- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 4 weeks ago:
You are being disingenuous again. Because you keep piling up new things and also because:
You, in particular, are not being called a murderer, because the OP clearly says “men” and not “all men.”.
If that were the case, why did you find fault at the assumed statement of “women lie about rape”? I didn’t say “all”. If you believed what you just wrote to be true, you wouldn’t have brought this up. The OP was a blanket statement that included me. For nothing other than having a penis. Also, don’t forget that one comment that implied this to me directly.
You are however contributing to the problem by being dismissive and making a discussion about women’s safety about you
Yeah, no. Learn how to make a discussion without accusations, like the accusation that was done in the OP, and then you can argue that. I realize you didn’t make the initial accusation, but you are defending it, and are also trying to make it into a “woman experience” which should somehow make it above reproach. That’s low.
which is why women should be afraid of you since you are clearly self-serving and have no empathy for and understanding of their plight.
Defending myself being called a murderer is self-serving and makes me without empathy and women should be afraid of me. What?
Please explain to me how women talking about violence from men affects you personally.
Oh, depends. If a friend asks for help in a current situation I can lend a helping hand. If a friend experienced something like this I can lend an ear and a shoulder. On the internet I can at least listen. And I do.
In this case someone was accusing me of being a murderer for having a penis, and you keep telling me that that’s not what’s happening. If you want to be listened to by me you need to tone down the accusations. To zero. Except if I did something, then I will take the blame. But I didn’t, so I won’t.
I can tell you how exaggerating your claim is harmful toward women, since because of the disproportionate violence and sexual abuse they face from men, they often find themselves having to speak on their experiences, and often aren’t believed thanks to unfounded biases like yours.
Then don’t exaggerate it. What does that have to do with me? Also, you are cultivating a bias in me right now, not unfounded. It does only include you, in case that makes you feel better.
The difference is that your claim is grossly exaggerated to appear equal to the OP’s claim, which actually has statistic validity
It is not, because the OP has none. Even though men murder women more often than women murder women (which is a statistical truth), this isn’t what was stated in the OP. “Men love to commit murder” was the OP. There is no fact stated. Definitely not a statistically backed one.
The OP’s only mistake is specifying murder, which isn’t the only threat of violence at the hands of men a woman would potentially (and has a good chance of having to) face walking alone at night, but anyone who isn’t 12 should be able to understand the use of hyperbole in a motherfucking shitpost.
The OP made many mistakes which qualified it as a proper shitpost. I am not condemning that, I just don’t like it, as stated. I am condemning you.
The intention is clear. it is not safe for women because of violence from men.
That is the intended feeling, yes. Incredibly bad delivery, a shitpost even, but yeah that’s it. Feel free to feel, I guess.
Put the statistics into the relevant parts of your comment next time. I won’t build your argument for you.
This will be my last reply in this particular thread. I guess anyone reading won’t be reading the essays we wrote, and I’m feeling you are arguing in bad faith here. Have a nice day.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 4 weeks ago:
Your assumption is yours to make, I was being deliberately ambiguous. My point was “men like murdering” sounds like a fact, but isn’t. Just as “women lie” sounds like a fact, but isn’t.
the difference is your generalization isn’t based in statistical fact.
The OP isn’t, either. There is no difference. Both are damaging overgeneralizations. Even though more women (because its easier) do lie (again, ambiguous. Can be about how their food tasted) way more often than men do murder, both are damaging overgeneralizations. One more than the other.
Also:
it’s statistically common enough
You are referencing statistics. For the second time. Provide them.
you are harming women by doing this.
No, you just feel like that. Me arguing that I don’t want to be called a murderer because of my penis is not a downplay of rape. You did that part all on your own.
it does not harm men to point out what a significant enough amount of them to be dangerous to women at large are doing.
That’s a lie. Also, how does that fit in with me harming women by pointing something out? We are talking about the sentence “men like murder”, which is rightfully being under fire. You could say this is a shitpost, but your comment is not.
you are not personally affected by women saying that men are violent or murderers
Lie. Here you also try to justify the post as the truth. Just for future reference.
but women are personally affected by your exaggerated claims of dishonesty
How? And how am I not affected by you denying my experience?
violence that they are statistically far more likely to experience.
Are you talking about rape or murder? If you talk about murder, like the OP, that’s again a lie.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 4 weeks ago:
I get that. I found myself on the side of vegans after a post mocked them for being a vegan while the nature they’re protecting is not, and comments then clowning on the vegans that showed up. “How do you know they’re vegan? They’ll tell you.” Kind of stuff. I’m not vegan but I really don’t like this kind of baiting.
My comments were way better received then.
I like what you wrote in the other comment, btw.
- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 4 weeks ago:
You are not alone in feeling that. Everyone being angry about this in here probably feels the same. And it’s incredibly ingenuine to on one hand say this post communicates feelings about fear of going outside and/or men, while simultaneously dismissing feelings of anger at being called a murderer.
My own comment being dismissive of this post (because it’s a shitpost, that’s the literal community here) was deleted.
Another one where I say “women lie” is being downvoted and it was (softly) implied I’m a murderer for saying this (The comment says “You are the man we are afraid of”, context is “men like to murder” as of the OP). The reply and votes to the “women lie” one means people do in fact notice that an overgeneralization hurts. They just don’t care if it hurts men. Presumably because “men are murderers” and are thus not allowed a voice besides belittling themselves.
It’s just sad.
- Comment on Misogyny identified as breeding ground for extremism in UK, says leaked report 4 weeks ago:
I was going to make fun of the UK for first identifying misogyny as extremism and then crying about misogyny being extremism, but this paints a very bad picture. This says the UK has a multi culture problem. This also says to give the police more funding.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
Sorry for your loss.
Yes, I think of emotional talk as “showing weakness”, because people around me gladly lash out at the exposed surface. Men and women do that, but it hurts more from women. They seem to be better at dealing emotional damage, or I’m just more receptive when it comes from them.
Also, talk about feelings needs to be handled, and can be handled very poorly. It also can seem demanding. “When I have my plate full of my own stuff I don’t want to deal with yours”, or similar mindsets when the tools to properly handle such a situation were just never acquired.
On the other hand talk about sportsball is a way to entertain oneself while giving the lizardbrain time to adapt to the people around it.

That is not a feature of proprietary software. That is a feature of an organisation. It only makes sense to make software for a profit in an organisation, so that’s why there’s so many of those. FOSS also has a lot of organisations, which are also pretty often used btw, but they are not required.
Not having to rely on an approval by any entity is a big thing for people fucking around with stuff. And fucking around with stuff makes one good at that stuff.

I think the idea was that you can’t hoard anything, and stealing or reusing is harder. But it does make the central management way more powerful than it should be. But it’s normal bank standard.
What do you mean with “dystopian statist money”?

Yeah, I think so too. It should replace bank transactions completely.
