    I never said men can’t do anything wrong.

    What I meant was “boys” will treat women like this. “men” won’t. It’s just a term. Not to be interpreted literally. And also, this isn’t to assume men are exempt from making mistakes, we’re all human and we’re all flawed, but it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to know that treating ANYONE like this isn’t something that is defined as “a mistake.”

        Yes. It does. If we’re inaccurately defining the term “men” as a gender only, then what they do is entirely irrelevant- as behavior isn’t defined by gender. But that’s not what I’m doing here.

        I’m taking about the term “men” as one being a grown adult. And grown adults don’t behave this way. children that don’t know better do. Don’t get wrapped up in absolutes here. It’s just a play on words tweak of terminology.

        Men (adults) know better.
