“Mental illness is not your fault, but it is your responsibility.”

I realized the other day that I don’t have any cis male friends.

I have one... we only talk every few weeks though

I have some and have had tons over the years, most of them are great. Doesn't make this tweet less true though.

Me too, the men I have in my life are great and we have close bonds. They also do the work to be good, healthy friends that share a lot of respect and love.

I love uppity_negress_’s take on things. She’s one person I miss after leaving Threads.

In Why Does He Do That? Lundy Bancroft talks a lot about how a lot of people mistakenly think that abusive men have a temper problem and need anger management, and he talks about how they will graduate anger management as abusers with much better control over their tempers because the two aren't really strongly connected

Same for trauma. I mean you have to deal with it, not alone if you can get help but that not the perpetrator who have to deal with the damages.

I see lundy Bancroft, I upvote

As is expected lol. I have friends I haven't talked to in years

No I can't even agree that that's relevant to the post. Mental illness doesn't teach you that it's OK to abuse women, mental illness doesn't teach you to be racist, and plenty of very mentally ill people have absolutely no inclination towards those things. Does it make you more susceptible to the worst society has to offer? Of course, but your neurons misfiring doesn't automatically lead to the conclusion that you have shoot up a school or abuse your family or anything else like that. There's very ugly things happening in our country that affect both mentally ill and mentally healthy people.

I think you’re misunderstanding the quote. It literally means that mental illness is not an excuse to abuse others, not the everyone with a mental illness is abusive.

Where in this post does it say women can do no wrong?

You appear to be lost

That book helped save me. Always a good mention, thank you.

You should maybe touch grass

Right, it's the top comment i disagree with.

all you’re doing is encouraging that behavior by glorifying women

The text you're responding to says:

It's not mental illness. It's 'male pattern violence'.

Please point to which word or words is glorifying women. (Hint: This is not possible.)

women never do wrong–they never think wrong, they never act wrong.

The text you're responding to says:

It's not mental illness. It's 'male pattern violence'.

Please point to which word or words claim that women never do, think, or act wrong. (Hint: This is not possible.)

As an added point:

The community into which you're responding with these—let's be polite and call it "interesting" (because calling them "idiotic" would be rude)—observations has a rule which states:

1. Women only…

Please point to which word or words permit a black-pilled incel to post in this community. (Hint: This is not possible.)

I also currently do not...

Not for lack of trying, just everyone I click with turns out to be trans!
