We don't hate men, we hate misogyny.
One of my best friends and I realized we don't actually approach men prejudging them, even though to overcompensate and avoid hypocrisy we say we do, when we adhere to best practices to avoid situations where by the time we can know if there is a problem a danger would already be present.
But when we meet a man we don't prejudge him as bad.
However, this is where it gets sticky.
We pay closs attention to cues intuitively, and the reality is many men *do* give the potential danger cues, which does lead to us avoiding more men than women.
A large number of men choosing to make themselves our enemy with a dangerous attitude towards us and us noticing that does not mean we are prejudiced against good men; in fact, we don't even avoid "applauding men for the bare minimum" because we recognize that are actively fighting something bad to even reach that.
Anyway.
Also, one of my favourite things to comment now is when good men make videos defending women and bad men go into the comments and say things like "she's not gonna let you hit bro" I love to weaponize their old favourite and reply: "not all men only do things for selfish benefit."
I appreciate good men who care about people, and are paying attention to the plight of women. Both women, and in my opinion these men deserve me standing up for them when I reasonably can.
