To challenge men for violence against women

I’m not the only one who thinks so, either.

When I say that we’re not doing enough to
“challenge men for violence against women & girls,”
am I to say we’re not doing enough to
“challenge people for violence against people?”
I will not do that
It doesn’t put the blame where it belongs
It doesn’t protect those most at risk

There are many many more furious retorts, but they’re all replies so the Guardian tweet would reappear with each one so I’ll leave it at that.

“To challenge cismen for violence against non-men.”

This is probably the least obnoxious use of ‘people-for-women’ I’ve seen here, honestly; more of a bit of shit icing on the turd cake than anything else, mainly because I haven’t heard of any gendered aspects to the vaccination clashes in the first place.
