Did you know that alienating men and making them feel like bad people for things they themselves didn’t do doesn’t do anything to help anyone?

I had a good friend who turned out to have murdered his girlfriend. He did not confide that in us. We weren’t just hanging out with some guy who murdered just girlfriend because we were ok with that. All of us changed our view and opinion of this person and not a one has remained their acquaintance after it came out.

I bet I know someone who has raped someone. I wouldn’t willingly associate with them if I knew, and they’re likely not going to out themselves. I know that none of the people I know would continue to associate with someone like that if we knew.

People hide shit, people do awful things, othering and hating only makes out groups and creates greater rifts.

This picture makes a pretty good point BUT when lodged as a bomb at half the population it’s like punching a lifeguard in the mouth.

You immediately open with not every man is a rapist. Well duh, but this is exactly what rape apologists do. They twist people's words to make males out to be the fucking victims.

You do know lots of men who have sexually assaulted women. The rate is about 30% of men engaging in sexually aggressive behavior. Let that sink in.

This is why she is pissed and created this sign. Rather than support her with reality you want to play apologist and create some fantasy world where men are being unfairly picked on. That makes you a fucking asshole in my book.

Then you have the audacity to frame it as hate. Did her fucking sign say kill all males because they are rapists!? No it fucking didn't, so get the fuck out of here with the hate bullshit.

And finally, trying to raise awareness that a shit ton of males are rapist losers suddenly becomes an assault on all males. If I didn't know better I would say you are exhibiting some serious levels of projection with all this.

I am a male, and I am not offended at all. In fact she is absolutely fucking right to make that sign to point out the reality that males get away with rape all the fucking time.

I have yet to meet a women who has not been sexually assaulted in their lifetime. My mother, my wife, and my daughters have all been sexually assaulted. Stop being a rape apologist.

I’m sorry you took my message as “men are the victim” but that wasn’t my intent, I was saying this statement may be poignant and striking but it does serve to other and make an enemy of that other.

I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole with you because I don’t believe men are being unfairly picked on nor do I condone or support or act as an apologist for rape in spite of your belief.

I know you're misunderstanding what I said if you believe I make any statement about the person in the picture.

I appreciate you elaborating but you make a lot of assertions about my beliefs and mindset that honestly idk if I have the energy on a lazy sunday to want to argue.

To play devil's advocate, your own post states that 70% of men are not rapists, so... "Not all men" seems to be agreed upon, even by you.

If we can get past that, I think everyone here can have a reasonable conversation.

Nobody outside of Trump's circle of friends, or the Catholic Church, supports rapists. We fucking hate them and stand by survivours as if they were our own sibling or child or parent.
