I hate how a lot of men make the rest of us look bad. Can we just chill out for a bit? Like, can guys stop beating on their wives, molesting children, raping, and murdering? Please? Idk what to do besides just be chill myself and try to encourage others to be the same. Let's just read some books with some piano in the background.
It's an absolute shit show.
Women have it bad. Honestly I don't know how how you all have the patience to try to figure out which guy isn't a psycho.
As a cis het man, I know that alone is enough to make some women say "pass".
I feel like if men learned more about consent and empathy and stopped listening to assholes like Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan, we'd be in a much better state.
It's mainly a white man and Indian man (aka pick mes) thing, but black men and Latino men are catching up.
Had my first creep encounter at night outside after transitioning. Nooot fun lol
No patience, just sheer terror.
people who blame you for the actions of others are idiots and dicks.
stop feeling guilty by association, have some pride in yourself.
I don't feel guilty by association, and I am proud of how much I've grown and accomplished this far, I'm happy with myself - still hate those guys making the rest of us look bad though, and deservedly so.
People succumbing to all those biases do suck, but also I think collectively it sucks when there are people out there padding those stats and feeding into those biases further.
I don't look bad because they do those things. I am not them. What a bizarre proposition.
Do you not know how stereotypes work?
Men = bad?
So I guess that's a no
Allow me to explain this to you since you seem to be a bit slow.
Thinking all men are bad is an example of a very common stereotype.
Maybe you thought you were conveying more information than you were, but the comment I replied to literally just says "men=bad?"
How the fuck am I even supposed to interpret that as a reply to what I said?
Maybe take a look at the discussion before getting so angry and hostile. Your reply is a nonsense sentence fragment the ends in a question mark. Not exactly sure what you were trying to say.
nah bro, you don't understand. you and anyone penis having adjacent are personally liable for the actions of every man...
or so feminist theory says.
weird though that when a woman rapes a kid, or beats someone, or murders someone... not all women are responsible for her actions... she's just some lone psycho..
The number of men that do those things compared to the number of women doing those same things aren't in the same ballpark.
"Black people commit more crimes than white people"
This is the level of your dumb fucking argument right there.
I'm OK with hearing black people commit more low level crimes than white people.
I'll take that over 7 out of 10 white men either fuck children or want to fuck children and 7 out of 10 white women are more likely to lie and make false allegations to avoid accountability for anything.
It really isn't, that's a whole other subject entirely filled with its separate issues i.e. oppression keeping black people impoverished, more wrongful arrests made on black people, etc.
It's ironic that you're getting angry about a comment where I'm asking men to chill out. Chill, go read a book with some piano in the background.
If you want to have meaningful discussion about the stats and how men are misrepresented by them, by all means present your case respectfully and we can discuss it further.
