I'm sorry you were treated like that by both the man and the woman!

If any men want to experience a taste of this, make an online dating profile, fill it with some generic stuff, and make your profile pic a young woman. Then, as the messages come flooding in, politely decline and wish them luck. When I did this once several years ago, I was constantly badgered and this quickly turned…

Part of being a woman is being shamed for saying yes, and attacked for saying no. And guilty of something either way.

"Mental illness" is an excuse used when privileged White males commit crimes against less privileged people.

Probably any who won't already admit this is a huge issue aren't going to be convinced by shit ladies say. But this is great for the non-delusional men who already have observed that this is a problem, but perhaps don't realize the extent.

I just keep thinking: will they believe us now? Is this finally the moment when men start to grasp the reality that women live in?

When can we expect the post from the "nice guy," who — of course — doesn't think women deserve to be assaulted, but they really need to learn to give "nice guys" a chance instead of spreading their legs for jerks. Because if they opened up for "nice guys," then "nice guys" would be less frustrated, and women would be…

At the end of my senior year in high school, I broke off a long-distance relationship only to receive a terrifying letter filled with declarations of love and threats of violence. I thought I had dodged a bullet when nothing happened by the time I went off to college, only to learn that he raped a girl shortly after I…

social norms influence how mental illness expresses itself. the fact men with mental illness in the united states often lash out in misogynistic ways reflects the deeper problems of our culture.

They aren't mutually exclusive, but one doesn't excuse the other.

I'm not sure if would agree with that... At the very least, the combination of being both mentally ill AND misogynistic is something to be wary of as a society if it may put other people in danger.

Also live in a country with low to no gun ownership. It does not help. Many women get stabbed instead. Or beaten to a pulp. Or raped. Sure you may not have mass shootings, but with the huge amount of bicycles in this particular country, all it takes is a rental moving truck and a sick person could mow down 30 in…

Hey Isha Aran can you ban this person? He's a racist troll that's harassing PoC and threating to dox them.

As a child I lost a beloved cousin of mine under similar circumstances; she rejected a man and was shot to death. Thus began a life of activism for me; but it just never stops. When will it stop?

I'm sure this black dude is going to get the same "mental illness" excuse like the other guy right? Right?

So bad aim will prevent this man from living behind bars. What a world.

The answer to all your questions is NO.

I'd like to rewrite Lysistrata where the women refuse sex to the men, the men righteously slaughter all of them in bloody well-deserved vengeance, and then bro-five each other and go out for brewskis.
The problem is, most people wouldn't get it was satire.

Remember everyone who was talking about how it's irrelevant to talk about the role male entitlement played in the Elliot Rodgers shooting? And how that tragedy was about mental illness and nothing else? This story shows it's not such an irrelevant discussion to have after all.
