For the men that aren’t mad about the Cornell Rape case. Imagine if a 7 sorority girls all decided to falsely accuse one guy of rape. Would that make you upset?

It’s like they have a different standard for two different groups of people, like there are double of them, some kind of double standard even

They would be upset because it’s a man being targeted instead of a woman. This can’t convince them because they’re aware they have a double standard and embrace it. They’re just pro sexism

I mean like, innocent until proven guilty. At the same time, the nature of it requires us to take it seriously yk?

I imagine if the FBI had anything to launch an investigation on Trump we would hear about it. They investigated pretty much every other lead they could. Why not the Michigan thing in the Epstein files?

I don’t think they have, which is why Cornell dropped the case. Either that or they’re covering for the frats, which either way needs investigating before we can say definitively

they are covering. cornell didnt drop it really, they just swept it under the rug by expelling 2 and letting some come back after writing essays. they banned the frat that did it. there is text message proof. are you assuming or did you get false info somewhere?

Look these are great soundbites… but #5 is practicing an emotional resilience technique that’s quickly becoming adopted by many people across the western world as more and more things are deepfaked (def not saying this topic under examination is a deepfake) If we allow ourselves to become enraged (in this case, rightfully so) anytime there’s headlines that prompt us, we become open to emotional manipulation by anyone who can write a headline.

Minus you calling them a “fucktard”. I don’t know anyone who’s willing to reconsider their stance on something after being called a fucktard.

not exactly. as a psychologist, balance is what allows us to be resilient, not ignorance. #5’s sentiment doesn’t mean anything because, whether they want to admit it or not, the cornell 7 DOES affect them (more specifically, how it was treated by its own administration affects anyone in the western world). #5 is actively denying the reality around them which is a direct threat to emotional resilience.

i think you have a good point with your last part, but #5 isn’t distancing themselves from headlines that are inflating the situation, they are like actively denying that the allowance of rape in oneplace in the U.S. affects, directly or indirectly, everyone in the us

That’s true. Given your background in psychology, what do you recommend as a solution for the ongoing desensitization? I’ve regrettably taken part in experiments that try to force people to react/be emotional a certain way. I would rather there be some kind of willing incentive for people to re-engage.

i love the question!! desensitization is very commonly a defense mechanism that people deploy when theyre feeling emotionally exhausted or just generally when they feel like caring about a situation will be too emotionally costly (this is even more common when they feel like they have no autonomy in the situation. by that i mean, if someone feels like they cant help in a situation, they might try to not care so that they are not distressed by their own inability to help). 1/2

so for those reasons, it can be effective to give easy ways for people to engage in the conflict. contacting representatives about legislation are a really common example of this! sometimes it’s also influenced by a pessimistic perspective, so opening the doors to more conversations about justice that IS occurring around the world i think could also prove beneficial. it kind of shows that their actions matter. i’m of the opinion that desensitization can be a product of learned helplessness

Strangely enough what I believe you’re describing is common among veterans (at least my peer group) For them it’s not exactly “helplessness” but … we never see a green light by the public whether it be through law enforcement means, private contracting, deputation, etc. There’s this common vibe of “okay, when do you want us to go kill the bad guys… there’s obviously a ton of them out there.” We see things like the Cornell case or Epstein Island (1/2)

2/2 then think to ourselves (I could have killed all of them ((however delusional that might be)) I fear the lack of green light to deliver justice is driving the desensitization in that group extremely heavily.

Respectfully, when you let apathy become normalized, you are desensitized to these things. Now idk about you, but I refuse to be desensitized to rape and I refuse to let it be normalized that people get away with it. I don’t care about whoever’s feeling being hurt by calling them “fucktard”. I care about the men and women and children who have been taken advantage of by a system designed for the ultra wealthy.

That’s fair. I still think your argument is stronger without it. When you make a true statement and no part of it is false, it’s very difficult for the person you’re saying it towards to disagree. Heck, they might even disagree with you in the moment but a heavy 100% true statement lingers in its audience like an anchor in their subconscious. (Psychology people… help me out, is that metaphor correct?)
