Saying things like 'not all men are like that' and 'women do it too' may be defensive but I don't think it's entirely unreasonable for someone to want to add it to the conversation. Nobody's actually denied that men commit the most sexual assaults, I don't think that's anyone's intention.
Tbf sometimes people do refer to 'all men' and lump us all together, not in this thread but generally speaking, it's kind of instinctive just to want to point out that that's not the case (maybe that's to do with our socialisation lol) even if it's not really necessary to do so. I don't think there's any bad intent with it or trying to take anything away from women or it even being because people feel insulted tbh.

I think that would be a really good idea [emoji23] there's obvious links but it's a different topic now and an interesting one that's worthy of its own discussion imo.
