>>21754016responding seriously, this is just the retarded logical fallacy of poisonous m&ms in a bowl. it goes something like
>there's a bowl of m&ms (or whatever candy)>some small percentage of those candies are poisoned>therefore the best option for anyone who is not interested in being poisoned is to merely abstain from eating themand yes that does make sense but the error lies in grouping all men together. we're not all just candies in a bowl, you're painting with too broad a brush. you need to realize that it might be something about you that is attracting certain types of toxic people, and that needs to get sorted out before you try and build relationships.
the other thing to consider is that culture isn't dictated by men and for men, but is something that slowly boils over hundreds of years in the crucible of whatever country or part of the world from which you hail, and has many influences, some of them misguided.
basically, you can't blame men directly for most of the violence that happens in the world; men are tools in the art of war, and yes it is true that patriarchal systems of governance rule the world and most world leaders are men, but if the opposite were true, it'd be just as if not more a bloody place as it is right now because blood sanctifies power. always has and always will.
so really, you need to judge men - and really, people - on a case by case basis, for one. for two, you can't blame any one individual man, or even most men, for how culture shapes the conduct that we all adopt. no doubt that bitches do get the short end of the stick a lot of times though, I won't deny it. still, how is that my fault? I ain't out her perpetuating violence against women, doesn't that entitle me to a shred of goodwill from you?
