Question:

If so many men argue that the assholes are the minority, (NOT ALL MEN!!!) why do we never see giant groups of men flooding women's accounts with nice, respectful messages or support?

Why doesn't dogpiling get responded to by a flood of help? Where is the support for women being stalked and threatened? Where are y'all?

I have never in my life been overwhelmed by kindness. But men literally attempt (and often succeed) destroying my life on the daily.

Where are the "good guys"?

@GinnyMcQueen usually "good guys" are busy with their kids, family, helping a friend in need, volunteering, etc.

It's not so much they don't or aren't willing to come to someone's aid, rather there are so many people who could really use a hand that they simply can't get everyone, instead they tend to focus on those immediately around them as that's where they can personally see the difference they make.

Which makes it harder to tackle systemic problems like cultural bigotry.
