Pariah

This is excellent, and I donโ€™t think most women realize this at all (click to make larger):

I wanted to highlight this part:

I canโ€™t tell you how tiresome and terrible it is that everyone treats you like a predator pretty much all the time if youโ€™re male. If this were racial discrimination it would not be tolerated or permitted. But against men? Sure, itโ€™s all good. And I understand the reasons why, even. But that does not make it feel any better. Know how draining it is to realize that 99% of women only perceive you as an attacker, not as a friend, a comrade, or just someone to have a laugh with?

Yes, yes, women have it worse in some ways but at least they arenโ€™t treated 24/7 as someone always on the verge of assaulting or harming anyone in the vicinity. Because men are treated that way and itโ€™s psychologically very costly. And to women who say men โ€œdeserve itโ€ because some men are in fact creepy and terrible: that logic doesnโ€™t make any damn sense.

I know men arenโ€™t allowed to complain about this but Iโ€™m going to anyway, because itโ€™s dehumanizing and a terrible way to be treated. And itโ€™s all the time.
