Men, stop doing this to yourselves...

Lecks · 2013-04-08T21:00:14+00:00

Easier said than done. The misfortunes of men have been the butt of jokes for a very long time, mostly told by other men. Witnessing the profound lack of sympathy displayed by some men for the plight of other men as someone interested in gender issues can be disheartening.

vessol · 2013-04-08T22:01:36+00:00

Ugh, someone posted this on my Facebook feed as well. I got into a massive argument when someone told me if a man's penis is erect then he obviously consented to it. Fucking bullshit.

Females also become sexually aroused during rape it's reported. That does not mean that she consented to it and that it is not rape.

It doesn't matter what gender you are. If someone takes sexual actions towards you that you do not consent to at that time, then it is rape and it is wrong.

Suitecake · 2013-04-08T21:52:11+00:00

Let's talk about the idiocy of this post's title. "Men, stop doing this to yourselves..." Based on the responses of three men to some random facebook post. When you see a subset of a group speaking or writing in an idiotic way, don't hold the group responsible. We learned awhile ago that that's a bad idea.

I'm not responsible for these guys. They're people saying dumb things.

CrossHook · 2013-04-08T20:30:04+00:00

Only sex starved losers talk like that.

Unfortunately there are a shitload of sex starved losers.

Parabuthus · 2013-04-08T21:24:51+00:00

It's a shame that men, even when they actually REALIZE that they're been assaulted, feel ashamed to report the incident. When someone actually gets a good hold on his balls and says something about it, other people ridicule him. Not right, not fair.

misingnoglic · 2013-04-08T23:06:49+00:00

This is about as bad as when lots of women on twitter were saying "I would let Chris Brown hit me!" - Absolutely horrible -.-

queen_of_greendale · 2013-04-09T01:49:18+00:00

I heard this on Virgin Radio Toronto this morning. The male hosts poked fun, claimed 'chubby regret', etc. The female host was the one who got pretty upset and was adamant that it was sexual assault. The whole thing pissed me off - mens rights or not, making fun of/crying 'fake' to a sexual assault helps no one, ever.

TheCanPanda · 2013-04-08T22:04:02+00:00

Each gender has their crazies...

hope-hubris · 2013-04-08T23:00:47+00:00

those aren't men, just stupid little boys.

hahaz13 · 2013-04-08T22:15:51+00:00

These guys probably just read the headlines. They just assume it was four average girls who raped this guy at worst, and at best four 'hotties'.

If they actually read the story, they would have realized that the accused rapists were 4 women, all of whom were about 5'4'' and over 200 pounds. I doubt they'd voice the same concern if they knew this, which is sad.

Weed_n_Wisdom · 2013-04-09T00:37:09+00:00

Most guys say shit like that to be "macho" because it appeals to women. That's all.

Take this shit off the frontpage and make way for real content. This post is filled with trolls and upvoted by such too.

MeEvilBob · 2013-04-08T22:01:33+00:00

I think anybody who's giving this guy shit is assuming that these women were half the size he was and that there was no real threat. It wouldn't be the first time someone assumed that there is no woman alive that could defend herself against even the smallest and most vulerable men.

RPrevolution · 2013-04-08T22:18:00+00:00

True, but I disagree with the subtext of what you say. It's not our responsibility what other men do, and it would be futile to try to make all men moral in order to avoid prejudice. Prejudice is what we should fight, not moral failings in all men, because that is much harder.

VVingless · 2013-04-09T00:52:27+00:00

I'm sure if they realized the women in question were overweight, older, and probably ugly, they'd retract their statement.

itzreviax · 2013-04-09T02:18:27+00:00

There is no difference between this and top comments in North Korea threads, it's just dumb people trying to be funny.

FundayMonday · 2013-04-09T02:49:37+00:00

The best part about it is that if you read the article, all four women are described as about 5'3" and 200 pounds. If you take a moment to picture that x4, you wouldn't joke as the guy having a good time.

TheExits · 2013-04-08T22:38:51+00:00

Meanwhile, over at SRS...

TheDemonClown · 2013-04-08T23:10:36+00:00

An online friend was talking about this earlier like, "How the fuck is a man going to say he was sexually harassed?" My response: "Men can be harassed - it's called 'not wanting to hook up with a car full of chicks who're all totally comfortable with fucking someone they just met". Because that's pretty groddy, if you ask me.

2013-04-09T00:54:23+00:00

Police say the four female suspects are all white, in their thirties, and approximately 5’4” and 200 pounds.

Guarantee they wouldn't be saying that if they'd read this.

AmuseDeath · 2013-04-09T00:57:13+00:00

Stupid people...

ExpendableOne · 2013-04-09T02:30:20+00:00

What's up with the title? Do you really think there aren't women out there that wouldn't tell men that they are lucky for being raped by four women?

Police say the four female suspects are all white, in their thirties, and approximately 5’4” and 200 pounds. The women were wearing short black dresses with high heels and no nylons.

undersight · 2013-04-09T04:34:45+00:00

I hope you called those people out for being pieces of shit. Or at least removed them.

Pooptown1990 · 2013-04-09T07:57:11+00:00

I don't think people realize how horribly embarrassing even telling someone what happened. It would have to be a situation beyond something that no one would ever want to admit.

mindwhirl · 2013-04-09T08:07:58+00:00

Those are boys not men.

AustNerevar · 2013-04-09T08:18:35+00:00

How the fuck does this piece of shit have so many upvotes?

anachronic · 2013-04-09T13:45:11+00:00

Considering I've never done that, it should be easy to stop.

2013-04-08T23:12:09+00:00

I think they assume that the women are good looking.

lookatmetype · 2013-04-09T01:34:57+00:00

Those guys are probably feminists too

TWeis2195 · 2013-04-09T03:27:43+00:00

I what to know what was offered ...

HiveMindNotMe · 2013-04-09T11:19:52+00:00

not men posted there, but immature boys, no matter how old they actually are.

IrateGandhi · 2013-04-09T14:38:48+00:00

This is the type of thing that makes me rage.

2013-04-09T16:11:15+00:00

I don't mind people making light of any situation so it's not really them making jokes that bothers me, it's the fact they are probably too ignorant to realise someone was actually wronged

admiralgenaladeen · 2013-04-09T16:57:03+00:00

Women stop setting us up for this

DEATH_TO_REDDIT · 2013-04-08T21:48:00+00:00

I wonder if speech like this is more about "I can't distinguish between fantasy and reality in regards to Men".

2013-04-08T22:57:37+00:00

Is this the 3rd post I've seen from this one incident now?

2013-04-09T00:48:52+00:00

The problem is that only part of the story is presented. The rest of the story is that all 4 women were described as 5'4" and 200 pounds. No body would be high fiving the guy if they knew that.

mcdxi11 · 2013-04-09T01:53:14+00:00

Those are not men.

deathstar_janitor · 2013-04-09T05:48:16+00:00

Those aren't men.

Mysmonstret · 2013-04-09T06:18:00+00:00

I posted this on my facebook as well, and had creative discussions about how these types of offences don't get nearly as much airtime as they should.

You see the key is not having idiots on your facebook :P relation or no, if a person is a moron, I remove him/her. My facebook is my private oasis, not a warzone.

2013-04-09T09:14:31+00:00

Hm, a Men's Rights post I agree with.

grimmwrath · 2013-04-09T13:12:20+00:00

I would have thought, hey, four chicks! Then I read the description on the women, they were all estimated at 200 lbs.

No longer cool…

OutstandinMediocracy · 2013-04-09T03:03:07+00:00

Yea i heard the ladies were fat anyway. 5'4 and 200 pounds. Thats rape

andrewjackson5 · 2013-04-09T04:47:12+00:00

The women were each around 200lbs

Not that this is a reasonable argument to their naive arrogance, but all four women were around 5'4" and 200 lbs. So yeah, not quite as hot and steamy as their sex-starved porn fantasies.

Regstrd2UnsbPolitics · 2013-04-09T01:34:34+00:00

It's only rape if they were heinous or fat.

queen_of_greendale · 2013-04-09T01:29:33+00:00

Why? Being unsympathetic to each other is why on average men are mentally stronger than women.

AngularGigidy · 2013-04-08T22:21:05+00:00

HAZAH! A gentlemen's agreement.

bronkula · 2013-04-08T21:52:30+00:00

I think the problem here is, you're confusing boys to men.

whoizz · 2013-04-08T20:11:22+00:00

I'm not sure if we could call these sheeple men.

Edit: not that they're not male but that they can't critical thinking.

bakshadow · 2013-04-09T01:46:49+00:00

If he had a boner it was consensual

humanspace · 2013-04-08T22:18:49+00:00

Why? I'm genuinely laughing at him. Why shouldn't I express it. First, I doubt it occurred. Second, I have no sympathy for him even if it did. I simply don't give a shit. Even if it happened. Big deal. Move on. Be a man, kick some ass if you want, but don't be a little wussy who runs to the cops like you are running to mommy.
