I've tried to see the opinions of /r/feminism and /r/twoxchromosomes on this image and it has been removed from both. What are you guys opinions on this? Makes sense, right?

The traffic analogy is inaccurate because cars do not hit children on purpose. The "tell strangers not to danger us" analogy is better.

"Tell STRANGERS not to DANGER us"

Gets me everytime.

I don't even bother with /r/Feminism anymore, honestly. Banned after posting in a thread sharing my experience of MRAs being lambasted for trying to raise awareness that male rape victims shouldn't be ignored, no warning, no explanation, no response for the 7 days I tried asking mods directly.

No sub with mods that closed off is worth my time.

I think it is brilliant.

Great work. If you wanted to address some of the objections maybe change "tell cars to stop hitting us" to "tell drunk drivers to not hit us", but I think it's just fine as it is.

ETA: can i use it?

Doesn't make much sense to me...seems kinda patronizing actually. Remember, we're trying to present ourselves well here.

I don't really think its that relevant to any MRA or feminist movement, CMV if you must.

Try /r/askfeminists. They're sometimes a bit nicer.

This implies men accidentally rape. lol?

The analogy is ironically making a feminist rape culture argument for them.

The rapist has the right of way and is in the right, and rape victims are the ones in the wrong, according to the analogy. Their rape culture theory predicts people have unconscious biases that make that exact logical error.

And we do not in reality teach children not to get deliberately run over by drivers while we do teach drivers to drive responsibly.

Because women = children
