I wish the ânot all menâ crowd could self-police as effectively as the No Kings protestors. I remember seeing a few videos where the protestors were peacefully doing their thing until one dude tried to incite violence or vandalism, at which point the rest of the protestors turned on that dude, called him out, kicked him out of the group and turned him over to police.
The best way to prove that âIâm not like thatâ and keep your own identity distinct from the bad actors you want to avoid being associated with is to shut that kind of shit down immediately upon recognition.
What does making these types of jokes have to do with policing rape or DV cases? Either you're implying that men who make these kinds of jokes are working their way to rape or DV, or they're clear signals that they're already rapists and abusers, or you're just moving the goal posts to an entirely different set of behavior.
