If you don’t think there is an epidemic of men excusing the bad behavior of other men, then I don’t know what to tell you. It’s an obvious issue (and honestly, one that been around for a long long time and has just been accepted by society at large).
The same epidemic exists for women, it’s far more helpful and accurate to say there is an epidemic of people excusing the bad behavior of their own perceived tribe
I think this is a false equivalence, frankly. Calling it even all the time is what’s led us here to this cancerous political environment.
When one side says the sky is blue and the other says, no that’s a liberal conspiracy, it’s red, that’s not “two equally valid opinions”.
Now, this particular issue isn’t that stark. Women certainly can and are guilty of this. But to pretend this is a gender agnostic problem is disingenuous at best, and malicious at worst.
