This happened to me irl. They ask me to mess a bit with tarot cards and as they’re leaving they tell me “You’d go think about stuff before go you out dating. All men are predators”. When I ask them that sounds incredibly prejudiced they just respond with “It’s in the studies”. I was perfectly fine when feminism meant egalitarianism but thats is oughtright stupid vitriol that’s gonna help noone.

    Ah yes the anti anti sexist in the wild. Look how it twists the words and jumps to bizarre conclusions.

    Set yourself free and just admit you have a problem with women instead of just some women you want to pretend to disagree with.

    It’s enough men to constantly have your guard up around them. That by no means all and everyone who says that is grossly misrepresenting men, but it’s enough men to feel unsafe.

    Ah, the old classic of deliberately misrepresenting feminist assertions in the most extreme words possible, to stoke up manufactured indignation towards women rights, and then people acting incredibly dense and disingenuous when it is cleared up for them… I see 2014 is back.

      The deal is that this happened to me irl. They ask me to mess a bit with tarot cards and as they’re leaving they tell me “You’d go think about stuff before go you out dating.

        You may want to include this context in your original post, as without it, it comes across like you are making a blanket statement about the blanket statement.

    In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted.

    Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed. Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts?

    From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 48 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune.

    The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist.

    The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.

    I think young women considering men to be a threat is pretty rational.

      People like you are why dating makes me nervous. I end up scrutinizing actions that haven’t happened and make myself feel guilty for things I can’t control.
