Oooh yeah. Huge shout out to all of my trans sisters who happen to be straight. Dogspeed to you, and good fucking luck with that.
Yeah it can be a bit of a minefield when you're straight or bi! Luckily there are good men out there and they absolutely make it worth sifting through some of the shit.
Well said. I don't have anything to add, the statement is pretty solid.
They really are. And IME the scary thing is that they're not necessarily DV abusers cos it's not just DA perps thar hurt women.
Also this has been up 3 hours and no manosphere have commented! Think this might be a record
What does DV and DA stand for?
Domestic Violence, Domestic Abuse
Yeah, it's not always obvious with these types of men. Makes it even more scary - like that analogy of a bowl of skittles, but a few of them are poison. You don't know which one will kill you.
I like that record! Maybe we can continue to break it :)
Ive not heard of that analogy before but i like it
Ah I found the original quote - I misremembered it as skittles, but same message:
“Imagine a bowl of M&Ms. 10% of them are poisoned. Go ahead. Eat a handful. Not all M&Ms are poison. #YesAllWomen.”
The premise being, of course, that while good men do exist in the world, women have spent a lifetime preparing to meet one who is not.
The original analogy is a box of chocolates, where some are poison. In the original German, it's actually even more cool because the German word for poison is "gift"!
(Also it was originally published in 1930s Germany, and the 'poison chocolate' referred to Jews)
TIL! Thanks :)
I first saw it during the Me Too movement, so good to know it's been around even longer.
