All Men?

I doubt that they will squirm. They have, no doubt, been using the "all men" BS as a cudgel to beat the unlucky men in their lives for years.

Maybe they won't say that it is "all men" but their beliefs come with a trick.

They believe male violence, rape, domestic violence, sexual assault, etc is a byproduct of a patriarchy. A society in which men "made". They believe these issues are the result of an encultured view of manhood, masculinity, devaluation of women/femininity and misogyny. They believe these things come from a patriarchal society in which men created, maintain and contribute to, and a culture and view of manhood/masculinity in which men contribute to.

Maybe they won't say its "all men" but they will say that all men contribute to the culture (patriarchy, rape culture, toxic masculinity, etc).

Therefore, in some way, all men are partially to blame according to their views.

Brave off you to assume that their dad's stick around

It’s not all men, it’s too many men. Ask any woman you know and I bet she’s dealt with sexual harassment. We say all men because we don’t know who we can trust. That’s the response you’d get. Or something close to it. It’s nonsense but hey no point trying to use logic against feminists.

And there we have it, domestic violence from people known to their attacker is of a higher prevalence than stranger violence.

61% of attacks committed by people known to the woman (mostly partners and ex partners) compared to 6% who are strangers. Yet the message is be scared of all men?

The message which has been hijacked by radical feminists should focus on this domestic violence rather than the ludicrous notion that all men are potential rapists, when this is patently not true.

And please, dont stay with these men, dont forgive them, dont ignore the warnings from your family and friends, and no, you cant fix them and they wont change their ways. Once an abuser always an abuser.

Bold of you to assume that women like them have a father figure in the first place...

I've seen a lot of them blame men in their families for their issues.

I'm a woman. I was first catcalled at the age of 8. I've seen screenshots of my own brother calling a girl who wouldn't send him nudes a whore, my grandfather described in depth to my uncle what he would like to do to one of my friend's when she turns 18. My father raped a woman who was not my mother and then got custody of the product of that rape.

I've had male family members invalidate me when a 22 year old man forced himself on me while, at 13, I was wearing my school uniform. Male cops told me he wasn't going to get longer than a year because it was his first offence. Friends have been told the same.

It is not all men, but if I don't know which menI'm very well going to fucking avoid all of them to keep myself safe because I've been receiving unwanted sexual attention since i was a child .

Virtueisexcellence · 2021-03-16T15:06:13+00:00

Obviously not all men assault people. But the thing is, I don't know whether my father, brothers, uncles, or grandfather has assaulted someone. Predators don't wear a sign that says "predator". What I do know, though, is that I've received unwanted sexual attention from at least 4 male relatives at a young age, and was assaulted by a fifth one. It is fair, then, to think that "enough men do this that I should be afraid/ assume that ALL men are like this" so that I stay protected.

FireBugO · 2021-03-16T15:40:41+00:00

Yes absolutely. My grandfather raped my mother for years. My father is a big guy, if he wanted to hurt someone he could. Hell if someone came up to me and said that they were scared of anyone in my life who was a guy, I would understand.

Where do you think the belief came from? It started with our abusive or absent fathers.

Lonely-LND · 2021-03-16T16:18:21+00:00

Almost nobody is saying all men, I have a great dad, great boyfriend and great male friends, I do not fear any of them. If they are walking on a path towards a stranger woman who is on her own, particularly at night for example, might she fear them? Err yeah. I’m petrified of spiders, but I know the majority of them aren’t gonna kill me
