    “Kill all men” - Lauded, celebrated, even encouraged.

    Do you have an example of this? Because as someone whose suggested death would be celebrated, I’ve not seen those reactions myself.

      It was a whole thing on Twitter apparently. #killallwhitemen was a story some time ago.

      I don’t have any details about it, but it’s likely where that comment came from.

      Is anyone surprised when women say they want bears over men, and other stuff? I understand the meaning of that whole thing too, but c’mon, don’t act too surprised.

        When I did a Google search of #killallwhitemen, I found plenty of articles about how controversial it was, not celebrations and encouragements.

        And there is a giant leap between a thought exercise about how women feel unsafe around men, and encouraging calls to kill all men.

      Sigh. Defending OP I can’t believe I’m doing this … It’s “handwaves” everywhere.

      College enrollments of men are dropping. High school attendance is dropping. Schools are not designed for boys. Society has grown to empower women which is good, but in some ways it’s been at the expense of boys.

      Now that in itself is not a problem if these boys were represented by healthy role models but in the erosion of traditional families many boy are raised with no, or poor representation which is exacerbating the issue. I’m not just talking about single parent homes. I’m talking about toxic adults that have dug into the battle of the sexes.

      My boys will be alright because I’m a great dad and I love women and want to be the rising tide that lifts all ships be they women, lgbt, poc, etc.

      I know men my age however who have lost the plot and are more toxic today than they were 20 years ago. These men have kids… Shit is generational.

      Good parents raise good kids as a generalization.

        I fully agree with what you are saying, but are you sure you responded to the intended comment? I was asking for examples of calls to kill all men being lauded, celebrated and/or encouraged.
