Code Red Flag

Men will publicly defend abuse, degradation, coercion, humiliation, and violence against women… then get offended when women start warning each other about them.

The most disturbing part is never just the man saying it. It’s the chorus of other men rushing in to normalize it.

“Just say no.” As if coercion, manipulation, fear, financial dependency, power imbalance, intimidation, and abuse don’t exist.

A lot of men tell on themselves every single day online. Loudly. Publicly. Repeatedly. And women are expected to debate them politely instead of recognizing the danger for exactly what it is.

If your first instinct is to blame a woman for what a man chose to do to her, you are not a safe person. Period.

And the men caping for him in the comments?
Birds of a feather.
