In case you missed it: Testeria: (noun). The state of men being worked up over women discussing or pointing out misogyny.

adj: "testerical"

"The testerical men flooded social media to decry women preferring to take their chances with a bear in the woods rather than a strange man."

THIS! Speaking/posting in public is something women are not really supposed to do, unless to keep the peace. When we take up space, we receive a backlash from misogynists. I fucking love the chorus of voices here at Spoutible. It is closer to equal than real life.

I said this last night and now I'm going to say it again. Men do not want to hear women speaking freely.

Indeed. The exceptions are statistically insignificant.

Indeed. Sometimes you get a bumper crop of assholes.

Do ALL men, cis-hets and wp do those things? Probably no. So to avoid the response, why not just say truth right off the bat.
eg. Here's a thing that some (or many) (or most) men, cis-hets or wp do that's problematic. then the response can focus on the problematic thing that you are identifying.

Be a better class of man than to throw the responsibility for a man’s horrible actions onto the woman herself. Victims are not responsible for the violence of men.

We don't blame women for trusting their partners not to be evil assholes after a break-up.

Not here.

Victim blaming is shitty, and women aren't psychic or at fault when the men (formerly) in their lives hurt them.

"Do I have this right? Shoigu lied to Putin & pushed him to attack 🇺🇦 to divert attention from his scheme to steal Prigozhin's assets. Then Shoigu tried to get Prigo killed in 🇺🇦 & when Prigo came after him, Shoigu told Putin that Prigo was coming for Putin. Voila! No more Prigo."

I can't say I like all music, but I don't hate any music. Some just doesn't catch my ear or get me excited.

This was the one that hit me the hardest, too.
As a lifelong backpacker and having seen lots of bears and camped in the wilderness near single dudes I don’t know, I’d always choose the bear. People are way scarier than bears

If they aren't talking about you, then they aren't talking about you. 🤷‍♀️

If you've been on Spoutible for a week, you'll notice that it's populated by lots of sane, sensible and alternately silly folks who are also helpful and understanding.

But won't tolerate assholery, dickishness, racism, misogyny, shitting on LGBTQ+, xenophobia, ableism, ageism, etc. Any ?s

Hi white people,

Unless there’s a ‘You’ in front of whatever is going to come next, then the person who is speaking isn’t calling you out personally. Fucking get over yourself and LISTEN to what is being said. Not that fucking hard.

Sincerely,

White dude 😃✌🏻🖖🏻

I think Not All-ing is done when folks feel implicated by association with people they somehow identify with. I belong to certain groups for which I've Not All'd in my head- for ex., Americans. But I don't Not All "out loud" bc the moment is about those whose injury needs to be understood, not me.

I’ve never been bear-splained by a bear. Never been harassed, threatened or assaulted by a bear for simply existing while female. Never passed over for projects or thrown under a bus by a bear. Never had to tell a bear I am married & that I have a black belt to get him to back off.

Funny story, my dear friend who has spent his entire life in New York City, went appoplectic when I told him I was going backcountry hiking in Yellowstone. His concern? BEARS. He was convinced they would murder me.

And I'm like, look around, I've survived New York. I'm not worried about bears. 😂

Unfortunately, they’re going to have to learn that life is about compromise. I think Gaza is a horrific situation too, and I want Netanyahu out, but I don’t think abandoning Israel is the answer. I want the VIOLENCE there to stop. Biden cares and has empathy for both sides.
