I 100% believe the left can only succeed if we accept all people, regardless of identity. This includes men. I also believe that the only way we can keep young men from going alt-right is empathy for their plights.

That said, I’ve been dealing with a lot of irrational anger towards men as a group even though I don’t want to be. Every time I read/listen to opinions by men on women’s issues it drives me up the wall. It makes me so mad. These people have mothers, daughters, wives, friends who have most likely experienced assault or rape and they can’t even be assed to believe women when they talk about their experiences.

It makes me angry that men have to be center of everything. I’d be so embarrassed if I interjected “what about meeeeeee” every time someone talked about their own issues. It makes me wonder how self-centered you must experience the world to do this.

I read a comment the other day by a woman on reddit. She wrote something a long the lines of “It took me 50 years of life experience and raising a daughter to realize that most men do not like women”. I think I agree. I especially find porn extremely telling of this. As someone in their 20s I do notice how boomer men treat me like a stupid child, but have no issues sexualizing me.
