Looking forward to a bunch of men from All coming in here and talking about how offensive this post is

This is not offensive so much as being completely unreasonable to make a point of how unfair the world is perceived to be. And that's just boring and annoying because it is overused and can be dismissive.

I also don't support executing those narrow e scooter ๐Ÿ›ด thingamajig drivers even though they are a danger to themselves and bikes. Even though it would solve problems.

I don't think anyone thinks men should actually have a curfew. We think that men should stop assaulting women on the street.

Just to be overly clear: I didn't think that! I just am bored of overly extreme phrasing that inflict substantial harm on others.

Mm, I hear you. There's catharsis in it, I think. And its not really great to tone police a marginalised group (not saying that's what you're doing)

[โ€“] Honytawk@feddit.nl 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Well, that is not clear in the post.

[โ€“] Gladaed@feddit.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty clear to me.

[โ€“] apotheotic@beehaw.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think "place a curfew on 50% of humanity" is a pretty clear "this is not a real thing"

I do, but only because it would be funny.

I get where it is coming from, but it is quite sexist.

Would be better if it wasn't needed, but with this you are punishing everyone because of the actions of a few.

As a man who got here from All, Iโ€™m not offended at all, more ashamed of my fellow men.

I have a wife and daughter, so Iโ€™m perfectly fine with this.

All the best to you and your family :)
