@bri_seven The disheartening part for me is that there *is* a conversation to be had about how patriarchy demands everyone – women included – to behave in a way that is materially damaging to men because “men can take it and if they genuinely can’t, they should.”
People like Somerton make the conversation untenable because they’d rather go on a thinly-veiled revenge tour instead of doing any work at all to grapple with how patriarchy obfuscates pain men are actually in while pitting men and women against each other along the most arbitrary of lines.
