There is such a thing.
There is such a thing.
Probably pissed off some of the writers.
I am glad we’re seeing eye to eye.
But again, there are many men that *do* oppose rape culture and misogyny. And I certainly didn’t assume she was wrong because she was a woman - I assumed she was wrong because she was painting a very large group of people with a very broad brush.
Men should be allies in the fight for women’s rights - but that still doesn’t make all men guilty for the position women are in today.
You might see her comment that way, but it reeks of dogwhistle tactics to me. Again, I have no issues with her being cautious around men - it is after all, her life and her safety. But when she implies that she would have problems loving a man knowing what men do, that shifts the blame to all men, and THAT is what I…
I never said that there was no link - just that it’s a (more) distant one. What you’re thinking of is what I would describe as effemiphobia, which is what feminine men (regardless of sexual orientation) experience. Effemiphobia is directly linked to misogyny. However, the lines between the two sometimes become blurry,…
You’re a fucking genius for that comment :D
I do not care whether anyone (woman or otherwise) likes me. I do however dislike broad, sweeping generalizations about the content of my character based on a characteristic over which I have no control.
Yes, statistically speaking, men are more violent than women. But that still does not mean that all men are violent and that all men are responsible for violence committed against women. What bothers me are the sweeping generalizations and the wrongful implication of guilt.
I am not denying the existance of privilege, and I have a lot of privileges. I have male privilege, white privilege, cis privilege, I have access to education, food, water and a roof over my head. Just being able to type this comment is a privilege that many do not have. But the way I see it, privilege alone does not…
Oh, Prince Charming <3
If you say that you can never love a man because of what other men have done, then the all is very much implied.
You’re free to be as cautious around men as you want. I shouldn’t even have to type that. But answer me this. If you (hypothetically) look into your (hypothetical) partner’s (hypothetical) eyes, will you see the kind, loving person who makes you happy or will you see the atrocities committed by people who (sort of)…
It’s one thing to be cautious of men (or any other group of people). It’s a completely different thing to assume that they are all responsible for whatever actions some (or even most) members of said group are guilty of. If she says that she cannot love a man because of the actions of other men, it means that she’s…
And how dare I contradict her opinion? Oh, so selfish of me.
If you (hypothetically) look into the eyes of your (hypothetical male) loved one and see the violence that other people who (sort of) look like him have committed, then he (hypothetically) deserves someone better. And fuck you too.
And I cannot believe that a story about an injustice to Third World women is an opportunity for a Western woman to display her mistrust of men.
If I were Roninette, I would say that straight people DO assault and kill people like me. When I came out to my parents, I was called a plethora of vile things. My parents, the people that should always love and protect me, did not have even a sliver of compassion or understanding. They told me that if I tell anyone…
So what did you say, other can call me a liar?
