I imagine women having the majority of the purchasing power in the US has something to do with it.

I don't have a real problem with feminists raising awareness of female victims as long as they don't lie about statistics (which they do) or blame male victims on DV as "he was obviously battering her anyway", "women only do this in self defense" or the classic "what male victims?!". Or if they try to obstruct research/funding going into male issues which they systematically do.

Ofc they’re catering to women, they spend more money than men.

White ribbon, preventing male violence against women and girls.
Enough! preventing mLe violence against women and girls.
Teachers toolkit to help kids spot sexism and misogyny.

All of these campaign are funded by VAWG. (violence against women and girls). I find it especially interesting that these campaigns come throughout November. A month tradiotnally where we remember people from wars (mostly men), mLe mental health month, movember, and international mens day.

This reeks of a desperate attempt yo take away any positive mention of men, and force attention towards women, who are of course, victims.

The focus will always be women, whether is 25% of all arrests in Iran being women, or women being attacked.

The media, run by liberals, has made men, white people, Asian people, and straight people 'out of fashion'.

There was a similar thing a couple of years ago after a woman was killed by a police officer in London. I had debates with women who all said "men don't have to be aware or frightened when out walking alone".

Like what?? Men get attacked FAR more than women, they really think men don't clench their fists when walking alone past someone in a dark alley?

The gender war is part of their culture war. Similar to the cancelling of anyone saying "all lives matter" (the most anti-racist thing you can say). If you campaign for causes not to be unnaturally focused on women, despite statistics; you're sexist and misogynistic.

I never really understood why it's "raise awareness to female victims of abuse" and not just "raise awareness to victims of abuse".

Honest Ribbon exists to counter the more unjustifiable claims that are made by white ribbon groups. It is run by Erin Pizzey.

Not necessarily wrong in and of itself, but it’s worth noting that you’ll never see a sign on a train saying ‘end male homelessness’ or ‘prevent male suicide’ or ‘our mission is to stop men being affected by …’. And that’s all you need to know!

If you want something for men, the badge normally used for prostate cancer awareness can also be used to advocate for men’s rights here

There's more ad campaigning for women because people have more sympathy for women than they do for men. It's called the gender empathy gap. Men care more about women, i.e. out-group preference, and women prefer women, i.e. in-group preference.

Yeah, White Ribbon.

The cause in and of itself is ok - as with BLM it’s when they start assuming that it’s “only violence against women” that’s an issue that I really have problems. And it’s not helped by the fact they they appoint the likes of O’Keefe to be their “ambassadors” - it’s just the same as having Turd as an ambassador for preventing DV!

I think that alone tells us all we need to know about these organisations.

This isn't a case of a corporation being a "simp" or appeasing radical feminism.

The scheme is a partnership between the Rail Delivery Group, which represents train operators, and Women’s Aid Federation England, Welsh Women’s Aid, Scottish Womens’ Aid and Imkaan. Of those helped, 65% said they would not or could not have travelled if the journey had not been paid for. It looks like they are actually doing good work and not just appeasing anyone.

The White Ribbon Campaign was established after the Montreal Massacre of 1989, which was when twenty-five-year-old Marc Lépine slaughtered 14 women because of his hatred toward women. Unfortunately, this has not been an isolated incident. Only in October this year, a self-described "Incel" from Ohio admitted to planning a massacre out of hatred, jealousy and revenge, hoping to kill as many as 3000 women.

so , having compassion for an abused woman is being a simp but having compassion for men who are abused isnt? what if you have compassion for people who are abused? would that make someone an uber simp? why would it make you so angry that people are supporting victims of abuse?

That’s like saying people shouldn’t talk about breast cancer awareness when there’s lung cancer that needs awareness.

No problem, will do. Good luck with your goals anyway.
