Demanding accountability for the trafficking, rape, and enslavement of children and adults should be YOUR fucking cause too. It’s all of our “cause.” Fuck you. Fuck you and your fellow men and your entitlement and what you excuse and enable and benefit from. Chiding me over semantics. Fuck you.
Saying “Most Men” don’t care doesn’t help your cause. Because its not true
