Few adult men are killed by adult women. Our fear is real
Ah yes, the very unbiased and fair comparison between murder and podcast incels. There are no real issues that men are facing…
I don’t understand why people can’t support women while supporting men too. I can. You can do too. It is not women vs men. It is tradition/sexism vs individual freedom/respect.
I hate these kinds of posts too. All they do is promote division in these times we have to stick together against the billionaires
The worst part… it works. E.g. on me, and i know. It is difficult to see these kind of posts, which are clearly misandry, and then hear people deny the trend for misandry, especially online.
OBVIOUSLY there is a shit tonne of misogyny, especially online and that is a big problem. But we shouldn’t ignore the trend to misandry. It is not a competition and we fight against misogyny better if we fight sexism in general, I believe.
But the posts make me feel like a shocking amount of people are not against sexism but just misogyny. How am I supposed to feel like those are not my enemy when I am opposed to sexism?
Then I spend time with the people that I love and I am good again but… it is fucking poison.
This post still isn’t at bad as a roofie.
We can start working on posts like this once we’ve solved the roofie problem.
What counts as “solved”? What are the goalposts, and who gets to judge those?
A roofie isn’t as bad as the bombing of schoolchildren. We can start working on roofing until we’ve solved the warcrime problem.
Why are they being racist and using a black man to illustrate dangerous masculinity!!!1!
Dangerously sexy
The overwhelming majority of men aren’t doing that shit.
The overwhelming majority of men have failed to protect women from the bad men. Good men don’t just not abuse women. Good men actively protect women from abuse.
Men have more physical power and more political power in the patriarchy. And with great power, comes great responsibility. Spider-Man uses his power to protect women from abuse. Every man should be like Spider-Man.
Spider-man is a vigilante who constantly fucks up and makes the system worse. He is also, and I cannot stress this enough, a work of fiction. Relying on the individual wills of physically and politically powerful men, even well-intentioned ones, is how we get to authoritarianism and fascism. The answer is not in individuals, but in systems.
In reality, the closst thing we have to Spiderman IRL is the NYPD, and we’ve already seen how ACAB.
The men with the most physical and political power are the ones abusing that power. The problem is the concentration of power, not men.
What happens when the “bad” men have more physical and political power than the “good” ones do in a system that allows those individuals to exercise that power unilaterally?
I’ll counter this with any “real housewives” tv drama bullshit.
Proves that women are all etcetc
I like to turn the shower on and fill the tub up and pretend I’m in a submarine that’s been hit
How do you plan your escape?
Raise the periscope while still near the surface and hope that a friendly ship spots the feather first.
a tug maybe…
That’s a perfect metaphor for crying over „man hating feminists“.
Reminds me of an IDLES lyric: “Men are scared women will laugh in their face, women are scared it’s their lives men will take.”

As soon as guns were invented this bullshit was over. Anyone can be killed by anyone. If you’re worried about it, get a fucking gun. Guns illegal? Better study the blade.
Hey, I think I found the perfect profile pic for you.
What about a the other 4.2 billion women that don’t live in Shithole USA?
You are an idiot
What about if blades illegal? And before you go there, yeah defence sprays illegal, sticks illegal, stones illegal, even a fucking spoon illegal if they think or you state that it’s for self-defence.
I use getting attacked for self-defense so now that’s illegal too.
