Hey, so, what is this? I saw it underneath a post of a woman (well, honestly, a teenage girl) who was sexually harassed by males after posting a picture of herself, and it's violently distasteful.
So, first things first, when you see a woman being berated and dehumanized by your fellow males, your first instinct should never be to clean up male PR and do this odd self-serving "I am the male-ax and I speak for the decent males" thing.
That's nasty, and that shouldn't be your priority.
Secondly, no, it's actually not hard to break free from the "gender expectation" that is sexually harassing women — and in this case, a teenage girl. That's just.. not a thing.
Thirdly! Again.. no, dude, you're trying to do this odd thing where you position predatory males as insecure little beings with internal struggles. Yeah, they struggle internally, but not because they're victims.
They did what they did because they're predatory, perverse, and misogynistic — men aren't harrassing women (usually anonymously) online for validation.
That's all there is to it, really.
Again, you're really prioritizing that male PR here.
Also, you can't deflect and shoo away from the fact that misogyny is a prejudice that specifically afflicts and harms women. It is a tool of oppression that oppresses WOMEN. No, males sexually harassing women does not harm you as a male, it truly does not.
Do better before you send something as tone-deaf as this to another young girl or woman.
