How the fuck are so many random internet people buying blue checkmarks? Depressing as fuck that this blatant money grab/propaganda tool from a right wing asshole worked so well with no negative consequences.
The bear, obviously.
the one in the woods, of course

It’s been my experience that women protect me from men.
Was the Reddit version of this community like this with people coming in to ‘both sides’ the conversation? I don’t think it was like this. Lemmy has a real problem with people just not caring about what the community is before they come in to drop their hot their hot takes. I’ve even seen people go into !reddit@lemmy.world to complain about people posting about Reddit. I mean, come on.
As for that 18% of violent crimes being committed by women stat, that still means 82% of the perpetrators were men, so that’s hardly the pwn it was made out to be. It’s grasping at straws to keep ignoring that there’s any problem.
I’ll also just leave this here:
I think that the motivation behind it is very simple: no one gives a shit about what I go through, why should I give a shit what you go through?
I’m not saying it’s right, but there is a twisted logic to it and there are certain societal factors at play that do make it seem true (like young boys being much more likely to be suspended or expelled from school).
Again, I’m not saying we should stop fighting for women’s rights — rights for one are rights for all. I’m just saying, understanding instead of trivializing will be what leads all of us out of this mess.
We all understand “fuck racism,” “punch nazis,” and “fuck fascism” but for some reason when it comes to sexism and incel culture it becomes “let’s coddle them.”
No, clearly all of us do not understand what those things mean. If that were true, the U.S. wouldn’t have shifted further and further towards fascism over the past 60 years.
I meant the overwhelming majority of us on Lemmy but I should have been more precise saying that.
The only time you meet plants rights advocates is every time someone mentions animal ethics.
Man here. It took me a lot of therapy and help to understand that my (or someone’s) suffering doesn’t mean less just because there are a lot of others who are suffering more.
I used to say crap like this too, if someone said ‘X group of people have this problem’. I’d be like ‘but Y has the same problem but to higher extent’. I didn’t say it out of malice, at least I don’t think so. lt was natural to think ‘how can you be complaning about X when Y has the same problem but more’. Maybe I just believed that first you address the problem with bigger statistical number, then we do the smaller one after that and so on, but I dont know. I know now, that is a shitty way to think about things.
I guess it has something to do with how I was raised, ‘your problems aren’t that great, there are people with bigger problems and in comparison your life is a luxury. So chin up and carry on’. And I lived by it and parroted the same rhetoric for a long time. I believe most people (men?) do the same not out of malice but because of this shitty view of life and the world, because how they were raised, because how people told them how their problem can be ignored because someone else has a bigger problem. and they don’t know any better. At least I didn’t for a long time.
In other words: don’t change the status quo, it’s all good. I think most of us were raised like that, and it’s a load of bs; in reality that’s how things slowly get worse for all, or we can continuously make many small bets striving for good so things get better.
It’s just All Lives Matter again isn’t it? They don’t care, they just want you to stop talking about it.
I think it’s partially due to the relatively small population and quantity of posts. Anecdotally, I never browsed r/all, but that’s my primary mode on Lemmy. I usually don’t notice the community a post belongs to unless someone brings it up.
Maybe that will change with time.
So just to clarify, when you start talking about a subject, you don’t want us to chip in with anything relevant. OK, got it.
And I think it’s rather sexist of you to assume we’re always thinking about football. If we assumed you were always thinking of housework we’d be it some right hot water.
Men. ☕
I can’t speak for individual women or women on the whole. Therefore, I could be totally wrong here. My guess is the point is violence against men is not always relevant when talking about violence against women. Sometimes the topic is just violence against women, and yet violence against men still is brought up.
I’m getting a similar kind of aneurysm reading the “bUt NoT aLL mEn” comments here as I get when I browse conservative subreddits
lemmy has an incel problem. just like any other social problem, if we find out where a few of them lived and made examples out of them, they would learn to shut up.
What a clown show. All of them ready to pull crazy stats and make themselves out to be victims, exactly how racists make up and distort statistics.
All of them start their posts with “but I just dunno… it’s not really fair to generalize men… I mean, women are actually more violent than men… I just… idk… 👉👈🥹 … ackyshually men are the victims… 🥺…”
So fucking pathetic.
Remember the bear clusterfuck? Lemmy is pretty bad in this regard.
If you draw your community from Redditors you’re going to inherit Reddit problems, aka poorly socialized nerds.
Anyone corrected her grammar to whom* yet?
I wonder why they come here, lemmy is essentially anti-cuckservative.
incels are not exclusively conservative. many things are not as simply black and white as you might think.
Bears lol
That 1 gorilla
Save the Gorillas by Turning Them Into Bodyguards For Women
Say his name. Harambe. flop
Female bears with no cubs to protect, practically docile.
Are you willing to test that theory ?? Of course not
Anything for science
Go ahead
Okay first we need to get rid of all males, not sure I’m gonna survive this part of the experiment.
You’re talking to an incel btw.
*whom
Other women duh…
Spiders
Came to say spiders.
Unless women learn to bring them outside and release them on the lawn… Then Im fucked.
I’m already there. I’ll let you take care of the house centipedes forever though.
State’s rights energy.
naivety is an option
this feels like the bear situation but on a smaller scale lol
Well yes, because there would be no human race at all.
Women don’t need men to reproduce.
If you believe the virgin Mary…
Women could clone each other. Also ‘no men’ probably doesn’t exclude all people capable of providing sperm. So I think if they were to mysteriously disappear we’d be ok.
A gorilla
