calling this specific instance a "war" implies that both sides are at fault. women were asked a question, which they answered, the only people offended are sensitive insecure men who insist it's always somehow the woman's own fault when she gets raped
you are right: it's dumb that they're offended. but have you ever met one? they're offended by literally everything
It's a war because people like you make it a binary thing. The entire purpose of this particular video was to create divide and paint men in bad light to farm engagement.
I'm not offended by this because I'm a "sensitive insecure men who insist it's always somehow the woman's own fault when she gets raped"
I don't actually believe that.
I'm just annoyed. I'm just a harmless guy trying to live my life yet I am constantly being told that I am worse than hitler for existing as a male. Sorry I have a penis? I swear I didn't do it on purpose. It just kinda grew in me I didn't have a say.
Please, by all means, pick the bear if you want to or don't. I don't care. Leave me the fuck alone, it's all I am asking. I just want to exist in peace. Stop bothering me with that shit.
and here you are engaging, by your own volition i might add. in order to do what? make sure everyone knows you're a nice guy? that you're not "offended," you're just "annoyed"? your last paragraph certainly reads as much more than just "annoyed"
also, i am a man, though i'm not surprised in the least that someone who plays the "I am constantly being told that I am worse than hitler for existing as a male" victim card assumes i must be a woman. i have to say though, if you're constantly being told this, as you say, then have you ever considered the possibility that the problem might be in something you're doing? i have literally never been told that in my life. i know there are man-hating women out there, but i don't engage with them. why? because i assume they'd rather i leave them alone. actions speak louder than victim cards
by doing what, exactly? not pointing out the fact that way too many women have reasons of their own not to trust strange men? or even fear them? i find that to be tragic, and honestly people who respond to things like this with "no! me! I'M the victim!" make the whole thing worse
Careful, he's sensitive! You might offend him! Just leave him alone, why don't you?!?
These dudes are so, so, SO whiny. Literally on a thread where no one invited them just saying "I'M NICE BUT LEAVE ME ALONE" lolololol
the thing that truly annoys me is people who think they're owed respect and trust--two things that, to my mind, have to be earned. i don't just give those things away for free either. sadly a lot of men think they're entitled to women's automatic utmost respect, while feeling no obligation to return that respect
evidenced by the number of men who take it as a personal attack on themselves when a woman chooses bear
People not trusting strangers is normal. People who think they are owed exemption from this are untrustworthy.
