John Brisson, your argument is ludicrous while you misquote me and exaggerate my comments to make yours seem reasonable. I didn't say either of these things.
I know the US political system is run by a sordid group of foul-minded violent scum that does what it likes, has the rest of the world under permanent threat and pulling strings in any country it can get a military base. No prizes for spotting that. I can't vote in the US election but still have to live with seeing what they do. I have little hope but that Sarah Westall is doing her bit and men will start teaching others to behave better.
Obviously this is a subject that stirs up strong feeling, as it should, but you won't achieve anything shouting about me. Except perhaps make me reluctant to follow this forum. How about you channel your significant energy and well-informed data towards the actual perpetrators.
I know you're going to respond angrily whatever I say, it's possibly your default position, and I'm sure we'd never be friends, so let's drop it, unless you (probably) want the last word. Go ahead, I'll ignore it.
I am sorry if I misjudged you by your words. It is difficult to get a person's total point across when typing. I am not shouting, if I was shouting I would type in all caps.
I do agree that an issue in our modern world is that men do not hold other men accountable anymore, it is a real issue.
Women do also commit heinous acts as well, per statistics it is almost about equal to men. Women also molest, I know people personally that were molested by female family members. There are many cases in the 1980's and 1990's that involved women, in fact it is more overlooked in society, IMO.
There is toxic masculinity as much as their is toxic femininity, just as much as there are good parts of both as well.
