Ok, so this take from rando Coach Bennett is not great … like at all. While he’s right that women should be able to jog by themselves at any time of day or night without feeling afraid, he’s blaming the wrong people. It’s not men, it’s progressive legal systems that release criminals and ignore violent crime because of equity and other BS.
Blaming men? C’mon dude. Those of you who know our policy on covering randos will absolutely agree THIS TWEET deserves a Twitchying.
You should be able to run at 4 AM. You should be able to run at 9 PM. You should be able to run alone. You should be able to run a new trail. You should be able to run when you want & where you want & not be terrified someone will hurt you. Why can’t you? Men. We are the problem.

Freakin’ men. LOL
Just guess how this went over.
You, specifically, are the problem.

Indeed. Weak men are the problem.

Fair point.
Not all men though.

Totally ‘borrowing’ that one.
There is no “we” here. Toxic stupidity

Toxic stupidity.
Booyah.
Not men, you. You are the problem.

Lawless criminals and our justice system are the problem…

There it is.
No, no I'm not the problem.

Bonchie is definitely not the problem.
I’m starting to think not enough people arm themselves (w guns, bear spray, whatever) for protection. “Shouldn’t have to” is a nice thought we should all strive to get to, but we live in reality. And none of the men I know are the problem. https://t.co/oBMw6dM6CS

Umm, coach, I am able to let women run and leave them alone. Aren’t you able to?
If not why not? https://t.co/Mo4kE2UNYz— Andrew Young – TANSTAAFL Curmudgeon (@NucMM1retired) September 11, 2022
Right? Sounds like a ‘him problem’, not a men problem.
You may do that. I don't and my friends don't. https://t.co/E8OFPx2LFu

It’s just … weird.
We get that he’s trying his best to pander to women as he’s never pandered before but YIKES, bro.
This does not look good.
