Tell other men to stop defending rapists

Tell other men to stop raping in all its forms

Tell OP to stop whining about being asked to check his privilege

Let’s take note of the little details on this, that speak volumes. It’s not “I’m afraid I would be a bad person.”, which would imply a basic, tiny modicum of remorse or introspection.

He’s afraid of the label. Even if that’s not what he consciously intended to write, it’s what he unconsciously means.

His concern lies solely with his public image, his reputation, his ego.

And this is why we don’t trust men. Especially the self-proclaimed “good” ones.

A lot of people think rapists are just horny.

No.

Rapists are sadistic. They enjoy the terrorism of their act, the violation, the damage inflicted, the control and the power. But most of all, the damage. It’s the ultimate masturbation of the psychotic narcissist; it stimulates and climaxes their stroke their most treasured organ of all.

how does "women can rape too" become rhetorically equivalent to men actually being 99% of rapists? women could rape, but we don't. that's the entire problem with men. no one is forcing them to rape women or children, they are choosing to rape. it proves women are better people because we could rape and abuse children at the rates men do and yet women as a class choose not to.

why can't men as a class do the same?

very much follows the notion that women's language is violence, used to justify male violence against women. in this case, it's women's non-existent potential for violence that justifies male violence.

people now honestly think "oh she could have slapped him, she could have said some mean words, therefore him murdering her is justified." whether she actually hit him or said mean words is irrelevant.

So…how do you torture a woman? Well, you can tie her up on the rack and rip her bones apart from the sockets. That’s one way. Or you can tear apart her mind and her body. Now, there’s two ways to do this: You can pry her body away from her mind, or you can pry her mind away from her body. Either way, it works out to the same thing – you stop the woman. She can think but not act, or she can act but not think. To pry her body away from her mind, you need to physically humiliate her. Of course, rape is the most traditional method, but it’s not the only one, by any means. You can ridicule her body, or make fun of the things she does. You can make her self-conscious about her looks. You can make her strap her breasts in. You can make her embarrassed about her periods. You can make her frightened of puberty, frightened of sex, frightened of aging, frightened of eating. You can terrorize her with her own body, and then she will torture herself.

My sincere belief is that allowing men to 1. hold power, and 2. maintain significant numbers is an active disservice to all women.

not to mention how many of them are just recruiting for onlyfans and grooming/trafficking girls into the sex industry

we need to be able to talk honestly about that

Misogyny is the one thing that unites men all over the world, an activity every man, no matter his race or class or sexuality or physical/mental ability, can partake in. Men are not oppressed on the basis of being men. Being part of a minority does not cancel out a man's ability to cause harm. Being a white straight rich woman also does not mean that woman is free from misogyny. A white straight rich man is safe and admired, while a white straight rich woman is still seen as property and a lying bitch and someone with too much privilege, someone who doesn't deserve her status. Men of any kind will group together to belittle this woman, and then they will go home and beat their wives or mothers or sisters or daughters because these men do not face any consequences for their behaviour.
