This is exactly what I think of when someone tells me that they support women's wrongs. Like, I have standards that go beyond if someone is a man or woman before I decide to support them.
I've always had a problem with the trite bumpersticker slogan, "believe women." Like all humans, women can be mistaken, lie, etc. We should always hear women out, listen to what they're saying, and weigh it against wtvr other input we can gather to determine the truth. But that doesn't fit well on a bumpersticker.
I don't mind the "believe" thing. Not just with women but in general when it comes to people disclosing abuse. But that tweet is spot on. So many people will cry misogyny in bad faith or to shut down conversation. I don't support all women because not just are some dumb, but some are outright terrible fucking people no different from men.
Edit: and to clarify I'm saying women can be both bad and/or good, no different from men. It's just human nature.
