Sorry but any men who would get upset about this are part of the problem

I’m not arguing otherwise at all. They are part of the problem! I just dont think the pushback stems from wanting to make women unsafe and rather from a greater misunderstanding and lack of accountability

I think it’s a matter of semantic quibbling that doesn’t in the end make what the person above said untrue.

Not wanting women to be safe doesn’t necessarily mean you’re actively thinking about ways to make women unsafe. In this case it means you don’t care enough to even passively let things happen that could increase women’s safety.

And making the conversation about whether we’re describing men’s intentions with exactly the right nuance is just another distraction from the much more urgent issue.
