I didn’t mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. “Everything’s lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time”) type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I’ve heard from women irl a lot.

    because nobody at any point in history has ever fucking said “all men are [insert negative thing men are statistically more likely to do than anyone else here]” that was never my conclusion, that was never the implication of the original post, and you know it.

    MRA astroturfers make such misrepresentations of our points not because they believe them but because they know other(usually impressionable and young) men will feel attacked if our arguments are construed as an attack on them personally even though they clearly aren’t. i’ve become hostile with you because it’s become clear that’s what you’re doing. you’re a propagandist for the far right whether you realize it or not and you should fuck right off.

      No misreprensentation here. Those are all valid criticisms.

      Also, the image literally says “too bad men are murderers tho”. That’s about as broad stroked as it gets.

      This is hilarious. If you think you have it right, by all means keep at it. But when you finally realize what i’m saying, I have feeling you’re going to feel pretty embarrassed by how long it took you to get there.

        “This is hilarious. If you think you have it right, by all means keep at it. But when you finally realize what i’m saying, I have feeling you’re going to feel pretty embarrassed by how long it took you to get there.” likewise, assuming you actually believe what it is you’re saying and you aren’t just some dork from 4chan trying to recruit fellow incels.

        men are murderers of women whether you like it or not. that doesn’t and has never meant all men, but enough of them do it that all women have the be afraid and as such the sentiment rings true. she’s not going to be afraid of women murdering her because not only is it a statistical improbability by a considerable margin, where on a personal level she’s unlikely to have ever heard of or witnessed extreme violence from other women, but most women would have a story to tell you about men.

        she has reason to be afraid of men. she has reason to generalize because even if it isn’t the majority, the number is great enough that any strange man could be a potential predator to her. and none of that fear is unfounded. men are socialized under patriarchy that encourages violent rage and discourages healthy expression of emotion. it causes the statistics. it causes the fear women rightfully and regrettably must have.

        men are specified and the distinction is made not because she thinks all men are murderers, but because if someone were to harm her (and the chances of that are already way too high), it’s almost certainly going to be a man, not a woman. but, i refuse to believe you’re thick enough not to understand this. quit bullshitting.

            you’re an MRA propagandist and a misogynist. go to hell.

              LMAO, two things:

              1. screaming the same argument doesn’t make your conclusion more accurate b/c in this case, it’s the conclusion drawn based on the evidence that is flawed. So that link doesn’t negate the criticism no matter how often you blindly post it. Gender comparisons do not make for a population inference about either gender.
              2. thanks for proving i had a point. If you didn’t think I had a point, then you wouldn’t be acting like a 12 year old. Or, you’re straight up a 12 year old. Bigots and 12 year olds have difficulty grasping logic.

              Enjoy your “life”. You really ought to touch grass and start thinking more critically. In the end, I know that your bigotry is yours alone. I don’t attribute it to other women b/c I have experience that most are normal ppl with a rather good head on their shoulders, just like men.

              But like i said, if you wanna live a life of anger based on flawed thinking, go for it. The world is moving on without you, and you know you’re only pissed off b/c it’s true.

                never said i was a woman you dipshit, and i’ve already explained this to you. the argument is not flawed because the argument was never at any point “all men are doing this” like you keep suggesting for some dumbass reason. the evidence is not flawed either and you’ve yet to give a valid reason why you think it is. you aren’t arguing in good faith, but i’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s probably because you’re an incel propagandist and your intention is to steer others into your hateful ideology, because the alternative is that you’re the most dense motherfucker on the planet.
