Lmfao, let me tell you from a feminist perspective that there are absolutely men, especially from the right but sadly not exclusively, who wouldn't flinch at this, let alone wonder what the fuck.

This seems like a post for men to pat themselves on the back and pretend they can agree and sing kumbaya across party lines on this one, but the only thing you're bonding over is pretending misogyny doesn't exist (making you actively part perpetuating it).

    Yeah, but I imagine they wouldn't be on board with #repealthe2nd

    The hashtags on the post include repeal the 2nd. The people who probably agree with the text of the message don't agree with that sentiment.

    I didn't even notice that hashtag, but unfortunately the point you're trying to make is bullshit since this kind of misogyny, as I mentioned in my original reply, exists on all sides of politics.

    Trying to use the gun part of the tweet to exclude some men from my criticism is just proving my point - the whole image is about trying to feel better that "your" kind of men wouldn't be like this, but reality says otherwise.

    All these excuses is just a roundabout saying "not all men" and saying "not all men" is useless bullshit.

    There are people from all walks of life that wouldn't. Doesn't mean the decent people from all sides abide by it. This thread alone shows there are at least some who care, and that's what's vitally important for rape victims and survivors, not petty political garbage.

    as a survivor - shut the fuck up, and don't dare use rape victims you clearly don't give a shit about (and who I guarantee never ever want to hear the phrase "not all men" or anything like it) as justification for you to feel better about excluding yourself from the problem you are obviously a part of.

    This entire post and replies are nothing but a massive "not all men" circlejerk, entirely focused on making yourselves feel better via rape jokes and misogyny.

    Go fuck yourself.

    I am a survivor too. I'm not even male. In all likelihood, so are a lot of people upvoting the thread. Do not presume to know anything about me or my motives, especially after I've been in here all night shooting down rape apologists while your ass did nothing but complain about the thread's existence. You do not help us survivors. You only hurt us acting that way.

    Acknowledging that there are people from all political stripes that oppose rape apologia is in no way contributing to the slave racket, patriarchy, or rape culture. It certainly isn't not-all-menning anything because how the fuck do I know what gender everybody is?

    Your claim that this post is a not-all-men circlejerk is entirely baseless. You know a lot of rape apologists are women, right? You do know that?

    There are actual rape apologists in this thread you could have invested energy arguing with but all you find worthy to complain about is the fact that some alt-right dipshits agree, giving us all common ground for once. Why. Why did I get up in the morning and check the thread? 🤦
