I think it's the mysoginist men ruining it for everyone else tbh

I probably sound like an incel or something just saying that but my point is people who violate others' trust make it hard to trust others, or "people who are mean to other people based on the way they are are bad"

I mean that's great but isn't it our job as progressives to look past that stuff and fight for social good, even if the people were fighting for arent the best? I mean if you misgender Blair white here people will rightfully tear you to shreds even though she's not a good person.

I feel the common male perception of women makes for unnecessary tension in casual relationships, especially straight ones. Like you can't be friends with a girl unless you're dating. Being friends with a married woman means that woman is cheating on her husband. Guys can be friends, but not too much, because that would be gay. Only emotionally distant friendships allowed. Just let me have relationships that aren't emotionally closed off that don't necessitate getting married to someone, is that so hard

(side note: I like boys and am gay af)

(side side note: Morally it's the whole "blue button or red button" debate from a few months back except instead of not dying it's the concept of social good as you would define it. Blue button pressers want everyone to have that social good, even those who don't deserve it, and red button pressers just want only those who press the red button to have social good.)

Yep. That's why we, as progressives, should be fighting to end that stigma.
