    I don’t disagree that both men and women do heinous things, but women don’t almost never physically attack or kill a man when he shuns her advances, but men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man’s advances, and sometimes women get straight up murdered for it.

    #NotAllMen, but enough men that many women choose the bear.

      This isn’t the 1950s, Scooter. Women aren’t viewed as fragile incapable little things anymore because they never really were.

      men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man’s advances

      This is a completely weightless statement, considering that it’s true if as few as 365 men a year do this, out of ~4,000,000,000. In other words, 0.000009125%.

      Pretty low bar for shitting on half the world, no?

        I’m not shitting on half the population, I’m highlighting the reality of men reacting violently at women to being rejected or ignored. It’s every day. It’s constant. Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

          It’s every day.

          Already established to be a pretty much meaningless statement. It’s also a fact that mothers abuse children every day, on average, too.

          Do you think it’s fair to say mothers “constantly” abuse children, based on the above technically-correct fact?

          I’ll bet you don’t. But you’re happy to do it about a demo you’re biased against.

          It’s constant.

          That’s bullshit. You’re just bad at statistics, and/or letting things like social media warp your perception of reality.

          A tiny minority of men react violently to rejection.

          Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

          I was raped by a woman, but you won’t find me making dumbass statements implying all women are rapists because of it, because I’m capable of logical, rational thought.


          How’s this for “reality” when it comes to gendered violence: research out of Harvard showed that, among male/female relationships where one of the two ‘members’ is domestically violent and the other isn’t, the violent one is the woman over 70% of the time.
