    I wouldn’t say nobody, but I would say the people that dominate the area I’m trying to volunteer and work in.

    I work in a healing center where there are 29 women on staff and 1 man.

    I cannot get these people to understand that as much as they want to push forward social movements, which I very much agree with, this must not come at the expense of men who are trying to heal.

    I will literally have counselors co-facilitating with me, who want to make every point about how women are oppressed, pushed down in the workforce, face issues.

    I’m not in denial of those, but no man coming into a healing environment to work on themselves, be vulnerable, and explore their own journey, needs to hear how much men are shitty.

        It’s insane, I even made a complaint to the director who of course is a woman, and she effectively denied that it was happening or could happen.

        I told her I don’t even want people not to think these things, everybody who is in their own place of trauma has to get their shit off their chest.

        All I wanted was a place where men didn’t have to hear this crap.

        And that’s being incredibly neutral in my opinion because there are a lot of opportunities for men to talk about just how insane and shitty women can be. But I don’t want to talk about those things, I just want them to stop shit talking men especially their own clientele.

      Exactly. You can see this on various aspects of life. Racism, sexism, etc. Many use them as excuse to throw out the baby with the bath water.
