I don’t think men are “providers and protectors.” I believe in egalitarianism. I am a third wave feminist.

It’s interesting though that you use charged and gendered language, labeling me impotent. I am a trans man and by definition, I cannot produce semen. As a survivor of ovarian cancer, I can’t reproduce at all. So yes, in this sense I am impotent.

And if reproduction is the only worth someone has, you are reproducing the same harmful rhetoric that is used against women.

All that to say you still can't figure out a way to somehow defend women from the objectification of men

Still impotent

So your go-to response is sexism?

I don’t tolerate misogynistic or violent humor or rhetoric and if men do that, I don’t socialize with them.

What other defense do you expect?

This interaction is literally the "Inspiring: bully torments victims using their prefered pronouns," first time I saw it against trans guy tho.

That interaction honestly has me wondering if I even know how to read. What is going on.

Yeah, I don't get why that guy keeps trying to have a meaningful convo, when the other person wants to just insult him.

Still deflecting to me what you couldn't answer...

You clearly don’t know what DARVO means or deflect.

Deflect: to bend or turn aside

My questions have been straight forward and the same since the beginning of this thread.

Maybe taking an ESL class could help you?

"I mean this question openly and honestly.

How do you expect your average man on the street to shut down this behavior?

I am a 40 year old man and not anywhere near dorms or fraternities. When I was in college, I was often the young woman getting raped so I am hardly blind the fact that these are common occurrences. However, as a middle aged queer trans social worker, I am not involved with men engaging in this behavior.

Or, to paraphrase someone more articulate than me, if there are good men, they are not going to be in the group chat about raping women. Those groups have already self selected those men out of their social organizing. And I am happy to have been selected out of such peer groups. "

Wow. You can copy-paste.

Please don't waste your time engaging with this circular firing squad of purity tests. Just wanted to say I appreciate your comments and hope you have a great day.

"What you couldn't answer"

Yeah, he specifically said he don't know what he should do. You proceeded to call him impotent for that. Ok, whatever. But he literally admited not knowing in the first comment.Â
