34. Yeah, I don't get it.
I'm a member of only 1 majority group...men. And I will NEVER EVER confront a woman who has been abused, or women who have been targetted by opression, with a whine about how "all men are not the same".

You know why? Because I can fucking empathize. Because every fucking second I spend defending the majority, I could be spending LISTENING to the person who is really a target and making the world a better place for them.

The fact of the matter is that 100 percent of men are not low-life, women-hating opressors. But who fucking cares about that when ENOUGH men are low-lifes...if that weren't the case, than women would be completely equal in our society. They wouldn't be hurt, and objectified, and denied equal wages, and raped, and kept like cattle in this country and others. Ultimately, ENOUGH men are responsible, and I am not solving the problem by bitching about how my fucking feelings are hurt.

So yeah, it bothers me. I agree with you completely.
