Just that. I was reading a post from yesterday about service workers and the amount of unwanted attention from men women get/ Lo and behold the thread is full of comments such as; well not every guy, and but men are are so lonely give them a break

Fuck no that is exactly the problem. Yes women have to hold all men, every single one, they meet each day to that high standard. Because if they make an exception for one of those poor awkward 'starved for attention' men, then the flood gate is open and women are back to putting up with atrocious behavior just for being nice.

The argument that it's so hard being a man and having to deal with all these 'mixed' signals is absurd since the only mixed signal is the one in your brains convincing you that every interaction with a women can turn into a porno. Let me also say it's pretty traumatizing to women coming to the realization that a lot of men literally cannot control themselves around our very existence.

And any of you 'not all men' types already raging, for the love of all things get over yourselves.

edit: Ty for the awards:) Great to see the comments happening here (not that so many of us are struggling ofc) and I agree that being able to discuss these issues with men is preferred. Seriously though if men can't discuss this within in their own peer groups (as women do) what the flying fuck do you think women can accomplish by pointing out that a man's personality needs adjusting besides potentially instigating violence?

edit2: Thanks for all the support ladies and gents. It's good to know a lot of people see this behavior and recognize it's abusive origins. I know calling out every single instance is not easy or wise but if you find a moment to stand up for anyone being harassed that's a behavior that benefits us all and I highly recommend it.

Hasta la sayonara everyone!
