    Tremolo, seriously, take a week, go on the internet, on twitter, on wikipedia, start wherever you want, but educate yourself on this topic because you clearly don't know what you're talking about. Better yet, sign up for a gender studies class, and start with feminism 101. Learn about patriarchy, privilege, intersectionality, and take it from there.

    People should respect people, regardless of their gender.
    This point, before you went off the deep end, is fine, and not mutually exclusive with understanding that there is a huge, utterly huge power imbalance in our world between men and women, that male privilege is very real, and that rape, sexual assault, and harassment all the way down to microaggressions are ways in which men enforce their power and maintain patriarchy, even without necessarily knowing that is what they are doing, especially when they're young and unaware of what the world is like from the other side. Listening to what women are saying is a good first step.

    And don't be defensive about this! I wasted too much time in my life hiding behind #notallmen bullshit.
