With all this news about sexism, harassment, and misogyny, here’s my take on all of these as a Dudebro

What I think is you, as a dudebro, are simply whining because victimized women are having the courage to say out loud that SOME men can and will go beyond their boundaries.

I've said it a several times that I don't condone the bastos and jeje-behavior that other men have, and that I'm happy women are speaking up about it.

Why are you assuming that I'm against it?


my impression about your post is that you're conflating different issues

My focus is the fact that YOU kept insisting that people shouldn't be offended at something normal as being a "dudebro".

And honestly? Using the Franken issue seems like a cop-out to justify sexual harassment.

The issue, in the simplest sense, is that people get offended by -everything or anything- as long as it suits their agenda.

I used the Pulp mag cover, cited generic male reactions, and Pulp's past use of sexy shoots - as something that barely offends me. I also mentioned to you that I showed the same photo on the net to my wife, who also had no reaction to it. She didn't know who the band was, she didn't know who the women were. NR lang. Picture - tapos.

I used the Franken/Huff example as a woman who was considered a victim, and yet she herself stated that she was not offended at all. And I used that to further ask you if you, as a woman, were offended by it, or if you were angered by her lack of venomous reaction.

Tinanong kita directly, several times, and you avoided this particular example.


You're assuming that I'm asking for -DUDEBRO REACTIONS- but remember, I posted this on r/Philippines, and even asked what people's thoughts were.

I did not post this on r/Dudebro, or specifically asked for opinions from fellow males.


Bottom line lang is that there are people who will be offended by anything and everything as long as it suits their agenda.

There are bigger issues, and bigger incidents, and yet people will want to react to minor issues and find offense in them because... well... they feel that it can be related to their overall opinion.

That's fine and all - but please don't lose track of the bigger picture. Fight for the issues and incidents worth fighting for - hindi yung lahat nalang.

Why do you think my conclusion to the main post was surmising scenarios wherein a lot of things suddenly become inappropriate because it might offend certain people? Because I feel that (at least in two particular examples - Franken/Huff, Pulp Mag) - people found a way to loop in their agendas to incidents that were entirely minor compared to the bigger issues at hand.

And again, this is just coming from a dude (so take it with a grain of salt), but I did ask the opinion of a woman whom I know, and read the opinion of another woman who was allegedly a victim (but stated she wasn't offended by anything).

Guess this simply means - "More power to you! Pero piliin mo yung mga ipinaglalaban mo, hindi yung lahat nalang ng makita mo eh offensive na."

Case in point - you were offended that this opinion comes from the male member of the species, and you made a ton of assumptions as well.

Cheers!
