on the language of 'not all men' and the way that it allows men to distance themselves from the everyday sexism experienced by women.

And yes, I'm deliberately leaving out the word 'some' from any part of that sentence. If, as a man, you need to tell me that you aren't part of this, I don't need to hear it. If, as a woman, you need to tell me that sexism isn't experienced by all women, I don't need to hear it - right now, some woman is biting her tongue in response to casual sexism, because dammit, she needs that job. For those who don't fit on the narrow gender binary, I do understand that it is more nuanced than that.

I am willing to be involved in nuanced discussion. I'm not up to necessarily debating in great depth/with great clarity.
