On: Calling Men Trash? by Reyna Noriega

That's the narrative nowadays. As everyone becomes blatantly open about their gripes and as we push for a more conscious society, the Internet has decided men are trash. They're cancelled. Thassit! We are sick of their sh*t.

Its funny on twitter and little memes but in reality, is the statement fair? And more than that, what can we do about it? ​

It seems like the collective opinion. Like all men are trash. Personally, I've never liked generalizations and this one is no different. We can't get to the root of the problem with a generalization, just like the “all black women are bitter and loud” narrative. First of all we have to admit the problem doesn’t solely lie with men or any one race, in general, some people just suck! Some of the societal norms in place can be blamed for why it may seem to be more saturated for one group versus the others but noting that is important when we want to get to the bottom of these character traits that grind our gears. For example, we want men to be in tune with our emotions yet raise men to be emotionless, it’s crazy to think that a skill as complex as that can turn on with a snap of our fingers! I’ve been emotional all my life and that stuff is still difficult for me.
