I’d like to express my opinion on a topic that has become more and more relevant in recent years - the issue of how men are being tarnished with the actions of a few bad actors. Referring to more the 18-22 year range.
The idea that "all men are bad" is one that has become popular in recent times, and it is a viewpoint that I find to be both troubling and unfair. Just because some men out there have done bad things to women, that does not automatically make every male on the planet a bad person.
The idea that men are all abusers or predators and that women need to ‘’kill all men‘’ is not only absurd, it's downright dangerous and morally repugnant. It fosters a culture of hatred and division, and it does nothing to help address the issue of gender discrimination and violence. Rather than promoting a healthy conversation, it breeds a culture of toxicity and promotes stereotypes about gender that could only have further negative implications.
Moreover, I find it disconcerting how genuine guys who are trying to make friends with girls are being treated nowadays. It seems as if girls are always on the lookout for the next predator, without realizing how this constant suspicion hurts guys who are genuinely looking to build friendships and support their female friends.
They either get ghosted, blocked or simply not taken seriously, making it seem like guys cannot be friends with girls anymore without ulterior motives. And it's a shame because the truth is that male and female can be friends and support one another without any hidden agenda.
I am not trying to rectify what women have been through with men to any extent, my heart goes out to all the females and the hardship they’ve endured with men previously, however the problem is that (I’m not saying all women) but a majority of women are now labeling men as wanting a relationship or a root just by trying to make conversation.
I believe the only way to address the issue of gender discrimination and violence is by educating people about the importance of equality and respect- not by demonizing entire groups of people or promoting hatred and violence.
In conclusion, the idea of painting all men as abusers or predators by highlighting the actions of a minority of men is a flawed and misplaced argument. Rather than dividing us against each other, we should recognize the importance of mutual understanding, tolerance and respect. Both men and women have a role to play in creating a world in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their gender.
