Men are protectors of men, and that’s often where the buck stops. You want to find men being protective? Go under a tweet where a woman is calling out her abuser & there will be a men in there deflecting, interrupting and denying on his behalf.
Know this and know peace

And before anyone leaps in with a “not all men”, ask yourself if I said all men.
That too is another way in which men protect men.
Even when we are pointing out undeniable negativity from men, rather than add to that conversation, you want to highlight that good men exist.

I believe that it has been culturally convenient for men to benefit off the idea that they are overall protectors, but one just needs to pay attention to their community and how it operates, to realize who men are consistently effective in protecting, it’s themselves.
Learning early that a protective nature is an individual behavior present in all genders, & not just found in men, will allow women to stop trading their safety, benefits & rights to men in exchange for protection that simply is nonexistent.
We have always protected ourselves.

And yet as harrowing as her demise was, Nigerian people, notably men created and circulated a false story to smear her image to protect her killer’s intentions.
Open your eyes.
