I stumbled upon a conversation about violence against women on Twitter once. The lady spearheading it was of strong opinions against men. Yes, violence against women is abhorrent, and those responsible should be held accountable. Women have the right to be safe.
But … she seemed to be blaming every man on Earth, going so far as to call for their eradication.
I happened to make the innocent (yes, truly, I’d never heard or used the statement before), that ‘not all men’ are like the scumbags who commit violence against women.
Well … !
“FUCK OFF WITH YOUR NOT ALL MEN BULLSHIT, YOU MYSOGYNIST TROLL CUNT!” And further robust exclamations and accusations of that nature ensued.
Educated as to the limitations of my knowledge in this area, I decided to withdraw from the conversation.
Men are the overwhelming victims of non-reciprocal physically violent domestic violence; being about 71% of the victims.
Even in terms of random assaults by strangers, over 80% of the victims are men.
And finally, even if we look at the big kahuna of cross-gender rape, it turns out that women rape men as frequently as men rape women. It’s just that not only have most men been brainwashed into thinking that men cannot be raped, but that even the FBI did not consider it as rape until 2015 (so no national stats exist before this time), and even now many police precincts have software that hard-codes the victim as female and the perp as male, further corrupting justice.
From the time article you linked: "Nearly 7 percent of men, however, reported that at some point in their lives, they were “made to penetrate” another person—usually in reference to vaginal intercourse, receiving oral sex, or performing oral sex on a woman. This was not classified as rape, but as “other sexual violence.”
The term usually is not scientific. There needs to be more clarity here.
Also, this article is strange– it has the aggressive tone of someone with a grudge and something to prove. But the take away of this article seems to be more about standardizing vocabulary when researching sexual assault and rape for better accuracy and NOT about claiming women rape as much as men so therefore sexual assault and rape against women is a non-issue.
I was just there, looking at a meme that I didn’t understand, with comments that I not only didn’t understand, but don’t even comprehend how they relate to the post.
I really try to be understanding and tolerant of all perspectives, but don’t think I’ve ever felt more disoriented in my life. It was totally alien to me.
I chose not to engage, because I couldn’t even figure out what the fuck was going on.

don’t understand how that relates to femcel memes though
Isn’t a femcel a type of battery?
Civil discourse dies on twitter. The algo demands “engagement”.
Also, the absolute irony of using Elon Musk’s platform to push a progressive or faux-progressive view point.
The irony being that,

Sexual assault and rape against men is also an issue and we should start treating it like one.

Poor men, they have it so hard. 😢
Go away tankie.
You’re bloody retarded for supporting regimes that execute queers anyway.
Sorry dronie, a specter is haunting lemmy.
