I have very thick skin. As far as verbal safety- it goes goes more than one way, and I'd win. If I said what I wanted to say here, I'd have many more hides that the more vocal members.

But that's not the issue. Who wants to act like that? The answer, As we see, are more than a few momma's basement dwellers all the way up to "I've been married to a great woman for x amount of years". Which is, essentially hiding behind the claimed relationship to maintain some bullshit point.

So yeah, as long as one can cheerlead oneself-- or with like minded buddies--in anonymity it will never be safe, unless the culture changes and rape and dismemberment threats somehow become uncool.

That they're considered a great way to express displeasure with a point of view of women well, rape culture, misogyny and privilege are clearly in ascendent
