Patrick Fenelon @patrickfenelon.bsky.social · 2hReasonable people can probably disagree on this though. But I wonder if a different approach is possible & more effective, though I don't know what it would be 120
Patrick Fenelon @patrickfenelon.bsky.social · 2hI don't think that would be effective, as the intentional segregation happens from both sides. If I call out a shitty dude for being shitty, that person either knocks it the fuck off if they're redeemable, or both of us stop hanging out together. Shitty people don't like getting called out 230
Patrick Fenelon @patrickfenelon.bsky.social · 3hThe discourse about men needing to hold other men to account is going around again. While that needs to happen, I think that decent men tend to cut off shitty men like that from their lives, & that's a big reason why shitty men are not held to account. I don't know what to do about this 4292
