    See, the thing is, you obviously didn’t even look up “rape culture,” or fully read my previous comments, because you’d know that rn you’re trying to claim that you never see dominant values in society through your interactions with other men (apparently, you don’t have any family).

    I don’t give a shit about the people who are more interested in maintaining their moral purity than actually participating in positive social change. You are primarily concerned with asserting that you’re not a bad person for being complicit. Despite finding sexual violence “abhorrent,” you’re now actively engaging with rape culture by pretending that literally no men in your life say misogynistic shit ever or even misinformation they may genuinely not understand is harmful and are pretending that I’ve in any way said you have to approach random men with a prepared gotcha interview to challenge rape culture.

    Yeah dude, totally, you seem like the kind of guy who is really willing to live up to his morals. Would you shut up now? I don’t care about what you have to say besides, “sorry, I’ll try to learn more about this.”

      I am asking, in good faith, what extra steps I am expected to be taking here, because yes, I am claiming that I don’t associate with misogynists or people who promote such misinformation. If the actual answer is “read a bunch of books on the subject” then maybe that’s what I need to do? But I find it extraordinarily unlikely that it will reveal that people I interact with are secretly misogynist in ways that I can actionably address.
