The post doesn't specify a gender for the victims.
But so glad that you felt the need to chime in that it's not all men.
Glad you outed yourself
Yes, yes, it's men who are the true victims in every circumstance. Especially the ones who marry children.
The original post doesn't say that boys aren't also victims of child marriage. And yet here you are.
Please quiet down with your bitter Misandry. Your enemies are the elites (men and women).
Is the misandry in the room with us?
Yes, it's the thing keeping you from hearing the same "some women are pedophiles" all the rest of us got just fine.
Don't defend pedophiles, even cishet femm ones.
The article he linked doesn't say ANYTHING about the gender of offenders. He was sealioning.
The post is talking about child marriage and OP specified that children of all genders are victims.
I know some women are pedophiles. I'm not defending them.
The image OP posted here implied rather clearly that only men are pedophiles.
The post you put your first comment on was a "boys can be victims and women can be offenders" statement with a link.

When you decided to respond to such a statement with a nitoick about what the article says, followed it by focusing on the gender of the victims and not the offenders, and then implied that misandry is a myth when you were called on it, you were carrying water for feminine cishet pedophiles.
All men who take child brides are pedophiles, but not all pedophiles marry their victims.
The post already says that boys are victims and the link he provided says nothing about offenders at all.
He was literally replying with a "not all men" statement. Clearly it's not all men - it's men who want to marry children.
Where did I imply that misandry is a myth? I refuted that I personally am a misandrist.
How the fuck is "Children of all genders are harmed by sexual predators and all genders can be sexual predators, not just men." a "not all men" statement?
Where? Because the post of yours that I originally replied to sure as fuck reads as "misandry is a myth, how dare you use that word"

And, in the post this one is attached to, you continue implying that women are not ever comitters of pedophilia, only ever its victims.
I'm generally willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I dont see how either of your responses to me at all refute the accusation that you are a man-hating misandrist attempting to spread the idea that all adult pedophiles are men.
Just saying "I'm not a misandrist" doesn't count as refutation anymore here than "I'm not a wife beater" would if said by a man with bloody knuckles and a beaten wife. As far as I can tell you dont accept that misandry is a thing that exists, and do not see casual discrimination against men as a bad thing.
Are you blind? That is a literal "not all men" statement.
I have never implied once that women aren't committers of pedophilia. Your linked comments don't work on my instance, so if you're quoting something I suggest you actually quote it in your comment.
If you're linking to my sarcastic reply about men always being victims, I guess comedy is illegal now lol
You're boxing shadows - I have not once in this entire thread said what you are claiming.
Yeah exactly.
Why did you feel the need to make sure OP knew that boys are also victims when they already acknowledged that?
Were you aware that the article you linked says absolutely nothing about the offenders?
I was repeating the part they already stated and then adding my own addendum after, so there would be less confusion as to which part I was referring to. I guess I failed at that.
Are you implying that all the marriages of underage boys were gay marriages?
Absolutely not lol
You jumped in to say that not all offenders are men and then linked an article that says nothing about offenders of child marriage at all.
Okay, follow me here. If the marriages to underage boys aren't gay marriages, then what would the gender be of the adults marrying the young boys?
Might've overlooked it. Depending on the client and device a short comment can be easy to miss; for me it's above the image and the image is comparatively much bigger than on the screenshot above. I also overlooked it at first.
And without the comment as context, the post looks like it states the exact opposite of what it actually does.
But the image literally says "children" and not "girls".
Haha I actually lolled at that. Brilliant
Does the Misandrist not have a mirror?
Hating men who rape children is misandry now?
Well I suppose I'm alright with that lol
Hating pedophile-rapists will always be a morally good position, but attempting to saying that all pedophile-rapists are men-- when we all know that pedo-rapists can be either men and women --is misandry.
Why are you pro adult-rapists?
How am I?
You said pedophile-rapists are bad, not just once, but twice. Therefore you must be pro-adult-rapists. Merely criticizing one group means you are supporting any adjacent groups.
True. It would seem so, but I am also anti-adult-rapists.
I am anti-harming innocent people.
Where did I say that?
