Well, I see you've triggered some folks and the meltdowns are ensuing.

I agree with you about the inherent danger men pose to women due to the cultural elevation of all things male, a left over residue from the Greco Roman era.

I agree that there's an entitlement that goes along with that that for the most part they are completely blind to. I agree that they are socialized with this entitlement.

I will even add, that due to certain things, a confluence of events, technology, and propaganda if you will, that the particular entitled aggrievement is currently at a fever pitch that's not been seen in a good long while.

I don't think that makes men inherently bad either. They're a product of their environment just as we women are. Of course, you clarified between "bad" and "dangerous" in the body of the essay. Further bad doesn't necessarily mean evil, as some of the meltdowns have reframed. Bad can mean bad for you. Or even neutral except under certain circumstances. Or even both. It depends on context.

For example, water is good for me. My body needs it in order to function properly. But if I'm completely submerged in it for too long, it will kill me because I can't breathe water and my body also needs air to function properly.

You'll forgive me for the pedantic response. It's more for the upcoming meltdowns over the word bad. Maybe they'll see this and calm down.

Basically your article is the "you have to treat men like a gun" analogy.

It's not wrong. That's the culture and society we've built. You cannot extend them trust or goodwill until you've determined if they're loaded, in proper working order, and if the safety is on. You'll be blamed for what happens to you if you don't.

That's the way payriarchy wanted it so that's the way we got it. That's what we all have to live with. It sucks for all of us.

It's not going to get better though, until basic safety and integrity is reestablished between genders. That's just the long and short of it.
