from comments over at Jezebel, "#YesAllWomen Trend Is Uprooting Everyday Misogyny One Tweet at a Time." We all have these stories. It's like if someone sees, let's say, that story about Tara The Hero Cat chasing away that bad dog and when others comment that some dogs will bite and should be tied up, kept in yards, even sometimes put down if they're a threat, etc., they set themselves on fire and scream NOT ALL DOGS!!!!! MY DOG IS NOT BAD!!!!! YOU LIE!!!! Uh, if your dog is not bad why are you so defensive and desperately dismissive? Why do some men refuse to admit that they are a member of the group "men" and when there is talk of "some men" this does not mean them personally? I know they consider themselves unique individuals and never part of a group, but this is getting embarrassing to watch.
