)? by someone you never expected. someone at a party. someone at work. in a parking lot. or at school (by a student OR teacher). or at church. or by a cop.

i mean you can call me an asshole if it makes you feel better, but it's not YOU i have sympathy for
