Antisexism
This community is about Antisexism, a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against gender stereotypes and all sorts of gender-based discrimination.
Here you can share useful materials (articles, research, statistics, opinions...) on gender-based discrimination against men, women, and nonbinary people, and participate in common discussions and activities.
Rules:
1. No promotion of patriarchy (or matriarchy)
Systems based on dominance of one gender harm everyone, including, often times, people in the dominant group. They are intrinsically sexist and therefore strictly forbidden in this community.
2. Be civil and listen before you speak
The issues of gender equality often come as contentious. Remember - there are no enemies here! The purpose of this place is to discuss and find solutions together.
3. Respect personal experiences
All of us have different history and issues regarding gender stereotypes. Every experience is valid! Don't try to belittle it.
4. Everyone is welcome!
Antisexism is about everyone: men, women and nonbinary, cis- and trans-people. Every group and every person individually have unique experiences that we need to address.

Weren't these guys all derided as "white knights," "nice guys," and "epic gentlemen" for the past decade at least?
Has that changed? Is chivalric heroism back in or are women still "not a delicate flower who needs your protection"?
I'm not trying to be belligerent, I'm just genuinely confused on what's expected of me as a bystander and as (ostensibly) a man...
I assume it's not meant to be interpreted in a way where men would be evenly distributed in that scale.
That is a good point, that is possible.
My first take would be that the visual implication still should be recognised if thats the intent, but I don't have a good reason to assume anything malicious.
Maybe the graph is supposed to show that (for some reason exclusively male) rapists decisions are evil beyond the physical rape?
Ie that rapist-ism is a continuous function (that is all morally evil), not just a discrete step sudden evil. I can see how claiming rape as a one time thing is used to minimise victims experience, and I agree that this is a valuable distinction. I just can't see why the author felt they had to base the graph on gender.
Then again, the author is human like everyone else so I guess their personal experience (on a topic like this potentially even PTSD) will bias their work, and we can't expect everyone to be perfectly woke 110% of the time.
