Why is violence against men normalized yet violence against women is demonized?

FourFsOfLife · 2023-05-28T18:25:04+00:00

Not even normalized, glamorized.

Hurting men, especially with genitalia kicks, is an essential part of the formula now. Including in kids movies. And presented as either funny or you-go-girl.

Because women have taught men since a very early age that women were of more value and unique and worth of protection and praise. At the same time they tought our youngselves that we were replaceable and of less value. This applies especially for single mothers who have been ran through and raise their (male) kids to be simps and damn near worship women. They know very well what would happen if men in masse realized how dirty they are being done and deeply fear the day that men see women as normal beings and nothing special, because then there would not be a power imbalance that heavily benefits them.

Men are seen as disposable. A single man can repopulate the planet but you need many women.

In-group bias: Attack on one is attack against all. Doesn't matter good or bad.

All violence is abhorrent. I'm a woman. I'm sorry that these messages are so abundant in our society. As a woman married to a lovely man (who has also been in a very abusive relationship), I've seen the entire range of what men can be capable of and I genuinely love men. Seeing a therapist to unpack a lot of my previous negativity helped. Men, like women, are as individual as the stars in the sky and equally worthy of love and respect.

What Abou Amber Heard? Sha has a lot of fans, doesn't she?

asdf333aza · 2023-05-29T02:41:44+00:00

same reason this sub exist.

Men back then used to get certain privileges for being a man, but nowadays that is kind of gone, and we are still expected to sacrifice ourselves for people who don't a fuck about us? Why? Men who ask those kind of questions end up here and labeled as woman haters and incels. they did not sleep with or associate with and children they did not produce? Most men died. But those few who lived were called cowards because there was still space left to save more women and children and they took those spaces for themselves.

That lack of concern and care for the males of the species is why violence against men is normalized. Women and children can hit you all day, but god forbid you hit one back in the form of self-defense. You'd likely end up in jail.

Men who ask those kinds of questions end up here and labeled as woman haters and incels. You not willing to die for a woman you don't know and who contributes nothing to your life? You must hate women.... But meanwhile they wouldn't die for you, let alone lend you a single dollar. But they don't hate men?

Gender equality is an illusion

NAWALT_VADER · 2023-05-28T21:50:08+00:00

Because feminism.

g1455ofwater · 2023-05-28T22:11:50+00:00

We live in an era of inequality. Most humans believe men are a lower status being than women and don't deserve the same rights or empathy. That may not feel right, that may not be what we want to hear, that may be something we will try to deny in any way possible but unfortunately it's the reality. I don't see any reason to deny this anymore.

vwatchrepair · 2023-05-29T00:42:47+00:00

It's also normalized through omission.

Merebankguy · 2023-05-29T05:03:47+00:00

You blame the MSM for this, in so many movies/ tv series the man says or does something that the woman doesn't like, she immediately slaps or knees him in nuts. So unfortunately this has translated into real life because alot of women have this mentality that they can assault a man just because he upset them

New_Builder8597 · 2023-05-29T01:50:23+00:00

I think action movies and some sports (boxing, football etc) re-inforces the stereotype that men are so tough, that "you're not a real man if you can't take a slap from a woman" (stereotype, I said. I'm a pacifist and don't believe that statement) PLUS the age-old recommendation from fathers to sons "you're not a real man if you hit a woman" (this is, I believe, at least partially due to the biological fact that most men are stronger than most women - of course there are outliers - and are more likely to win a physical fight than a woman - but it does not allow for self-defense for men from women who throw the first punch [or frypan]). Of course, media is not the only culprit. Generational culture plays a part as does peer pressure.

It's why I would never intervene for them if I don't know them

forriddit · 2023-05-29T02:31:59+00:00

Because of there power to create children

kebastian · 2023-05-29T11:10:43+00:00

First off, assault is assault. Anybody who hurts anyone regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation should be imprisoned.

The thing is, men are physiologically stronger than women. An average man punching an average woman would more likely result in serious injuries compared with an average woman punching an average man. This is the reason why culturally, a woman punching a man is seen as "less serious" than a man punching a woman.

Either way, people shouldn't hit people.

The feminist lie it was never about equality By Bob Lewis 🤷‍♂️

idreamofdeathsquads · 2023-05-28T22:48:42+00:00

Because deep down everyone knows that men can take it. We can handle what they can't. It's always been that way.

Women are worker bees. They are solipsistic. The systems which held them in check were broken down with feminism. But it was an outside group which planned this. Look up the early life of Betty Fredian.

Educational_Bet_6606 · 2023-05-29T09:01:49+00:00

Idk why. I see it even in small children.

I always speak about it, but few care even Christians.

Batman: "The hammer of justice is unisex."

Shaft: "I'm an equal opportunity ass-whooper."

Kazuma: "I yearn fir true gender equality."

I'm assuming you're a man posting this, since you're in a Men's rights subreddit.

As a man you've never been shamed by other men for not wanting to fight? You've never been mocked or joked about because you think fighting is dumb, or because you think fighting to defend your "honor" or your partners "honor" is stupid as well? If you sau you havent , you're lying, or you're a sheltered rich child.

I used to work three 12 hour shifts in a factory. I'd be on a certain line all day with the same 4 people. Two of those people were men, like me, and when they found out I was against fighting 99% of the time they spent the next week giving me scenarios and trying to get me to admit I'd fight someone in these scenarios. It was unheard of for them, and other men who would come to the line for something and overhear them questioning, that I thought the majority of the time you can just walk away or try to de-escalate a situation.

My guy; we LOVE violence towards ourselves and shame other men for not wanting to go to war or fight the stranger at the bar. Fuck gender equality where is our sense of brotherly love toward each other?

Men are the disposable ones in this society.

No_Entertainment_990 · 2023-05-31T02:15:52+00:00

How in the world is this a valid argument. 23 women have been killed at the hands of their MALE partners so far this year in Australia.
