This is the shit that makes men look bad.
Men absolutely do not experience sexual harassment at the same level that women do.
It’s not close at all.
Why can’t we just let the women have a dub without being all “buhhh what about da men???”
And women don't experience accusations of sexual harrassment at the same level that men do.
Men also experience plain physical assault at ~5x the rate of women.
Why can't we just support equality for everyone? Why is that so hard?
As much as you want to try to paint men as the victims, they’re just not.
Yes, it happens. No it does not happen nearly as frequently.
This issue is extremely skewed toward women.
People of all types are victims of various stereotypes.
What does this even mean lmao
I just don’t see this need to want to be a victim.
It's not that complicated roflcopter. I don't know how to break it down any further.
Why would you think anyone wants to be a victim?
Because you’re bending over backwards to try to show men as the victims of rampant sexual harassment when it overwhelmingly occurs to women.
Men are not being victimized here, women are just getting relief
I didn't even so much as suggest that they were victims of any sexual assault at all, much less "rampant" . You just made all of that up.
I’m done with you homie.
You’re not a victim no matter how hard you try to be one.
LOL sorry your attempts at gaslighting were unsuccessful, I guess? Better luck next time.
men are being victimized.
'he raped me! '
those words to a cop can essentially suspend a man's life for an indeterminate amount of time. does it happen where men rape women? yeah, and it's fucked.. do some women use it as a weapon to get back at someone/ruin someone's life? you bet your ass they do..
why can't it be fair? why should a guy be forced to potentially endure that scenario when they hailed a cab....when the system is in place to protect 1 gender by giving choice. it's not limiting her use of it or making it worse for her, it's making it better for ALL that use the service.
stop thinking because one issue if objectively worse then the other, that the other should be dismissed. that's horrible logic, heck it's not even logic. it's just stupid.
Do you have any evidence at all that this happens even semi-regularly?
Because it doesn't happen anywhere near as regularly as you're trying to make it sound.
once is more then enough.. it doesn't need to happen regularly.
what's your magic number threshold where an issue starts to matter...? clearly that's what you're getting at so I wanna know this magic number
equality is and should be everyone's goals. if not, then might as well call free for all and never have special rules for anyone based on anything. society is about inclusion and equality, yet you only seem to want equality is specific scenarios. makes no sense... why half implement a rule when fully implementing it won't have any effect on the first half? why not accessable to all...you're just arguing for the sake of it.
Oi vey the drama
No one is saying that false allegations of sexual assault don’t matter.
exactly. why argue about equality for all on scenarios that are differing in terms of frequency, but still happen regardless of how often. women get assaulted and should be protected by allowing for choice, and men get falsely accused and should be protected by allowing for choice.
me = equality and choices for all
you = but women experience it worse, and it doesn't happen as frequent for men so men shouldn't have the same safety nets as women. (not equality)
This male victimhood complex is so fucking cringe man.
try not being sexist and desire equality.. won't make you look so pathetic
nobody is painting men as the victims anymore then they are painting women as victims.
women get raped more often, I wouldn't deny that.
men get accused of raping when nothing happened and get dragged through hell more often then women do.
what's wrong with equality? seriously... what's wrong with it? no one asked for women to not have the service/choice, only to extend it for everyone. lol you're mentally stuck on one issue and just refuse to see it as a whole picture. it's kinda sad really.
At least part of it is because of people like you who get upset whenever someone challenges the grossly inequitous status quo.
You're the one advocating for inequality.
Things aren't equal now. You don't want that to change.
that's literally why I bought up the topic of equality... and you're resisting it because... actually there is no reason to resist equality.
What you brought up is an appeal to maintain the current iniquitous status quo, by suggesting that the real problem with men being the aggressors in the vast majority of sexual assaults isn't the sexual assaults, but that some men might be falsely accused. But hey, if women want to protect themselves from that, we should legalise excluding them and reducing their service options in other areas, because you know, that's what equality looks like...
The thing is, you don't give a shit about the real world manifestation of inequality. What you want is a platonic ideal of equality, which doesn't exist in the real world, and using it as the measure, just ensures that real world inequality stays around and never gets challenged, because people like you can point to the rules and say "We already have equality" .
don't tell me what I want. you lost all credibility by doing that. I have stopped caring about your words as a result.
equality, new rule (clearly not pushing status quo...) shuld be usable by everyone, not a select few.
stop pushing for inequality then gas lighting and assuming you know what someone desires
You did that part when you said that trying to change the status quo is inequality...
That's very rich coming from a powertripping admin.
You instance banned me without giving any justification. Shove your sense of real world inequality right next to the stick you've got up your a-hole.
You're no different than a neckbeard reddit mod.
The reason will be in the modlog
But generally, it's spam, transphobia and other bigotry that gets you banned.
And I asked you to point out exactly which post or comment of mine warranted the ban. You didn't bother replying.
Powertripping as usual.
You have a 7 hour old account. You'll have to excuse me if I have no idea who you are
I know who you are though. Almighty arbiter of morality and bigotry.
And I'm pissed because you banned me from whole instance for something I had said on a completely different instance. I guess your fucking feelings got hurt and you decided to be a c..t.
Bigotry and spam doesn't become ok based on where you say it
It wasn't bigotry but you decided it was. How the fuck you're not getting it? How thick is your skull?
Yeah, I'm sure I was imagining it. You don't seem like someone to throw around insults and misogyny
And misogyny? I thought that was a favourite word of you people down under.
Yeah I'm a toxic asshole, especially when I'm slighted against.
But you don't even have that much self-awareness. Whatever you deem wrong must be so, right?
"Equality" is not a totalitarian concept. Different people can be equal in some areas and unequal in others. Not sure why this is so hard to grasp.
So what you're saying is that women being sexually harassed is just how it is in a society with equality?
Because if that's not what you're saying, I'm curious why you think a movement to reduce the disparity is a problem? Well, I'm not curious, I know the answer...
Are you an “All Lives Matter” clown? It sure reads that way.
are you trying to say being accused of sexual assault is the same as being sexually assaulted lmao
No. I did not, and am not roflcopter
