@pinkcels Nice that the original post is 5 years old and the article quoted said 8 million people. Also in an area of the world where women are barely even considered chattel. Would be nice if that shit never happened, unfortunately not everyone shares the values in the west.
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels Men are treated with suspicion in cases of male-male violence, just doesn't make the news. Men are always to blame no matter what, but I guess you won't see this because you blocked me. Just proves extremists don't want to have a conversation, just want to be "right".
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels I guess if you want to live a life full of fear and hate, that is your choice. While men have a lower chance of being raped, men have a significantly higher chance of being physically assaulted and I won't live in fear and hate because of it.
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels I have not said anything to shame women, nor imply sexism. I have only stated that it is an incredibly small group of men that perform these horrible acts.
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels And no other species would put itself in harm's way to protect those outside it's "family". There are vastly more out there that would stop these terrible things from happening if they saw than the cowards hiding in the dark to perform the acts.
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels Yes the analogy of comparing something that needs interaction with an external force to become dangerous vs sentient beings with many facets to them.
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels It's actually more along the lines of verify its state if it is in your control. Which means you have to perform actions to determine its state. nice jump though
@burnyourbinder@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels If you can't judge an individual based on their own actions and merit and have to give summary judgment based on the horrible actions of a few, the issue is you.
@beerfaery@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels What do you consider a small sample then?
I said nothing that excuses the behavior nor enables it. Stating the vast majority does not participate doesn't do either of those. If I could stop those that do this, I would, but I can't in the same way I can't change the weather.
@dedederinsola@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels Got it. Gross generalization for saying all men are horrible and need to be exterminated is ok, but to show how small of a group that actually took part is not ok.
@TheFreeFeminist@pinkcels Yes 8 million is a large number, 8 million more than it should be. It is also roughly 0.2% of all living males. Using such a small sample to base a hate rhetoric of a group of people and subsequent extermination as some have wished, would not be allowed on any group except men
