Huh? I didn't say he was yelling - I said if women are continually yelling at him, he's the common denominator. And no, he didn't present "a balanced view." Also, it's not supporting women if you refuse to take responsibility for the gender norms you've been indoctrinated into - norms that the American Psychological Association and pretty much any other organization that studies this stuff says harm men and absolutely everyone else. If you want to "help" including helping yourself and other men, start taking that part on, because our culture's problems are not due to "bad apples" - they are do to mainstream norms of masculinity and the men who refuse to grapple with that are a part of the problem.

“Nonetheless, when it comes to discussions about men and sexism, the concepts of guilt and responsibility are often confused. They are not the same thing. For conscientious men, especially those who are just beginning to grapple with the enormity of the problem of men’s violence against women, feelings of guilt can be paralyzing, whereas feelings of responsibility at least have the potential to be energizing.”

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover, I'm a child, I'm a mother, I'm a sinner, I'm a saint. I do not feel ashamed. I'm your hell, I'm your dream, I'm nothing in between.
