    This is the worst discourse strategy. Makes it incredibly easy to shrug of feminist arguments.

    This is not radical or helpful as in changing discourse and help make the world a better place. It just helps to feel very radical. Those are two entirely different goals and the left is self marginalizing and generally loosing a lot because we mix them up too often.

    Also you should not censor this critique, so please don’t

    Is there even a remotely comfortable place for people to even talk about subjects like this without it devolving into “not all X” arguments and completely missing the point? I basically can’t talk about any of my day to day experiences with sexism without fearing the majority of lemmy users. I shouldn’t be fucking afraid dammit.

    There’s a graffiti on an abandoned building nearby, about 8 stories tall, that just says “STOP MEN.”

    Strangely, neither myself nor any of the men I regularly hang with have been offended by this or felt targeted. It’s almost like random graffiti can’t hurt you.

    Amazing how either, so many people are missing the point, or pretending to so they can strawman the argument.

    Literally all this graffiti says is that men who catcall can’t do that any more if they’re dead.

    The point being, either stop catcalling on your own or people who have to experience that shit would love to stop you instead. It’s not about all men, just the ones who catcall, so either you feel called out, you’re missing the point or you’re pretending to.

    Which is it?

      Ever heard of the concept of collateral?

      Or let’s take it a step further, neurodivergents who are already suffering from constant anxiety and false guilt that they feel like collateral, even if it’s baseless.

      Honey, stop. Men aren’t people, theyre huge bundles of irrational outrage looking for an outlet. They literally can’t hear what youre saying.

    What to do if there is a man bleeding on your lawn?

    Reload and shoot him again.
