That's not sexist at all
Women would literally rather be stuck with a bear rather than a man they do not know. So, is it sexism? Or is there a fundamental problem (read patriarchy) that makes women scared of men.
Do you think it’s sexist to report that men commit 90% of all rape and sexual assault?
So if I am being an asshole, I should make the "logical" jump that all single women are whores and sluts because majority of prostitutes are women.
Not all men and not all women. Generalising is never good.
Yes you are being an asshole thanks for noticing. Also wtf are you on about - no where does it say “ALL SINGLE MEN ARE RAPIST.”
You saw yourself in this comic and got defensive - that “whores and sluts” line came naturally to you.
This is the same reaction that I had when I saw the post that says "men are rapists". I got offended.
Ah there you are - this was never about defending men, this was about hating women. Also I’m a man lol
Defending women can involve hating men but not the other way round. Noted
Jeez dude you just don’t get it. There isn’t anything wrong with defending men but this comic doesn’t hate men. You thinking it does is part of the problem. This comic isn’t saying that all single men are rapists - hell we don’t even know if the single man they are showing is a rapist. What we, and women, do know is that men commit almost all SA. It’s a fact. The comic is playing into the fact that they market sex at men by saying “look strange women” and men fuck with it. Saying “look strange men” to women doesn’t typically illicit the same response.
The fact that you are so upset kinda makes me think you might be represented by this comic.
Are you trying to say I am a rapist? I am not sure
I’m trying to point out that if you aren’t a rapist, this comic shouldn’t offend you. It doesn’t criticize men - if it said single men are rapists, then I would be upset too and I’m not single. But it doesn’t. Instead it recognizes that women have good reasons to be scared of men, especially strangers, and so long as you’re not one of those reasons, this has nothing to do with you.
So you are calling me a rapist
Now I’m calling you a troll and I’ll save us both some time with a block. See you in another life!
Seems like you're calling everyone rapists because you're projecting. Ew.
Seek treatment.
Accuse someone of something and then run away. What is this behaviour lol
🙄
when we talk about men being dangerous, it’s not in a "LITERALLY ALL MEN ARE EVIL RAPISTS" way.
it’s in a "treat every gun as if it were loaded" way.
That's the same logic that has rounding up brown people in the US now. Some of them might be working for the cartels, so better treat every gun as if it were loaded.
