So many feminists think that feminism is the *only* way towards gender equality. If that is so, considering that male is a gender, issues which affect men - and domestic and sexual abuse is an issue which affects men, should be talked about too.

Is feminism not about gender equality? Is male not a gender?

The vast majority of domestic violence services are aimed at women only, and you know it. The problem is not that women are protesting something that affects them - the problem is that when these protests don’t contain the disclaimer that men can be victims and women can be abusers, they’re perpetuating the idea that

No one says it has to be 50/50. Personally, I’d be satisfied with even 20/80. The problem is that right now, outside of media specifically focused on men’s issues, it is basically 0/100. Rarely is it ever talked about and there are few places for men to go when they’re struggling with domestic or sexual violence.

Seriously, how dense would someone have to be to miss all of that irony...

His whole fucking point is that when a man *does* bring up the fact that domestic and sexual abuse is not a women’s issue only, people like you either choose to ignore it or accuse him of dismissing the struggle of women.

That’s not what the statistic describes. What it means is that the average wage of all hispanic women is 44% of the average wage for men (not sure if it’s compared to hispanic men, all men or white men only). The statistic doesn’t compare wages for the same job.

Hahahaha, I love how you used Ramsay Bolton as a verb :D

Trans women are the only women of the LGBT community that have it more difficult than their distaff counterparts, and ironically, it’s because they’re not seen as “real women”. While gay/bisexual women face a lot of issues because of their gender, their sexuality does not put them at a disadvantage the same way it

Trans women are the only women of the LGBT community that are more oppressed than their distaff counterpart. Gay/bisexual women have it much easier than gay/bisexual men. If you don’t think that’s true, you’re an idiot, plain and simple.

Friends don’t let friends drink wine on toilets.

The former.

SHEEPLE*

Bootstraps and all that!

Why let her off the hook?

That “Happy hunting, bros.” basically invalidates everything you wrote before it. Viewing women as actual human beings with minds and desires of their own and NOT as objects and sexual conquests is the whole fucking point!

It has a lot to do with how traditional (toxic) masculinity is intertwined with sexual prowess. To be male and to have a lot of sexual partners (women only of course) is seen as proof of one’s manhood, and therefore one’s worth. To be male and a virgin is to be worthless.

They all play roles in tragedies like this as well, but it’s a lot easier to keep guns away from nutjobs than it is to cure nutjobs.

Because all men are straight.

That blue stuff is just what they’re using to make a cast of her face, and they’ll use that to make sure that the actual mask fits. The mask itself might be blue, but it probably won’t be.
