It really really isn't the same thing. Stop strawmanning.

Which is perpetrated exclusively by single men!

It takes five minutes to find data that shows that this is very much not sexism.

What data?

Women would literally rather be stuck with a bear rather than a man they do not know. So, is it sexism? Or is there a fundamental problem (read patriarchy) that makes women scared of men.

Do you think it’s sexist to report that men commit 90% of all rape and sexual assault?

I must’ve missed that part. Where does it say that only single men commit rape? Oh right it doesn’t. But you got defensive…. Which is suspect to say the least.

So if I am being an asshole, I should make the "logical" jump that all single women are whores and sluts because majority of prostitutes are women.

Not all men and not all women. Generalising is never good.

Holy shit, ad blockers are a thing, people. ublock origin and SponsorBlock for a safer, happier life! Browsing anything without blockers is akin to dripping dimethyl mercury on your genitalia, crossing your fingers, and wildly hoping for the best.

Yes you are being an asshole thanks for noticing. Also wtf are you on about - no where does it say “ALL SINGLE MEN ARE RAPIST.”

You saw yourself in this comic and got defensive - that “whores and sluts” line came naturally to you.

This is the same reaction that I had when I saw the post that says "men are rapists". I got offended.

Number of dangerous outcomes when meeting a new person in a date by gender.

Violent crime by gender.

Rape events by gender.

Domestic break and entering by gender.

Is it? I thought it was just "ugly men in your neighborhood"

I 100% agree with this data. Men commit more crimes of this nature than women. Problem is not with the data. Problem is that this data is not directly relevant here.

Most such crimes are committed by men but most men don’t commit such crimes. And the post implies that most men do.

And the post implies that most men do.

Not really. The image (which might I remind you is a comic strip, not some article published on Science or an opinion piece on the New York Times) implies that women feel very differently about "random strangers of the opposite sex near you right now!" than men do.

And that's true, precisely because of the data you just agreed is valid. If I say to a guy friend "dude you're not going to believe this, we were invited to a party with 50 girls and we will be the only two men!" he'll have a profoundly different reaction than if a girl heard from a friend "girl you're not going to believe this, we were invited to a party with 50 men and we will be the only two girls!". It doesn't matter to them, at this point, "oH nOt AlL MeN aRe DaNGeRoUs" what matters is that they'd be in a inherently more dangerous position than men would be in the opposite scenario.

The comic strip is noticing the difference in gut feeling and reaction, not proposing a thesis on men's criminality.

wow this discourse is cancer

And the post implies that most men do.”

I don’t agree this is the implication. The comic is juxtaposing how men might see a bunch of single women as an opportunity whereas women might see a bunch of single men as a threat. It doesn’t have to be all or even most men in that group for the threat to be real.

Also how is the data not relevant? The data is literally quantifying the problem this comic is addressing: this is a problem that disproportionately victimizes women and the perpetrators are often men, by a large margin. That is literally the basis for why the woman is unsettled whereas the man is relatively carefree.

The prior comment read very much like satire to me. I doubt anyone seriously believes single men are the only people that commit rape.

Ethyl... Tasty... May I have a sausage too?

You've fallen for the classic blunder.

By jumping in and commenting, you have proven them right in their minds.

It's a thought terminating trap. Women are allowed to call out sexism when they see it against themselves, whereas men are not allowed to call out sexism when they see it against themselves.

Its about as sexist to say that, as it is racist to spout crime statistics about black people without solution.
