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.
