You can't "police" other men any more than eomen can "police" other women. Too confrontational and will lead to an uptick in violence, for both genders.

But that's thinking of what's being asked askance. What you can do, is stop normalizing abusive and manipulating tactics in dating in your direct circles and more briadlt when and how you can. Think of it like a verbal or facial look hockey check.

I was on the late bus again last Friday and a woman was on there bashing men. She was as high as a Geoegia line so I didn't say anything to her. It's late and I don't want to risk getting kicked off the bus in that part of town --for good reason.

But, I did roll my eyes and shake my head. Some guy was watching me so I threw in another minor head shake, scoff, and smirk.

Very minor.

But it's also the whole world. I could see her words were hitting him hard. And she was wrong in what she was saying.

That one reaction, somewhat performatively was a revuff of the idea without attacking the person who is clearly out odnher damn head right then anyways. I didn't allow it to be normalized.

Silence is complicity. There's a lot of truth to that. That's how stuff gets normalized. It gets repeated and repeated and repeates and nobody ever says different. Slowly, it becomes accepted. Then it becomes harmful.

Stop normalizing the abuse of women. It's not that damn hard. It's not gonna put you out any.

Otherwise, sont blame women when abuse is so rampant that none of us want to have a damned thing to do with any of you. Because whether or not you're "that guy", you're okay with what they're doing. Hell, you probably even tried it yourself a time or two because it "worked" for so and so.
