Ask almost any woman and they are going to tell you that “good guys” are the worst possible. That is, of course, if there the self-proclaimed type of good guy. Add to that the possibility that one of them might go on a rant and try shaming women who have rejected him in the past and you not only end up with something awkward, you end up with something creepy as well.
This flyer was recently posted on tumbler, and it certainly has caused quite a stir. It shames women for issues such as choosing scum man or not giving good guys a chance. It is posted below but be warned, it is probably one of the more annoying things that you will read today.
After this letter was re-shared on Twitter, it led to quite a response from other Twitter users.
@mitchberghini serious- any guy who tells me “I’m a nice guy” makes me run faster than a doped Olympic track athlete

@BigHairyMarty @mitchberghini “She provoked me by treating me like a creep no matter how much I followed her around and told her I wasn’t.”

@mitchberghini I have a special hatred for those who call themselves “nice guys” & then turn around & shit on women. pic.twitter.com/nBiIl6ZF3E

Perhaps the best response, however, came from the user who originally posted the letter on tumbler. It came in the form of another flyer.
The response reads:
Dear Sir,
If you’re watching some girl you like getting hurt by another guy STOP WHINING ABOUT IT AND DO SOMETHING. Don’t leave some anonymous note on a dorm wall. If you know someone is being hurt DO. SOME. THING.
If you want to play the “good guy” you need to rethink your intentions. If you’re only doing it for gratification, then you aren’t being the good guy. Did Batman give up on Gotham because people weren’t thanking him for saving the city?
You know what I really want? I want respect. I want people to respect that I’d rather not walk with a stranger in the middle of the night. I want people to respect that I can defend myself. I want people to respect that WOMEN CAN DO THINGS WITHOUT A GENTLEMAN TO HELP.
You want to be a gentlemen and a good guy? Start with changing the way you and other men see women. We aren’t fragile things you need to defend. We’re people. Keep holding doors open, keep being friendly, just don’t expect things in return; you aren’t owed anything by this world.
If you want us to be less afraid of the world, then change the world, don’t change us.
Enough said!
