Yeah I have to say I’m pretty disappointed in some of the comments here. If we posted a news article of a women raping a high schooler with a similar caption, it would be a different result. And before anyone comes at me in the comments, no I’m not excusing this pile of filth’s behavior, but it shouldn’t say men in general
Yeah I feel like men saying “not all men rape” has become known as something “only incels say” or something. Which I find crazy lol. Yes, if you’re trying invalidate a woman’s experience or say she’s silly for being scared of an unknown man, then yeah you’re an idiot/incel/whatever. But if you’re just saying “hey, pls don’t lump me in with rapists”, then I think that’s a fair point.
There’s too much nuance in the topic for most internet peoples to feasibly understand. “Not all men rape” is a statement which by itself is fact but when you say that to a woman talking about her experiences then that’s rude. On the other side “it’s all men” is true in certain circumstances, like doctor related sexual assault-1
- but saying “it’s all men” completely invalidates the 10% or so cases of a woman being the perp. Just because men do it more and are generally more violent when they do, does not mean there aren’t woman predators who are accountable for their actions. I’ve been SA a few times and one of the perps was a woman. So the “it’s all men” in general is insulting to me
I’m a little lost by your wording but I think I agree with you? Like I said, if a woman is talking about how she got raped and you jump in with “not all men!”, then yeah that’s irrelevant and you’re a dick. But if someone posts about a rape and says a general statement like “MEN are disgusting” (like this post), then I think it’s fair to say “not all men”. Making massive generalizations like that isn’t helpful to anyone
Why should we focus on race when when it’s humanity thing? It’s not a white, black, Indian, Latino, or Asian thing it’s a humanity thing. Putting blanket statements doesn’t help the actual issue. I was raped by a Latino man multiple times and I’ve been hurt by white men both of those had nothing to do with their race.
Okay #14’s comment was stupid, idk what that was about. Anyway, #2, your reply to me was stupid too. You COMPLETELY avoided my question lol. -I wasn’t talking about race stats, my comment was about headline wording -I picked any non-white race in the USA, in this case, black. My point obviously stands for ANY race. That was such a idiotic attempt to dodge a question
It’s just the way take it differently so it’s not taken as seriously as it should be. I had a friend who slept with his teacher in high school and he always said he’d do it again. Then if there’s a post about it dudes say they wish it was them. In a weird way it is a big mindset difference
