Kinda a weirdly specific take, but I don’t know how anyone could reach the “all men are bad” conclusion unless they like. Never work retail.

Like, really? All men? I get a lot of annoying sexist remarks thrown at me all day (by men and women) but I also get treated with respect by men?

Sometimes a customer is a man who politely asks me where to find something and then thanks me and goes about his day?

Idk, I just can’t imagine living within society and never meeting a good man. Sometimes people are assholes. Sometimes they’re very gentle and understanding and want you to have a good day. Sometimes they’re men and sometimes they’re women.

Also every single person is going to have Morally Good and Morally Bad qualities according to an individuals specific, subjective definitions. The nicest man is going to have some bad qualities, but that doesn’t make him bad. A cruel woman is going to have some good qualities, but that doesn’t make her good.

What are they even judging people by? By actions? By intentions? By affect on the world? By how close the person is to 100% meeting all of their individual rules for Being Morally Good? How does someone work retail (and see every type of person there is) and decide that they’re an authority on if Every Man Ever is bad or not?

#sorenhoots #what I’m trying to say is: if you’ve never met a man who’s nice you have gotten to live a very different life than me #most men that *are* assholes to me are like. typical conservative white cishet guys #like the kind that Christian BakeSale Women end up marrying yknow? like the kind all my old classmates ended up marrying?#but it’s like? have you not ever been around men who aren’t at the top of society? have you not ever been around men who #have different political views than their conservative father?#have you not ever worked retail???????#if someone has only ever met bad men; they live in such a different world than me #I work at a liquor store and I literally see every social class of human #rich fuckers who think I’m an idiot for not knowing what their Special Bourbon #and people who have $3 to their name and are spending it on the cheapest vodka we have so they can forget about life for a bit #all genders all social classes all sexualities all ages #and getting exposed to literally every type of person ever has absolutely proven to me that #men can be soft and kind and gentle and tender and sympathetic #and men can be aware of how it sucks to be a woman and accommodate for the way they know other men are shitty #and they can be so good and kind and it’s unforgettable #yeah the rudest assholes I ever had the displeasure to be near were men; but I’ve also been treated like dogshit by women #and I can’t say which gender has shown me the most kindness. truly they all have #I wonder if I’ll save this as a draft or post it #im posting it I guess
