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.
One user called me a rapist for this. Like wtf. How anything defending men can be converted to men are rapist pigs, is fascinating.
Okay not sexist at all then. Because there’s nothing racist about crime statistics about black people.
What people might do or say in regards to those statistics is typically where the racism comes in.
In a thread where the discussion is men, spouting statistics without solution is prejudicial.
Just like it would be racist to do the same thing with black people.
You're being purposefully ignorant of the current thread we are in.
It was a joke, maybe you have heard of them?
I've been married for two decades and just thought it would be funny if someone read way too much into the singles part. It isn't like BTK, Trump, and other married rapists aren't well known.
I always forget that going over the top with exaggeration will fly over the heads of the angriest people.
Oof. I really shouldn’t have to explain the systemic difference between the two.
Also once again, this comic is making the joke that a strange man could be a rapist, and that women are not interested in strange men the same way men may be interested strange women - not that all single men are rapists.
You’re purposefully conflating this comic to the level of hating men, and then to the level of using crime statistics to perpetuate systemic racism. Brother you’ve lost the plot.
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them“
Is the patriarchy not a systemic issue?
Bringing up statistics without a solution is problematic, to say the very least.
If you have issue with that statement, then you may need to rethink your approach.
YES! We’re getting to the same page. The difference is the patriarchy defends itself. I’ve never seen a black person fight to defend systemic racism.
Where does it say that only single men commit rape
You mean the punchline?
But I have seen black people defend themselves when someone brings up crime stats without solutions or discussions of the systems in place.
Weird how that works huh?
In college, I saw a sign that said something like 1 in 6 women will be sexually assaulted. Based on conversations with women around me and my own experiences, I’m pretty sure it’s actually 6 in 6 women.
Before you get upset, yes, I am aware men get assaulted too. That’s not okay either.
That’s not the punchline. The audience doesn’t even know if the man on the laptop is a rapist, could be a stand up dude.
The punchline is that you can’t market sex to women the same way you market sex to men. Why? Well maybe you should ask a woman.
I agree with this. Problem is that it is not done by most men, but this post makes it seem like most of them do or want to.
Omg we’re so close! Yes they defend themselves because those statistics are being used as weapons in furthering systemic racism. Us making fun of men (once again, not happening in this comic) does nothing but damage the patriarchy, which we agree is good right?
To be clear, when we shit on bad men - I do want there to be nuance that we are specifically talking about bad men. This comic doesn’t need that because he’s either a rapist or he’s not - but it doesn’t matter because he’s still a stranger and that MAY be dangerous.
Interesting. I interpreted it differently.
I saw it as women experience assault at such high levels, that they feel unsafe around strangers.
Whereas, men see it as an exciting opportunity, full of possibilities. Not necessarily that they intend to commit assault.
She's locking the door. There's more implication than failing to sell sex to women there
Please go discuss this comic with a woman.
