It’s like they use the fact that there are worse men out there and they’re like “well at least im not them” instead of aiming to be someone better in general.

He treated me like he couldn’t stand me. When I’d bring it up he’d say “I’m a lot nicer than most guys out there”

My ex used to say “at least I’m not abusive or an alcoholic”. So the absence of him being one of those things meant that I was supposed to appreciate him. So bizarre.

I'd say it's sickening that this even needs to be explained to these guys, but I'm certain they already know, and just want to keep playing dumb and lowering the bar for acceptable male behavior down past hell and into the abyss itself.

Neglect is still abuse. Not being involved in your partner's well-being is passive. It's abandonment. It's harmful.

They try so hard to convince us that their bare minimum is above and beyond.

I didn’t check the original video yet, but i immediately am doubtful on whether or not his definition of “mean” is the same as our definition of it. Cuz a lot of men think not smiling is ‘mean’ so 🙄

I always ask the self proclaimed good men what good things they've actually done? Not doing bad things doesn't make you a good person, it just means you aren't a bad one. You have to do good things to be a good person.

what's really sad to me is how many Women describe their "good men" by - He never laid a hand on me, He doesn't cheat, He doesn't swear at me, ect. GURRRL, smfh, that's not a "good man", that's the BARE MINIMUM.

It’s bc society rewards men more for not being bad than they do for being good… mediocrity has been rewarded and is now their norm…

my husband, who i am now separated from, has acknowledged that he may as well have been a painting for all his actual involvement in our day to day lives, and has also acknowledged that, despite me having said for the past 3 years that i was thinking about divorce, that he thought he was "being a good husband" because he wasnt treating me the way he had seen men treat his mother growing up. he thought as long as he was working, not an alcoholic, and not hitting me or yelling at me or being contolling about money, that he was being a good husband.......

the bar is so low for them, and they all want to keep it that way. being a "decent man" is something they think deserves to be celebrated and worshipped.

It's disingenuous to say a man needs to be nicer than a woman when the issue is actually that we all need to measure niceness on the same scale.
