That is some next level rape apologist shit.
Care to elaborate?
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.
I didn't take your message wrong, you just didn't realize that you were being a rape apologist. That is okay.
Go back and read the sign again. It is not saying anything you are fucking imagining.
In the future don't make men out to be the victims, that is literally the point of her sign. Women face the consequences and men don't.
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.

Glad we can agree even if you missed the point.
