No, Jake. While it would be easy to agree with much of what you write, the point of what Georgie, and others, are saying is that it’s not just the aggressively angry foul-mouthed 3% super-douche Jamba Juice murderers. Those guys are low-hanging fruit. Too easy. It’s so many others, who, despite thinking of themselves as ‘nice guys’ or whatever, often unknowingly, make these slights against women, or tolerate such attitudes in the name of ‘getting along’. Like what Bisharat has done in that post.

I don’t know him, but I’ll go out on a limb and bet he’s never even mocked someone at Jamba Juice, let alone murdered them. He’s a smart guy, who is largely aware of social issues outside climbing, has a wife and child, is educated, articulate, has experience in these matters — and still he writes things like that. He’s no monster, it’s worse than that — he’s relatively normal.

The problem is not the minority. The problem is what the majority have come to accept as normal and OK. They’ve (i.e. us, we, me) have been allowed to think that because of other power imbalances in our social systems. Men have had the money, the media, the strength of convention and history. At least so far. As the guy said, “the arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice.”
