Disparities in what are construed 'attacks on" people by gender. "Attacks On Women Surge In Social Media"; in actuality, pro-lifer rhetoric surges, but this is considered 'an attack on women', meanwhile, #killallmen, #itsallmen, and #ichoosebear isnt considered an attack on men.

'your body, my choice', attacks on women surge in social media

Regardless of how anyone feels about the rhetorical point, or the abortion question, it is pro-lifer rhetoric. being a pro-lifer isnt being 'anti-woman'.

this is part of that hysterical kind of response that tries to reframe even normal human behavior as some kind of affront to women's virtue and dignity, a 'threat' to their personage as a human being. I assume most folks here are pro-choice, understand, i aint taking a stance on that here. im saying that being pro-life isnt being anti-woman, and pretending that it is fuels the hysteria around 'women being under attack'.

they are not.

recall too that the way this stuff goes typically at any rate is the 'threat against women' is ratcheted up, to raise the level of fear in society to wild levels, in order to justify radical measures to address it. strongmen need weakwomen in order to justify their strongman tactics.

This generally always entails vilifying men in particular.

one amazing point that this highlights tho, and to the point of the double standard, is that the attacks on men havent stopped surging in the past several decades. folks just dont classify them as attacks on men. they classify them as defense, or raising awareness, or something akin to that. much as how in instances of DV men being attacked by women is widely construed as 'defense', whilst any action taken by a man in DV instance is considered offense.

recall, #killallmen #itsallmen #ichoosebear #metoo and #itsalwaysmen among many, many, many others have trended regularly. but they simply are not classified as 'attacks on men'. even tho many of those have directly led to en masse actions against men, as in targeting them for harassment online and in real life, targeting them for exclusion from social groups, families, encouraging people to bully them online, heckle them irl, suggest that they lose their jobs, and of course the good o beat downs and actual lynching that end up occurring in the name of 'defense of women' in some broad vague way.

whereas 'your body my choice' at most, i mean, assuming anything came of it at all, would entail a policy change regarding abortion. hardly an 'attack on women'.

because to these folks, men arent human beings, they cant really be attacked, only defended against. Men are simply viewed as attackers, predators, evil animalistic creatures, terms we hear from the right too when they speak of the 'vermin' that we leftist scum really are, or the mexican rapists (men) who are vermin swarming over the border, or the 'scary urban people (blacks). they too seek to attack as many men as they possibly can, they just targeting slightly different groups of men.

it isnt a left wing problem, its a woman problem, a gendered problem, whereby men are simply viewed as subhuman, disposable, aggressors, incapable of suffering harm, etc....

'your body my choice' is something that pokes fun at pro-abortion rhetoric, not women per se. it is a pro-lifers punny retort. that isnt an 'attack on women' it is a pro-lifer punny retort. that folks are going hysterical over it and pretending it is an attack on women only furthers the problems of polarization, gender warfare, and highlights how women's issues are prima facie taken seriously, whilst mens issues are not.

i mean, even things that arent attacks on women are treated as if they were, whereas #killallmen, #itsalwaysmen, #metoo #ichoosebear, these obvious and clear attacks on men as men are simply ignored, or even celebrated openly by people.

enjoy bathing in man blood i guess.
