    Part of the insistence of ACAB is to push these non bastard cops to do something about their bad reputation, in my opinion. Like, I don’t truly believe most women saying “all men” mean “ALL” it’s meant to fire the men up who don’t want it to be all men.

    To a certain extent, “every cog is crooked in a corrupt machine” and some are definitely sticking to that. But in either case, the desired outcome is that the good hearted people will make a change. Either cop as a profession will disappear, and those people give their time to the public in other ways, or the cancer will be excised from within.

      As a man, I can confidently tell you, that causes the opposite effect. Just makes you isolate from the group that hates you, obviously. And for me, that’s everyone/everything anyway.

        I also know a lot of men who aren’t affected by it in this way. If you can’t get over the “all men” rhetoric, you’re high-key too sensitive. And I’m really fucking sensitive.

          Yes I fucking am, and I should be. I don’t want or need to be lumped in with this shit, I am fine without more human bullshit. It’s bad enough to go work somewhere that you are judged just for trying to eat healthy, I don’t have to tolerate any injustice.
