Thats not what I said but okay. There are instances when we defended men downnn when it came to SA, the issue is that when some men bring it up on here its like they're trying to rub salt on a wound and instead of spreading awareness its to spread something to hold against women. I feel like we should bond over things like SA and shared experiences but instead people like to make everything into a stupid gender war that does good for nobody.
Some of you don't want women to generalize men but in the same breathe use some of these instances as a moment to generalize women and think its okay because its SA. Its bad either way it goes. I can admit that in general every one should take male SA more seriously but trying to further cause division is what causes women to be more defensive than receptive. This issue in the past has been used to troll SEVERAL times already
My thing is, nobody is arguing that it doesn't happen to men. Infact in the og post I see women supporting the fact that male SA exists and is also a problem. Your here fighting this mystical battle against women idk if its to troll or because you have some vendetta or what, but you are solving nothing and adding to the issue
That post is filled with people answering my question “why does it fall on deaf ears” with “well women are assaulted more”. That’s not a good enough or empathetic enough answer to me, and reveals a lack of understanding about how widespread sexual assault truly is- and that it’s not just a gendered thing.
