im not supporting this stupid hastag but it is kinda infuriating to be presumptively lumped in with these predators
You know what's weird? When conservatives say you can't teach about slavery because their children will feel guilty. Always found that weird cuz I never felt guilty. I feel that the horrors of the past can be evaluated and understood so they won't be repeated in the future. Guilt has never crossed my mind. At least not personal guilt, societal guilt is another matter.
It's always been my Inkling that people who do feel personal guilt are the ones who are forced to face something about themselves. About their own biases. About their own prejudices. About their own bigotry. About the way they live their lives and take advantage of their fellow man. About how they choose not to improve the system and would rather ignore injustices. That they feel guilty because they have a guilty conscience.
Not sure why that came to mind while reading your comment...
Who's doing that?
people posting these lazy arguments
Oh I think you should read his post again then.
yea but it’s like the internet is bigger than this bait post and maybe my experience is related but not directly responding to this
If it’s not directly related and you think this is a bait post, why comment complaining about being lumped in with rapists?
what part of my two statements was confusing to you?
seems pretty self explanatory
Only confusing part is why you think anyone is grouping you with rapists. Unless you feel there’s a reason you should be grouped with them?
The point of this entire post is that of course it’s not all men. But it’s a lot of men and we have got to talk to and teach our boys to not fucking rape people.
You have to teach them about consent. Most people don't have a good grasp on what consent is.
I truly believe it starts with respecting their autonomy as well. Asking for hugs, stopping tickling when they say stop, teach them in action that we should all respect each other’s boundaries. Teaching consent starts young.
I don't think casually implying people who disagree with you are rapists is a good thing
I think they are feeling offended on behalf of rapists and it’s a valid question.
You don't hear them saying "a lot of men..." They just say "men..."
Like, get it right and the argument dies...
none of these arguments are new, this post is literal lazy rehashed bait from other social media
making this about my acceptance when ive literally done nothing wrong is lol
more so when the OP started making baseless claims on my character when i replied to them the same way i am here
their behavior proved my point ad nauseum regardless of what they claim but im sure your arguing in good faith
And yet this keeps happening over and over and over again.
Over 90% of sexual assault and rape perpetrators never see the inside of a jail cell.
People are rightfully angry about this issue.
Eh once I saw who posted it it all made sense. Rage bait is their thing.
Better than all those rape and pedophile jokes I was first introduced to here when I joined.
figures with how they immediately jumped to implying I was a sexual predator for calling them out
Asking why you’re so offended on behalf of rapists isn’t quite accusing you of being one, it’s just very interesting that you feel defensive about this.
I mean, they could have the best intentions, not sure but they definitely want to showcase how virtuous they are and if you don't agree lockstep you're on their shitlist and are terrible. Called them out once and they snapped back instead of reflecting on anything. Basically their status is more important than any message they are trying to convey.
I've blocked them. It's not worth the hassle.
I'm not open to debating whether women deserve rights.
yea that is textbook purity test level bullshit
far better to just block and move on
God forbid anyone purity test to weed out rapists and rapist sympathizers.
It's definitely infuriating, if only there was something we could do to ensure that men, usually white men, werent the most likely instigators of domestic violence and racism in western countries.
That line of thinking is a dangerous one.
Yeah it might lead to improved education and social support networks!
yep clearly we all need to virtue signal harder on the interwebs
As if you weren’t virtue signaling to other men who felt offended by being part of the gender that has the most rapists.
