Comment on The one drawback to walking at night
_lunar@lemmy.ml 12 hours agoBy choosing to ignore that men are the primary offenders of violence not just against women but in general, only viewing it as an individual failings, we won’t be able to make any progress toward remedying the actual problem at hand. Men are socialized under patriarchy, it gives many of them (not all of them and I’m tired of having to say this) a poor sense of emotional regulation and an even poorer view of women as equal human beings who are deserving of fair treatment. You’re the one who doesn’t want to understand, and your point of view services the unjust status quo that thinks that crime should be addressed after it’s committed rather than addressing the social conditions of the source.

By alienating men and refusing to listen to them they have been driven to the right. It’s so easy to empathise with the issues facing men because they are the issues facing everyone. Your misplaced blame to men is akin to the typical right wing bigots misplaced blame to transgender people and minorities. They will use statistics to back up the claims they make and you will see through their attempts but then do the same thing to men and be unable to see the contradiction. I’m sorry that you can’t, and never will, see further than your own narrow experience. I am pessimistic because of people like you. You are the indoctrinated right winger, a parallel track that insists it runs in a different direction.

Men are being driven to the right because of propagandists like you parroting MRA and incel rhetoric that is designed to appear empathetic toward men’s issues (which are often everyone’s issues under the current status quo being presented as men-only issues) while steering them away from understanding the roots of (patriarchy) and solutions to (feminism) the problem.
If right wingers used statistics they wouldn’t come to the conclusions they do because reality has a left wing bias and statistics don’t back up their claims.

I don’t even know what those acronyms mean. Is it so hard to believe people you are alienating are finding community elsewhere. Is this conspiracy of yours really worth it.

You don’t think this kind of rhetoric comes from a source? You’ve never heard of Ben Shaprio, Andrew Tate, and all the other misogynistic influencers taking the world by storm and promoting the anti-feminist views you and countless others are mindlessly repeating in this thread here? Even if you haven’t, I guarantee you’ve picked up some of this shit from someone who has. There’s no conspiracy, it’s just a matter of how disinformation spreads.
