Not a single man on the planet believes "Not All Men".

In reality what you want to say is that you personally haven’t been directly or moderately violent towards any woman. But don't for a second gaslight women about “Not All Men” as though you believe it. You don't.

If you really believed #NotAllMen, you would let your tried, tested and trusted homies date your sisters.
You don't.

You would let your daughters go to sleepovers at other men's houses, even if those men’s wives or mothers were not home. You don't.

Because you know.

You would have at least three men on call that could babysit your daughters, the way women have at least three women on call that they can leave their children of either sex with. You don't. Because you know.

You would not give your daughters strict curfews and as many instructions, while giving your boys relatively unlimited freedom. You do. Because you know.

You wouldn't care what your wives, partners, sisters, daughters and relatives wore in public. You do.
Because you know.

You would feel equal joy and ease at the arrival of a daughter, as you do at the arrival of a son. You don't. You feel that terror.

You don't trust your own fathers, uncles, siblings and best friends with the girls and women most precious to you. But you really expect women to?

I must add: these are the words of Zwonaka Netshifulani. I received same without a name. Thank you to all who have pointed her name out.
