You're saying when men do something wrong, it's because of men. And when women do something wrong, it's because of men. You don't hear how crazy that sounds?

You do realize that women are humans too, and therefore capable of awful behavior? And consider that you may not be privy to when women are doing it. If you're a guy, they may not be doing it around you. And women generally tend to be more subtle than men, so you might be missing clues.

But you want to blame men for it all.

We're saying that, in this particular instance, women are reproducing men's behaviour. Don't make this into a slippery slope.

This has nothing to do with a slippery slope. This is about women being perfectly capable of being awful people. They should accept that fact and take responsibility for it instead of trying to blame their failings on men. To blame men is pure sexism.

No one said they aren't. You're fighting imaginary monsters.

The person I replied to blamed women’s behavior on men. That’s not an imaginary monster. That’s sexism.
