Complaining about not being treated equally whilst being treated equally- woman’s tweet to the AA. But the AA CEO’s response is even more concerning.

If I've learned one thing from the comments to those tweets is that the UK is infested with TERFs, and of course TERFs and Misandry go hand in hand.

Man_of_culture_112 · 2022-01-22T15:53:01+00:00

Why are British men so.............. chivalrous (I have more insulting words to use). They don't seem to have much of a sense of self preservation, it's fascinating.

As an introvert with anxiety issues, I am beyond offended by this bitch's insinuation that being alone, in the dark, far from home, is in any way "safer" for a man than it is for a woman in the same situation.

The feminist hypocrisy of wanting equality and special treatment at the same time is frustrating enough as it is, but this idea that men should just not feel fear or anxiety has me just fuming.

GavRhino · 2022-01-22T15:58:46+00:00

Women, for the most part, can always position themselves as the lesser sex and so demand compensation on the grounds of equality. Perception rules over reality.

Imagine an old scale where one person always puts pressure on their side in order for you to keep putting coins on their end.

This is the situation.

And of course 'equality' is never acknowledged because then money would stop being put into the system.

“Men's greatest weakness is their facade of strength, and women's greatest strength is their facade of weakness.

Complete-Temporary-6 · 2022-01-22T17:15:40+00:00

Find it extremely ironic that a woman is trying to tell men how much anxiety they feel waiting around in the dark far away from home.

Mr-X1 · 2022-01-22T14:40:42+00:00

"I am pretty sure that is not equality."

Lmao. Sexist, idiotic pos.

GavRhino · 2022-01-22T14:37:52+00:00

This is ridiculous. This woman receives equal treatment that a man would in that situation, but then says that it’s ‘not equality’- seems like she’s seeking preferential treatment?

But the AA’s CEO’s response is more concerning ‘of course we prioritise women, we just can’t say that’- surely that’s illegal to do?...

SnooBeans6591 · 2022-01-22T16:52:29+00:00

When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

I'm genuinely a bit worried about a lot of women's high levels of fear of situations when they aren't actually in much danger. There's been a thing in the UK about people drugging women with syringes, bars have got policies, plans etc about it, even though there's never actually been a single recorded incident. I don't know if its a side effect of lockdowns (I know they made me very paranoid and mistrustful) that's just societally accepted in women to the point it was never seriously challenged and has now festered into something quite damaging.

It's doubly concerning that they don't seem to recognise actual dangers to themselves either. They'll be vigilant about watching anyone trying to sneak up on them with a syringe but never think for a second that the sleazy, coked up, 30 something musician on an ego trip might in fact have other motives in inviting a bunch of pretty 18 and 19 year olds back to his "studio" than to discuss the merits of post grunge.

That previous story actually happened to my friends a few months ago, every single man recognised him as a charmless sleazeball on sight where the women all saw an interesting artist, right up to the point he started aggressively demanding one of my friends blow him.

Ashamed_Pop1835 · 2022-01-22T15:14:41+00:00

This goes to the heart of this issue, doesn't it?

From a literal standpoint, she is correct. Anxiety and fear of crime is higher among women, yet men in reality are more likely to actually become victims of crime.

The question that needs answering is this: what is a more pressing issue, womens' increased fear of crime or mens' increased risk of crime?

Phenomena such as the missing white woman effect definitely contribute to this increased perceived risk of crime among women.

imperator_T · 2022-01-22T19:11:55+00:00

One response from a feminist on Facebook to a guy stating simply "men can be vulnerable too" was

"Yea, at the hands of other men. You totally missed the point my guy"

Regardless of how people feel and the statistics, some will always bring it back to the sex/gender of the perpetrator, because men are a self-harming hive who are all complicit in their own victimhood.

“If you follow the news”

There’s the source of your anxiety lady, stop following the “news”.

Call it whatever you want but it’s not equality lol

airfox3522 · 2022-01-22T19:26:02+00:00

I don't understand why using the location(time of the day) of the car break down to determine service priority is unacceptable to these people. It's situation like this that contribute to dehumanization of men. Some lone woman in a relative busy grocery parking lot should have immediate attention than some lone man strained out in the middle of no where is the right way to go?! Keep on dehumanize men like this will just get harder push back in the future!

CyclopeWarrior · 2022-01-22T16:13:07+00:00

Demanding for privilege, yup sounds about right for what they think equality means.

3-PuttGC · 2022-01-22T22:51:38+00:00

People really only want equality when it benefits them...if they can get some preferential treatment than any desire for equality vanishes.

DanteLivra · 2022-01-22T14:52:06+00:00

Ah yes, common sense

Poor entitled women who can't stand to not be treated as a priority.

If security is an issue, there's always 1. The phone you used to call the service, that same phone can be used to call the police. 2. Your car, no matter the mecanical issue will always have locking doors.

International_Crew89 · 2022-01-22T21:43:55+00:00

An example of why we as men's rights activists need to emphasize to our audience that every individual, male or female, is responsible for thier own feelings. No liberal (non-authoritarian/theocratic) government in the world should be guaranteeing anyone's rights to "feel" anything, including feeling safe. We have rights that amount to guaranteeing actual safety for citizens, not whether they perceive themesleves to be safe or not.

SuspicousEggSmell · 2022-01-22T18:27:24+00:00

I’m starting to think they only read the F section of dictionary, if this is what they think equality mean

StupidSexyQuestions · 2022-01-23T00:56:16+00:00

I have to say something that’s been bothering me about this line of thinking.

For all the complaining of how targeted these women say they are due to their gender and their perceived vulnerability, how many are actively taking steps to adequately defend themselves?

I’ve known a lot of women in my lifetime. The number that take any sort of self defense courses, work out beyond the basic cardio with the purpose of being able to adequately defend themselves etc. is less than 1%. I’ve known one girl who carrier a taser in college. A few others had a small can of pepper spray. And growing up I did a bunch of martial arts and it was only one or two girls I knew that were involved that weren’t tiny children, and who dropped out once we got to high school.

I’m very empathetic to the idea that they are smaller and physically weaker than a lot of men and that must be terrifying… but correct me if I’m wrong but it leads me to believe they are more interested in being perceived as more vulnerable than actually solving the problem.

She also says she won’t get out of the car as instructed, even tho it’s extremely dangerous to stay in a disabled car next to a busy road. I know a family where the parents got out and left the kids in and they lost them all when the car was hit.

az226 · 2022-01-23T05:44:48+00:00

Where is this type of logic when it comes to issues like equal pay? All you hear is those dumb cents on the dollars stats but never go further down to be like, well wouldn’t part time work drive pay down for women?

You don’t. Because it (in the last couple of decades) was never about equality, it was about privilege and supremacy.

Sewblon · 2022-01-22T19:18:06+00:00

I can't see the CEO's response. How do you go to the second image?

But anyway, this is a really good example of the gender paradox of crime, and how it distorts our discourse. Women are more fearful of crime. But less likely to actually have it happen to them than men are. https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367/205718 So you end up with the people who are safer outside demanding special treatment, on the grounds that they feel more anxious or more afraid. I am not saying that there is a right or wrong way to feel. What I am saying, is that there is not a one to one relationship between how much people fear something, and how big a threat it actually is.

Learn from these misandrist and boycott companies.

Anger... in all my years of trying to hide my feminine desires, in order to regain the respect of both men and women around be, including those in my family; a quick boast of anger fixes it right up. Then they ask why I'm angry all the time. Coz its more acceptable to you people to be a stereotypically angry male than it is to be soft.

Fast-Mongoose-4989 · 2022-01-22T20:54:04+00:00

What was aa ceos response.

selesnyandruid · 2022-01-23T05:34:07+00:00

What?? No. This woman is in the right. Women are in significantly more danger alone at night then men, so the best policy for the AA is to in general prioritize women. In no way does this reality mean men don’t have unique problems in society that our culture is inadequately addressing, this is just a reality of current gender dynamics. Women get preyed on at night

Counter point - attack the idea, not the messenger.

Imagine you could measure the danger of various stranded drivers being robbed or assaulted. What would be the statistically significant factors? Height? Weight? Sex?

In other words, isn't average woman statistically more at danger when stranded on the side of a road than average man?

Also, is that danger really significant? Compare to mere inconvenience of being stranded for hours in a broken car?
