Lmfao, let me tell you from a feminist perspective that there are absolutely men, especially from the right but sadly not exclusively, who wouldn't flinch at this, let alone wonder what the fuck.

This seems like a post for men to pat themselves on the back and pretend they can agree and sing kumbaya across party lines on this one, but the only thing you're bonding over is pretending misogyny doesn't exist (making you actively part perpetuating it).

Yeah, but I imagine they wouldn't be on board with #repealthe2nd

The hashtags on the post include repeal the 2nd. The people who probably agree with the text of the message don't agree with that sentiment.

I didn't even notice that hashtag, but unfortunately the point you're trying to make is bullshit since this kind of misogyny, as I mentioned in my original reply, exists on all sides of politics.

Trying to use the gun part of the tweet to exclude some men from my criticism is just proving my point - the whole image is about trying to feel better that "your" kind of men wouldn't be like this, but reality says otherwise.

All these excuses is just a roundabout saying "not all men" and saying "not all men" is useless bullshit.

There are people from all walks of life that wouldn't. Doesn't mean the decent people from all sides abide by it. This thread alone shows there are at least some who care, and that's what's vitally important for rape victims and survivors, not petty political garbage.

I couldn't put my finger on why this post made me feel uncomfortable, until I read your comment, so thank you!
