Just the JRE where dude was on. I knew the more I looked into it the worse it would get so I bailed.
Move along Paulo's boss. Nothing to see here.

Dear men, here is a handy “me too” for you to think about! (When I say “women” here plz read it as including non binary and trans folks.)
PARTICIPATION IN RAPE CULTURE CHECKLIST
- You follow a ton of Instagram models whose feeds are mostly T&A (liking Suicide Girls instead of Playboy does not make you feminist or edgy).
- You think your girlfriend or ex girlfriend are particularly special because they get cat called a lot because of some unique quality they have, not because this is just what it’s like to be a woman today.
- When you have sex with women it’s over when you cum; you don’t ask her if she has and don’t care if she does.
- You cat call and hit on women in the street.
- You laugh or stay silent when your friends sexualize and objectify women.
- You openly stare at women who you feel are dressed ‘provocatively.’
- You do not intervene when you see men making women uncomfortable.
- You allow men to talk over and interrupt women.
- You cannot name 10 women writers or artists that you like.
- You don’t speak up when you see the women in your life defending themselves against sexism; instead of thinking ‘they must be tired, I should see if they need help’ you think ‘she can just do it herself.’
- You make advances on women with much less cultural, social, and financial capital and use this differential to your advantage.
- You react badly when women reject you sexually or in a dating context, seeking to insult them or drag them.
- You slam doors or objects when you are mad to intimidate your female partner.
- You sexually idealize the young 18 year old female figure when you are not in the appropriate age range to be doing this.
- You are repulsed by women who wear a lot of makeup or take time on how they look.
- You think women who wear no makeup are ugly.
- You think women exist for your visual pleasure.
- You offer unsolicited sexualized comments on the bodies of women.
- You think women’s nude bodies are inherently sexy or sexual, and the bodies of nude men are funny, silly, or neutral.
- You don’t take no for an answer, and push until it changes to a yes.
- You see a no as a challenge.
- You have sexually touched a woman without her permission.
- You argue with the women in your life, defending Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, Hugh Hefner, David Bowie, etc.
- You think women owe you sex if you are nice to them or buy them a drink.
- You don’t reach out to the women you know when shit like this is in the media.
- You don’t reach out to women you know who have been assaulted or raped.
- You think that women calling out assault are probably mentally ill and keep your distance.
- You tell yourself no men in your life have made women feel unsafe.
- You tell yourself that you have never made a woman feel unsafe.
- You feel defensive about any of this.
Any women, trans or non binary folks have anything to add?
Men, here’s your “me too.”

assuming a woman wrote that (I'm hopeful that it's the ultimate in virtue signaling from a dude), I can only imagine the fucking reaming a guy would get in returnYou don’t reach out to the women you know when shit like this is in the media.
incidentally, she's the only person who's made me understand what sexual harassment feels like, so not too guilty for laughing at this piece of idiocyBeing born pretty, blonde, and voluptuous make me a constant target for sexual harassment and assault.
