Okay saying most men is fine. I just don’t like blanket statements like you insinuating in your original post. I think blanket statements like that are harmful because they make assumptions about who someone is and what they believe simply off their identity that they can’t change
Okay well that’s pretty ignorant to say that you completely don’t care but whatever. Adding that I’m not a cis man for context. I think assuming that anyone is a bad person simply because of what they identify as is harmful because it’s exactly what straight cis people have done to queer people for centuries. If you don’t see that idk what to tell you girl
It’s the principle of it. I don’t think we should treat other people poorly because the system has put them in a position of power and not us. It’s a broken system that was created a long long time ago and there nothing that any of us can do to make systemic change rn. They didn’t ask to be in power just like we didn’t ask to be oppressed. There are many many men who stand with us and support us and what not. Simply saying that all men are the issue is irresponsible
Blanket statement like that save lives when we are talking about cis men. As a woman you are most likely to be raped by a cis man, most likely to experience domestic violence at the hands of a cis man, most likely to be killed by a cis man. All cis men should be viewed as dangerous until they give you a reason to believe they aren’t going to rape and murder you
Girl bffr. Yall are gonna attack me because you aren’t gonna listen to what I’m actually saying, but all lives do matter. I disagree with that movement because it is a movement that undermines and was created in protest of the Black Lives Matter movement. Obviously I support the Black Lives Matter movement. Without the acknowledgment of these specific movements though, all lives are equal (unless you’ve like done some heinous act)
Op brought the system up saying that men aren’t oppressed by lesbians. I think we could all do better with being more precise with language and not creating blanket statements and stereotypes and what not. I’m not saying that either one of you are wrong or anything for having your opinions btw
No that’s valid. Idk how to better explain my position in that sense and there are definitely flaws in my argument considering I only have the understanding that my own life has given me. I do think that hate is a very strong word as well. I think we all hate the system and are frustrated with how it has divided and let so many people be taken advantage of, but I don’t hate the literal people within the system unless they’ve given me a reason to. Idk if that makes sense
That’s an interesting perspective. Genuinely would love to dm and talk privately cause I feel like you’re willing to actually have a conversation. To me hate inherently means that I give attention and thought to these people to actively hate them, whereas most people that I just don’t like much I disregard because like idc about them yk
Genuinely do you realize men are enslaved at a high rate by the prison industrial complex, and men kill themselves more due to lack of mental health access/ societal oppression, and men currently face less opportunity from an education system favored against them? Ik I cant change your mind but go read on the current male experience
men are in prison because men commit more violent crimes, and men die by suicide more often because they tend to choose guns more than women, not because they attempt more. men have equal access to mental health resources they just tend to be more stubborn to accepting help. not because they’re “oppressed”. i urge you to look into how women are victimized by men instead of convincing yourself that men aren’t just victims of their own oppression
Black people enslaved other black people, are you gonna blame black people for slavery now? Black people disproportionately commit more crime, are you gonna blame them now? Do you see the cognitive dissonance here? The privileged men who created a system of oppression against women AND men don't face those negative repercussions, so how can you blame the oppressed men for the privileged men's actions? Why does it matter that the oppressor is a man, when both genders suffer (in different ways)?
