"If you as a woman or femme person genuinely want to combat patriarchy, one of the easiest things you can do is make it safe for the men in your life to be vulnerable with you."
- this tweet from a now suspended account “@eldritchmother” got many people riled up: maybe they understood it be different than what I understood.

So lets look at some of the replies and I will talk about what I understood by it; and the fact that I didn't find it offensive in any way.

My final take-away is "do not talk about men’s mental health – ever. If you do, you are either a moid, promoting patriarchy, incel, hate woman, anti-feminism and so on. Isn’t life grand?"
