The Musings Of An Opinionated Sod [Help Me Grow!]

Lots of interesting stuff going on about this post on LinkedIn.

I’ve written about racism. Ageism. Prejudice. Corporate Gaslighting. But the post on LinkedIn that has seemingly got men in a tizz is me writing about a mens toilet in a restaurant that has a graphic of women with magnifying glasses looking at them. Freud would have a field day.

What’s interesting they don’t talk about how this would be unacceptable in a female bathroom so should be the same in a men’s bathroom, but that I – as a man – have “issues” because I wrote about how I imagine it would make Alpha males have a meltdown.

And now someone who wrote, “Man walks into a bathroom, sees demasculating picture on the wall, gets an erection, rushes back to his table to write about it” is trying to claim he’s passionately against ‘shaming people’. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

The reality is I get this once a blue moon and – to a certain degree – invited it [not that’s any excuse for it happening] … but women deal with this every single day for no reason other than living their life. Which ultimately says nothing shows male privilege like getting upset when women call out the shit they get from men in all walks of life every single day for no other reason than being a woman. As Jill says, “if men were treated like women are treated … men would start wars”.

The irony is that the Alpha Male brigade probably think that women don’t do that shows weakness when it just highlights they’re not just stronger than us, we’re not worth bothering with. More proof they know more than us.
