Sometimes the male fury over “women getting special treatment” reminds me of that famous gorilla experiment.
One male gorilla gets a banana every single hour.
The females next to him get one every four hours.
Then someone tries to be fairer and gives the females a banana every two hours.
The male gorilla? He has a full meltdown.
He’s still getting his banana every hour ...nothing was taken from him. But his advantage shrank, so to him it feels like theft...
That’s how a lot of men react to basic fairness for women:
Not as justice.
But as losing their extra banana.
Drunk man breaks into dog shelter after losing his own dog to cancer.
Staff thought it was a robbery when cameras caught him walking through the kennel aisle after midnight. The dogs were wide awake, watching him from behind the gates, and no one knew what he was doing there.
Then another camera showed him curled up on the floor, surrounded by dogs.
Police say he had been drinking that night after his dog died the week before. Nothing was stolen. No animals were hurt. He was arrested for breaking in, but shelter workers said the footage was hard to watch.
He didn’t come for money. He came because he missed his dog.
