What she’s arguing, is that men are not human beings. She is arguing that men are animals that need to be carefully policed, and controlled, by women.

Uhm, yeah, we already heard this story before, in the 1919 movie Birth of A Nation, where black men are depicted as animalistic monsters, who cannot control their urges around white women. The same thing was said about Mexicans fairly recently, Chinese immigrants, and Indigenous men. This is the same argument used as an excuse to brutalize and lynch men of color for a hundred years.

I guess shes just gonna skip the racist angle of that conversation, and go straight to #allmen! If she doesn’t mean all men, then she needs to specify who exactly she’s taking about, and own it!

Okay, now is the time for the #notallmen crowd to chime in, because that woman is talking about y’all!
