It drives me nuts the kind of things guys think they can share with me. “Women should be seen, not heard” and so on.

    Maybe I’m sheltered, or lucky, or just anti-social, but I’ve never associated with other guys who do shit like that. I don’t doubt that assholes like that are common, but they’ve never been part of my friend group.

      Amen to that! Curate your feed, curate your life. If you see something growing, wait till you can ID it, if it’s noxious, then pull it. No mercy.

      Probably a combo of the three! It hadn’t been too prominent until I found myself in a position to interact with a wider variety of men from all different backgrounds. It’s a depressing reminder that while we’ve made a lot of social progress over the years, the things we’re told are history still very much live today.
