CISHET MEN: GET ON ITI am not seeing nearly enough cishet **men** react proactively to this national wave of rape threats.
Most men listen only to men, particularly on topics like these. These men *specifically* only listen to men. *Not* listening to the opinions of women is the *point*, because as far as they’re concerned, **we don’t get to have any**.
Right now, these men are testing what they can get away with. They see but don’t care about how women react; if anything, they like the revulsion and anger, and look forward to more of it when they actually start “grabbing women by the pussy.”
But they **do** want to see how other **men** will react. They want to know what **other men** will say or do.
Passivity now, in the face of this, is **permission**. And your **men** friends are watching. If you don’t object, *they probably won’t either*. So if you’re against this – and you fucking well need to be – you need to get ahead of it.
And the next time, and the time after that? Every other time the fash test something? Because they will be testing everything they can?
It’s the same reality.
**You** have to get in front of it. Independently. Not just a thumbs up to a woman’s post. Preferably in your own words.
And you have to start **right now**.
