    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Why Brazil WHY

    "Men are making women dead, raped, enslaved." Yes, because stats show that hurting women is against the norm for men. We are the victims of violence much less often than men are. Almost as tho it is violent criminals and not 'men' who are the problem.https://twitter.com/DeepEcologyAU/status/992211677419421696 …

    I'd like you to show me where I collectively blame men. You acknowledge the stats, but refuse to acknowledge that there may be something about men that is the problem?

        You're being dishonest plucking the quote out of context. And in a quote tweet no less. In the context of the rest of the tweet it was within, I am calling out your false balance/equivalence/centre.

        That is what you said. Feminists make men have feels, men kill, rape, enslave women. You narrowed down women to 'feminists' but did not narrow down men to 'violent criminals.' I don't claim verbal misandry is equivalent to murder etc. It's equivalent to verbal misogyny.

        But most men are not violent criminals. These are the stats I am acknowledging.

        It is estimated that 40% of UK domestic abuse victims are men. A piece of Swedish research uncovered that over 60% of violent crime was committed by 1% of the population.

        Replying to @DaveJohnT @HPluckrose

        So, 60% of violent crime is committed by 1% of the population but is regularly blamed on 49%, all men, despite these men predominantly being the *victims* of this violent 1%.

        Yep. In fact, any objective reading of the stats tells us that men as a demographic do not have a tendency to be violent but, in fact, the opposite - so much so that they have to be intensively trained (eg by our military) to be prepared to commit violence.

        Replying to @DaveJohnT @HPluckrose

        Exactly. Men, in terms of their default mode, are actually protective. However, you can manipulate and corrupt that posture into violence, given the right upbringing, training, or conditioning.

        I was raped by a gay, black man. He didn't rape me because he was gay, because he was black or because he was a man. He did it because he was a bad human being. I'm not going to hold a grudge against 3 different groups because of the actions of one or even a few members.

        This is the universal struggle, "How do we identify the bad people?" Foreigners, witches, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, black people, white people, men, etc. People desperately want a simple rule of thumb to know who can be trusted and who can't. I'd like that too, but...
