Mull It Over

When we complain about men raping, abusing, harassing, and refusing us our human rights, and you come back angrily with, 'But some men aren’t like that! How dare you imply that I might be like that.' Do you not think that the problem might come from the very fact that you are angry at … us for complaining, rather than angry at your fellow boys and men for this enduring misogyny? Instead of being furious that we point out that many men do act this way -- including men these women trust completely -- be angry that there are men that will treat your mother, sister, daughter, friend, girlfriend badly purely because they are female. Not only that but they are giving you a bad name, not us."

Found via Sady Doyle's tumblr.  I wish I knew who originally wrote this so I could give proper credit.
