MEN ARE TRASH
MEN ARE TRASH
MEN ARE TRASH PERFORMANCE
“I don’t hate men,
I hate sexual predators. I hate domestic abusers. I hate people who slut-shame, victim-blame, gaslight, and tone-police. I hate people who defends monsters from accountability. I hate people who catcall strangers and harass their colleagues. I hate people who say sexist slurs and treat the women in their life like property. I hate people who don’t respect bodily autonomy. I hate bullies who enforce gender roles and toxic masculinity. I hate people who deny certain genders their rights and opportunities. I hate people who abuse their privilege to perpetuate rape culture and patriarchy. And above all, I hate everyone who is silent in the face of injustice, because silence is complicity.
I don’t hate men, I hate misogyny. However, the Venn Diagram of men and people I just listed above looks too much like a circle for any woman or non-binary person to live comfortably. I want to change, and if you want to call me a misandrist for thinking that men can and must do better I will wear that label proudly.”
