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.

    It’s incredible. You guys spent the good part of the last 8 years alienating the male voter

    Then you lost the election, in part because of that.

    And instead of reconsidering

    You guys double down

    It’s almost admirable, if it weren’t for the constant complaining about losing the election.

    I mean if you are gonna do this, pushing away half of voters, then don’t be surprised you lose against JD Vance in 2028 elections

    The stunlock is real, and it keeps on

      they lost because they alienated the anti-genocide voter, not because of you insignificant dorks who take it personally when women express fear in a patriarchal society that’s overwhelmingly violent against them. you were never going to vote anything other than chud anyway.

      it’s normal, or at least it used to be normal and even encouraged by men for women to be cautious about men because men make it dangerous out there. encouraged to carry mace, to only meet men for the first time in public places. for a lot of men this has been a social norm and it’s perfectly understood why. the ones who aren’t understanding this are the ones that women should be afraid of.

      Why did you bring US politics into discussion?

      According to pbs and wikipedia, 4% of the US male population voted for Kamala Harris less compared to women

      This could have possibly affected the results of the 2024 US election if those 4% voted for Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump, but that would ignore the effects of propaganda

      First of all, I’m glad you found a way to make this political. Good on you.

      Second of all, just like secure straight men don’t get violent when they’re accused of being gay, there should be no reason upstanding men should take it personally when women voice their concerns about other men.

      I don’t. Why do you?

        Misandry is where you see men as the problem - nothing more or less. It’s easy to quote stats, it’s much harder to address the real issues underneath.

          i don’t see men as the problem, i see patriarchy as the problem. patriarchy causes disproportionate violence from men. observing the consequences that stem from larger social issues and how they affect you personally doesn’t mean you deny the existence of the said issues. calling it misandry only serves to downplay the effects of those consequences and ultimately downplay the existence of their source.

      Where is the mention of the victim’s gender in this meme? If there was a man in a picture, not a woman, do you think the text would be less true? Do you feel comfortable walking somewhere at night when some strange man starts walking up to you? I sure as hell don’t despite my possession of a penis.

        I mean, if I were to throw out lines such as “if only women didn’t demand so much”, I’d be guilty of misogyny regardless of who I implied the demand was levied against.

        The misandry here is “men love to commit murder”, not the implication of who is murdered.

          Yes, if you divorce part of a sentence from the context in which it was placed, it does become bigoted.

          I assume you don’t think this person means every time they have ever walked anywhere at night in their entire life when they talk about night walks, but you assume this person means every single man. It shouldn’t be necessary to have that explained to you.

          Also, you don’t seem to understand the difference between punching up and punching down.

    Every male animal that works or lives in close contact with humans has it’s testicles removed so it calms down and stops causing problems.

    Except the human animal of course, because they’re the ones running the show and they’d have issues with removing their balls.

      So, at what age are you proposing this to be done? Would you be proposing the reversible version of a vasectomy? Who decides if its allowed to be reversed? Are you advocating for a worldwide birth decline, because most men would rather have the sex without the burden/scare of pregnancy anyway, so if they were forced to do it why would they undo it? Are you prepared for the christian-ethno state to form when the only people having kids will be the ultra-religious who believe in a stupid fucking sky daddy who tells them to have 60 billion children? Did you consider ANY of that before writing this stupid fucking comment that compares getting your cat neutered so he doesnt piss on the Furniture to getting human males neutered so they dont… kill someone in an allyway??

        I smoke a lot of weed, but at least my masculinity is rock solid enough that I dont interrupt an observation as a personal attack.

        It’s okay everyone, no one is coming for your balls. Just take a deep breath till you calm down.

          First of all, I have 0 masculinity. Now, I might have interpreted your comment wrong, but it seems like you’re saying that all men should be castrated, and if that’s what you meant, you should be able to see that it’s fucked up.

    That’s why you get a gun. Practice and be prepard to use. Don’t ever hesitate, someone tries to attack you, regardless of gender, they forfeit their right to life.

    (Also get pepper spray in case you are in a dangerous situation, but its not enough to warrant a deadly response, then just fucking spray them, and run. If they chase after you, fucking shoot them.)

    This advice goes for both men and women.

    TLDR: Get pepper spray, and get a gun. Use them in that order.

    I like to do a fun exercise every time I read something like this.

    Swap the word for who you are accusing with some other group. If this make the statement distasteful then the statement is distasteful in it’s orginal form.

    The Left like to blame men, the right like to blame immigrants so for example: “it’s a shame immigrants love to commit murder”.

    Why is it okay to say men love to murder but not immigrants?

        Certain minorities have higher chances of committing crimes as well but treating them differently based on that is textbook discrimination. Weird how one judgment is okay and the other is not.

          Not 7.5 times higher though. No other factor is as big a predictor as gendered violence. Men commit violence against women and other men much, much more often than women do.

          And if you are a man, you should be just as mad because the chances that you are a victim of a violent act by another man is much higher too.

          Not all men are violent, but men and women are both victims of the anger of this small-subset of men that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.

            that we have been unable to identify what else they have in common beyond gender.

            Don’t look at a breakdown by race or google 13/52, you might find that generalizing based on demographics and using it to fearmonger like you’re doing is in actuality a tactic also already used by racists to other the outgroup and scare their base too. Don’t worry though you’re fine, it’s only bad when they do it.

        Well, yeah. Who is doing the overwhelming majority of the murdering? And why does this fact bother upstanding men at all? Are you not secure in your ability to convince others that you’re not a threat? I have no problem with that at all.

    Random woman: I like late night walks, but I’m scared for my safety.

    This thread for some reason: YOU DON’T THINK MEN GET SCARED? MURDERED!?

    Like, chill. Yes, men can absolutely be murdered/hurt walking alone. But are we really going to sit here and act like women are making up their concerns/grievances out of spite? For some reason, if anyone mentions a general concern/issue related to women’s experiences with men, some people trip over themselves to say how it’s actually not an issue and how it’s actually so much worse for men. If I’m listening to a male DV victim and I go, “well, actually, women are more likely to be victims of DV. You know, it’s actually not even an issue for you. Here, look at these numbers that prove that women are the victims. Do you not mention it because you hate women? Why are you trying to ruin our spotless reputation as delicate flowers that can do no wrong with your lies”, you would think I was nuts, and for good reason.

    You are 10x more likely to die by falling, car crash or unintentionally poisoned than get murdered.

    You are 20x more likely to die by falling, car crash, or unintentionally poisoned than get murdered, as a woman.

    Women are actually much less likely to get murdered in general.

    Stop villainizing men. This is equally as idiotic as villainizing POC because they have higher crime rates Dont sink to the level of the GOP by generalizing. The unfair alienation of young men is real, and ultimately cost us the election, just so we can feel better than them.
