    Criminals! You could say all violent crime is committed by humans. Or you can narrow in and say most of it is committed by men. Narrow again & say all of it is committed by violent criminals (who are a tiny minority of mostly men.) Why stop at the 2nd stage if you want to fix it?https://twitter.com/simple81/status/1050229221447094272 …

    But the vast majority IS COMMITTED BY MEN! How can you not relate the two things? Again you're missing the point. It isn't all of them! But who else can we take the issue up with? Also, the men who aren't the creeps being refered to, need not be concerned!

        Ok now were getting somewhere....do you really think the message that women are "done taking this shit" is meant for anyone but the people doing the "shit"? I don't read them and think they are talking about my dad, or 90% of the other men I know. I assume the rapists are target.

        I was addressing this tweet. According to your reasoning, we assign responsibility to a group and this justifies not seeing the fact that men are the greater victims of violent criminals than women because both are men.https://twitter.com/simple81/status/1050226311384453120 …

        89% of the perpetrators of violent assault are Male. So saying they're more likely to be violently assaulted does not negate their responsibility. They obviously need to be better to eachother as well! (Not all men obviously!)

        “Why stop at the 2nd stage if you want to fix it?” That’s an interesting assumption you make there Helen.

        Huh? She is stopping at men and not narrowing down to criminals. You can only fix the problem by addressing criminals, not by addressing men.

        I mean the part where you assume she wants to fix anything. People like that usually don’t - in fact, since fixing it would make their cause célèbre vanish, that’s the last thing they want to do.

        This is a No True Christian argument though. We can’t “take it up with criminals” because by definition the criminal labels doesn’t get affixed until AFTER they do crimes. “Hey could you not do the rape you just did?”

        It also has a discriminating effect on women. So, if you just make the assumption that criminality is a thing men do; when a woman commits a crime, we're more shocked because it breaks the narrative & there's plenty of evidence to say women receive harsher sentences as a result,

        Nope, you're right. Just looked it up. I remembered from years ago there was evidence to suggest women get longer sentences for heinous, violent crimes; but it looks like, overall, men do get harsher sentences.

        I've been a man all my life. The thought of harming women repulses me. I'd rather die that do that. So would most men. The idea that we can learn something from outliers is not helpful, and comes from a place of reactive fear, not a reasoned desire to fix the problem.

        Well historically, that is what men have done. Die on behalf of women and children. For their freedoms, liberty and protection. But you'll very likely not hear that mentioned too often.....

        Of course not. Until I'm proven wrong, this narrative is coming from a small minority of people with very bad intentions convincing a larger group of people, who are scared of men, that they have a right to be afraid, rather than getting stronger and mastering their phobia.

        Yep, the more #feminists frighten young western women (the most privileged in the world) into thinking they are victims, the more they increase their power base. I wish those same young women could open their eyes and see how they are being used as pawns for pure political gain.

        Which makes it extremely important in how we respond. A lot of them are acting out of fear, and simply calling them crazy is like telling them to shut up when they think there's a killer in the closet. It's not the approach that will be listened to.
