I've said it before, but I think if there's one thing that social media has probably been 'good' for, it's been lifting the veil to allow people like me to see the kinds of relentless unrepentant garbage that some people have to endure.
@TheBreadmonkey one of the most frustrating (& terrifying) things is that a woman never knows if the mansplainer will become violent if his “well-meaning” advice isn’t heeded or received well. So she usually has to thread the needle between acknowledging him w/o encouraging him (bc some men interpret nice = she wants me). Again: it’s exhausting. #NotAllMen
