For God's sake fellas, if women are feeling unsafe, instead of getting angry or defending yourself by saying #notallmen & claiming to be a good guy...just fucking listen. They aren't making this shit up. (Thread)

I don't know any men who think twice about their safety while moving through the world. Who carry rape whistles & alarms on their keys. Who put their keys between their fingers like a wolverine claw or who text their friend the license plate of their Uber before getting in.

Who make sure their correct key is out and ready long before they get to their car or house door. Who only park in well lit areas at night and hide pepper sprays in their purse, car, gym bag and house. This list could go on and on for multiple threads but the fact remains..

So instead of saying #notallmen when we hear women share...

we should shut up, listen & respond with empathy & compassion while acknowledging that the issue ISN'T that #notallmen are bad guys or rapists. But that far #toomanywomen (1 out of 5 to be exact) will be raped in their lifetime by men. It's not on women to fix this. It's on men.
