I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.

    yes, a comment about your experiences and feelings as a man under a thread about women’s experiences. i’m staying on the topic hand.

    i shouldn’t have to explain to you why going “okay but what about men” every time women talk about their experiences is problematic and dismissive.

      My comment is about the woman blaming men for being scared to go out at night. It’s directly related to the topic at hand. I am dismissive not of this woman’s experience, that is being scared to go out at night, but of her claim that this is men’s fault. I think men are right to be pissed at being blamed for this.

        Men are at fault though. Women aren’t the ones attacking women, men are. Almost entirely. Who are they therefore supposed to blame so that your fee-fees don’t get hurt? And for the last fucking time, “men” doesn’t mean all men including you.

          If you’re not referring to men don’t say men. Women do attack women. It happens. My point is that it would be illogical and sexist to blame women for this.

            What part of “men are at fault though” don’t you understand? I am referring to men. I’m not referring to ALL men. That’s the distinction. You’re being obtuse.

            Women do not attack women NEARLY as much as men do. It is not equal at all. You are also being disingenuous.

                I have evidence for my claims, which deal entirely in facts detailing that men in particular are the ones statistically likely to commit violence against women, and that therefore the original post is correct in its assertion that “men are murderers”. Calling women sluts isn’t even something that can be backed by evidence because it’s just a misguided and misogynistic opinion on female sexual expression. There is no fact-based way to measure something like that.

                You know, I’m beginning to think you aren’t arguing in good faith here.

                    When a particular demographic and no other demographic is doing a certain thing, it’s not incorrect to point out the said demographic is doing that thing. I really don’t know why this is so hard for you.
