Yeahh I ultimately decided against going into a career in cyber forensics because of certain case involving so many men (over 260k+) essentially creating an online trafficking ring, blackmailing girls as young as elementary school age into doing things so sick it actively made me question if there was any good in this world, I’m a pretty mentally strong person but I couldn’t subject myself to carrying out in an investigation like that just to see there be no real consequences happen
THANK. YOU. when i say “i hate men” this is what i’m talking about. i don’t give a fuck if it’s “not all men 🥺” when it’s happened to too many women. and don’t even get me started on the ppl who try to say “but never assume!” when NOT assuming is exactly what can lead to becoming a statistic when it comes to this
Someone who is a rape victim, I can attest that I say “I hate men.” And so many people want to say, but it’s not all men and that’s not the point. I’ve been raped by a man who was a family member and was supposed to trust him and I couldn’t. If I couldn’t trust him then who else can I not trust…
holy fuck why are there SO MANY MEN in these comments trying to be defensive? bro almost every girl out there has a story in their own actual life about a man being creepy or who’s being forceful; and you can cite things like porn and the government and whatever the fuck, but the REAL problem is WHY THE FUCK DO YOU GET DEFENSIVE FIRST? stop caring about the fact that they don’t trust men and start holding you and your friends accountable for behaviours that encourage this culture! easy peasy!
(Only 2 people involved were ever prosecuted and the names of the others were never released to the public because a couple of “poor little” low lives started ending their shit over the possibility of being exposed) so yeah this plus the mishandling Epstein and that pedophilia study done in Australia has really altered my perspective when it comes to men in leadership
(Mind you this isn’t something you can just stumble into on the internet, they had a 3 step verification system in which they had to share a video of a woman they took unconsensually, these videos had these men’s wives, their mothers, their coworkers and even their children/babies, there was at least one victim death tied to this as one of the leaders blackmailed her into lighting herself on fire in front of a police station, many of the victims were being gang stalked and raped by this group)
We didn’t have rape kits until the 70’s and they weren’t common in use until the 80s proving a SA/rape before then was much more difficult than it is now, (if we would actually test these kits instead of letting thousands of them sit in storage every year we’d be in a much better position) and also child sex abuse material wasn’t banned until ‘78, both the invention and advocacy was thanks to 2nd wave “sexual revolution” feminists, acting like every feminist is some israeli cia operative -
i feel like we should focus on justice and medical and mental help rather than pointing fingers and spreading hate. i have experienced sexual assault but i disagree with the victimizing. while something happened to me, it doesn't mean im helpless and insignificant, or that all men are evil. we have to focus on resources and not spreading stigmas
in the same way men perpetuate majority of murders they perpetuate majority of rapes. acknowledging the global condition of women does not equate to “spreading stigmas.” why can’t women talk about FACTS without a bird saying “not all men are evil🥺” I PROMISE they don’t need that from you.
exactly. and honestly i’ve never been an i hate men person but after i too got raped, i’ve seen things differently. and men always wanna try to defend themselves when victims say that, but they’re completely missing the point. “i hate men” is said out of frustration with men in general because of all the shit they have put us through. and it’s valid to feel that way
nah this is just a common method ppl use to defend men in this situation. it’s valid to assume all men when you’ve experienced that. it’s always safer to assume, but regardless ppl usually don’t mean it literally when they say they hate men. and if they do, that’s 100% valid given what women as a whole have gone through bc of men
I know plenty of great guys, they’re very understanding and have more discernment than you’re giving them credit for. They understand being SA’d can cause a lot of issues with trust and it’s not personal. Just because someone processes that differently than you, as long as they aren’t hurting anyone, who are you to get on a moral high horse about it? Its just adding onto the stigma that survivors face for not being the “perfect victim”,
SA survivors aren’t stopping men from getting jobs, finding housing or face discrimination on any scale, its not nearly as worrisome as more men in our generation believing women need to be submissive to their husbands and in repealing the 19th amendment at higher rates than boomer men
Also “the government wouldn’t allow that” isn’t the best argument with that since the government has already allowed that, they allow for thousands of rape kits to go untested every year, they allow for homocide to be the #1 killer of pregnant women, they allow companies to not cover any maternity leave, they allow young girls/children to be trafficked from the foster care system (60% of trafficking victims came from foster care), & they dont care, which is why we need to advocate for ourselves
The “foreigners” thing is racist misinformation btw. Rape is rampant and laws again Stuart are rarely enforced in the US and Europe , but “foreigners,” ie POC are more likely to be convicted and white me more likely to get away with it because of systemic biases. Don’t turn the rape epidemic into and excuse to be racist.
tbh i see this convo and thread is misleading bc a lot of people are making it seem like 99% of men on earth are perpetrators but it's supposed to be 99% of actual SA cases in the usa where men are perpetrators. but a lot of stuff gets underreported too. approx 61% of cases aren't reported to law enforcement. and i ain't gon lie there's probably an amount of male victims being underreported too cuz of fear of it gettin twisted or fear that the female will make themselves look like a victim.
Girl who the fuck cares if people think that 99% of men on earth are perpetrators? How does that affect their life in any way? Yes they are under reports but you don’t think it’s out of pocket that 99% of the reported cases were done by men? How does “”””hating men”””” affects men besides hurting their feelings on the Internet
i mean i kinda care. i don't want someone grouping me with a bunch of other people just because i fit in the demographic of what they look like. and i just try to think about how that would make me feel when ppl say shift about my gender or name call. i don't like it when men call all women sensitive or sluts or gold digger. just because there's some women out there that are like that doesn't mean other women are like that. i just try to live by treating others the way i wanna be treated
You shouldn’t feel the need to be apologetic about being a man, because you aren’t a rapist. We are always disregarded because of the actions that the majority of men choose to do, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I understand that you have suffered, but so have these women. You can’t discredit their feelings either though.
Because they can’t get past their own ego. Because for some they know they are the problem, and the others can’t realize this isn’t about them. I believe all rapists deserve justice regardless of gender, but to do that, men have to be willing to empathize with women rather than see it as an attack on their character.
