During the last decade, more and more voices in the Mainstream Media and Social Media are accusing all men of being complicit in oppression of women. The basic argument is that not all men are rapists or abusers, but all men are guilty of not doing enough to stop those who are.
Some examples are below:
From Suzanne Harrington: Not all men? Yes, actually, all men are part of the problem
How should men react to these messages?

Oh, but #NotAllMen - the misogynist equivalent of #AllLivesMatter. Yes actually, yes all men. Yes, all men are part of the problem. Yes, all men need to own it, and take action. Yes, all men are complicit in rape culture unless they are actively calling out rape culture. Not all men are rapists, obviously, but most rapists are men.
Men get away with everything from catcalling to harassing to intimidating to abusing because you, the good guys, don’t call it out enough. You don’t shut it down enough. You don’t tackle your mates enough, express your displeasure, nip it in the bud.
