Sadly true

And the pickme corollary: "Believe sexual assault survivors except the ones assaulted by any man I don't personally already hate."

Literally knew a group of men who KNEW a friend in the group was a rapist and they would all defend him (even though one of their wives was a rape survivor as well) and any guy who spoke out against this? Wasn’t invited to group gatherings and made fun of. Even when asked if they confronted said rapist friend they’d all avoid it.

Men don’t care about rape just as long as it’s far away from their sexual pleasure (ie the women they are having sex with wives girlfriends doesn’t matter)

Edit: these men are 35-40 years of age I’m not talking about college boys.

Sorry for posting this and bringing up any painful memories for anyone, not my intention!

Humour is how I’m coping after several years and just recently seeing this man advocate for supporting / believing women when he hurt me and gaslit me into thinking I deserved to be assaulted. I hate performative activism and I’m trying to stay calm after seeing so much of it

Same as the men who go around calling themselves ‘feminists’. They always end up being emotionally manipulative assholes with no regard for women.

Also "except the ones I assaulted because I'm a nIcE gUy and if I assaulted someone that means I'm a bad guy but I'm nice!"

Believe all sexual assault survivors!

(Except the ones who were drunk, sent mixed signals, were partying, wore revealing clothes or are known hoes)

Just cultural misogyny 🤷🏻‍♀️

Men: “I respect all women, except for my exes who are all crazy”

I have an acquaintance who sees himself as a feminist - He and I had a falling out due to his best friend that assaulted me when I was a young teenager.

The story that my abuser told/ tells is that I was desperate and all over him - and he did what any man would do and used me and blocked me because I was 'crazy'.

When I confronted my acquaintance about the fact that I was not ashamed about who I had sex with, even the messy situations. That his best friend, my abuser, was a lying bastard that knew he was lying because why else tell people not to tell me?

Well.. of course my acquaintance said he wasn't going to call his friend out on the bullshit because and I quote "he had always been a good guy to me"

It was when I realized that even men that claim to be on your side will quietly look the other way if it effects them too much.

I felt physically ill when Rapey Brett got on the supreme court.

Also except for the ones his friends assaulted because they would never do that, and the ones famous men assaulted because the women just want attention.

Also, sadly, often the ones in his own circle who tell him about it because they might just be lying for attention and it would mean he'd have to admit he didn't look out for his female friends and/or didn't help (enabled it) and also not all men (I know I sound salty but that's my experience)

My rapist went to the women's march a while back, the one where everyone was wearing those stupid p*ssy hats. Fake woke men are dangerous.

They stand with the rape victim, providing the perpetrator was a man of color. If it's one of their white male friends, it's all "hE wOuLD neVer!"

paperwasp3 · 2021-06-14T02:08:21+00:00

Every time.

This is especially true for politicians!!! I'm talking to you Andrew Cuomo...
