The war on "are we dating the same guy" groups

We're not going to be silenced

By Lena BaileyPublished about a year ago 3 min read

If you don't know there have been groups that have been popping up all over Facebook. Some of them are called "are we dating the same guy" and there is at least one for each state or city. If you don't know what these groups are, they're groups where women can warn each other about men who are no good. Yes, there is occasionally crazy women and women who lie but for the most part the groups are a good thing.

Then came the snitches that led to the war on these groups. The snitches are usually pick me girls or the bitter friends of the guys who are posted in the group. They tell the guy what is being said and then all of a sudden, we have awful men playing victim.

Then some of those men started making their own groups. Where they complain about women. I think they probably did it as a joke or retaliation. I have never heard what they have posted. I am curious since they only started to pop up after the don't date him groups. If they are being used to warn men of bad women then that's fine but if they are being used for the 'wrong reasons than that's bad. Also it only works if they are telling the truth. If they are telling other men that a woman is crazy when in reality that could be bad.

Also the lawsuits started to pop up as well. Men are suing the members because the women were talking about things that men had done. The guys were salty that women were talking. Could women lie, yes. But if it was just a lie why not address it privately and not sue? It's probably because they want to make a point. They want us to pay for their mistakes apparently.

Now the groups are being shut down which is kind of sucky. We make back up groups, but we shouldn't have to. We should just be left alone.

Yes, in these groups there are women who are bitter and homophobic, but they usually get kicked out very quick. The bitter women also get ignored by the women who are actually looking for answers. I don't post a lot because of the bitter women.

These groups exist to help women to make sure women don't date attached or otherwise awful men. The pick me women and the mean bitter women were the only downfall to these group. Then this war became the major downfall for these groups.

Men don't understand the world of problems and danger that they created for women. The fact that we have to have these groups and do other things to be safe speaks to what we go through and what we get put through.

As women we have to be aware of our surroundings. We can't walk alone at night. We have to have at least pepper spray. We have to let someone know of our where abouts at all times. We have to wonder of the guy that we are talking to is truly safe AND single.

Not all men are the problems but it's mostly men that are the issues. Men's behavior drove us to want to be single. Their behavior also drove us to want out own space. We also have to fight for our rights. It's rough to be a woman. Instead of changing their behavior men decide that they want to give us more of a reason to feel the way we do.

I don't hate men I really don't I just hate the environment that they created. I hate they have to be on high alert while alone or with a man. If all men were good men women wouldn't treat men the way they.
