I think it is perfectly normal and acceptable for women to assume men r bad until they PROVE they aren’t. Based on LITERALLY all of history. I’ve always regretted giving a man the benefit of the doubt & for what?

as a woman, i disagree. man could easily be replaced by something like race and im willing to bet if it were, you’d be upset by such statement.

Wonderful opinion. question, how do you expect men who had literally nothing to do with any of the negative opinions you’ve had or events you’ve described should deal with that position. Why would I prove myself to someone when the first thing they do is judge me negatively based on indelible physical traits?

Your position is essentially “mistreatment leads to resentment.” Which is generally true, but the solution of “therefore we should mistreat MORE people because they share chromosome pairs with the people who mistreated me.” Is fkn wild.

You really just don’t get it do you. Even if I had the most wonderful experiences with every man I’ve met (which no woman has ever said in her life) that’s not the point. The point is that men are inherently bad. When murders happen, who is it 90% of the time? A man. Rapes? Men. I naturally want to trust men, but unfortunately, the reality of this world is that the majority of men, can be seriously terrible. And even if they aren’t terrible, most of them will micro cheat or just r incapable of..

of loving in the way most women do because of the way our society doesn’t allow them to fully feel their emotions. If I’m going to trust a man, it’s because he understands how much more of a leap it is for a woman to make that decision than a man. Any man who doesn’t understand that is probably a part of the problem.

What’s wrong with treating people as individuals? You could do the same “statistics.” Bullshit with race, yet it is just as incorrect and frankly evil as when you do it with sex. “90%” of X crimes are committed by Y.” Yes, but those crimes are committed by 1% of Y. 99% of that group are normal human beings with equal dignity who should be treated as such.

I completely understand your point. “Men are inherently bad.” Is pretty clear, but I have a question. As a man, a man who’s never even gotten a speeding ticket, let alone committed a violent crime. What am I supposed to do in this world view, kneel down like I do in church and beg for the expiation of my intrinsic sins? Or should I simply accept my moral inferiority because people who look like me do bad things?

Should a black guy have to do extra penance because more crimes are committed by people who happen to look like him? And are we talking about just nationally or worldwide? Is a man from Wisconsin responsible for the crimes being committed by men in Sudan? This entire ideology creates an absurd world, and that’s assuming all the men just go along with it. What’s more likely is your initial point will be repeated.

Discrimination leads to resentment. And what you’re doing is definitely discrimination. Why do you think your attitude won’t create resentment.

If you’re really a good man, then being cautious around men shouldn’t bother you because your actions will speak louder than anything else. The fact that some men get defensive about women protecting themselves only shows why that caution is necessary.

If you had a daughter, would you want her to give every man the benefit of the doubt? Or would you want her to be cautious until a man proves he’s safe? That’s exactly the point , it’s not about hating men, it’s about literally protecting ourselves

And no, it is not the same thing with race. AT ALL. Crime stats around minority groups ignore the fact that systemic white supremacy forced many into conditions where crime was sometimes the only option for survival. That’s completely different. With men, we’re talking about half the world’s population and a much longer history of men using power over women.

These stats aren’t distorted by oppression, they directly reflect patterns of male violence and manipulation. In this case, women are the oppressed group, not men, and flipping it around only erases that reality.
