    I’d stay out of public spaces if that happens tbvh… everyone jokes about the byproducts of unkempt male rage, yet it has defined all of human existence. Susan Faludi has an awesome book on the subject called “Stiffed” that peels back the curtain on what happens to boys who aren’t loved.

      We have simultaneously underestimated the massive force that is male sexual insecurity and how it fuels movements, and also way overplayed the minority of foul shits who scream their hate into the void.

      If a woman is elected president, there will be no end to raging lunatics online but there’s not going to be any more or less real-world violence as a result. People generally fall in line with whatever tone our current “leader” sets.
