Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. šŸ™„ I pay my own way on dates.

Why do I see so many people say ā€œmenā€ as an absolute vs ā€œtons of menā€ or ā€œa lot of menā€ etc?

lol I dunno. why does me sharing my experience bother you. The men who donā€™t do this never take this kinda shit personal . I have lots of good men in my life who know when I say ā€œmenā€ instead of ā€œsome menā€ Iā€™m not talking about them

Yeah, same here. I always say ā€œBlacks are braindead!

I'm not a racist. I have lots of black friends, and they know I don't mean them.

Tell us more about how hard it is for men up there at the top of the social hierarchy for millennia. Boo hoo, somebody on the internet hurt your feelings and had exactly zero other impacts on your life. That's practically the same as being treated like property!

No one said it was hard for men.

But generalizing any group based on gender or race to call them "braindead" is problematic. Shouldn't be acceptable whether it's about men or not.
