I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.

    There is actual evidence of discrimination against racial minorities from the authorities, not discrimination against men, of whom the authorities are predominately comprised of. And as I said before, on the matter of violence against women, the authorities’ crime statistics are not the only evidence corroborating this. I’ve posted links to different sources throughout the thread if you care to look.

    I think you must be assuming my gender because these are not my problems. I’m not a woman. I don’t need to be to speak out against discrimination against women from men. And I agree, we can’t fix this without the cooperation of men, of whom can hold other men accountable, because as you and many others in this thread have shown, men won’t listen to women about this at all.

      I don’t believe I used incorrect pronouns anywhere. Please point out where and I will edit my comments. Sorry if I have.

        Saying that men aren’t the cause of my problems when I’m talking about women’s experiences with violence against them from men. They aren’t my problems, but nevertheless I care about them.

          Yeah? I’m not saying otherwise. I don’t like the default for the term “men” implying murderer. You’re insisting it’s okay to call men murderers because they’re not saying all men are murderers and men have murdered people in the past. I don’t think your mind will change on this and I’m satisfied with everything I’ve said so I’ll leave replies unanswered from here. I’m sure re-reading my original comment with a clear head should help you understand my view better.

            Stop misrepresenting my arguments. I’m not saying men are murderers because men have murdered people in the past, it’s because to this day the people responsible for the most murders (and other violent crime toward women) are men. It’s specifically an issue with men!

            I’ve also said everything I feel I need to. Frankly, I’m exhausted with you too. I hope you get a sense of perspective.
