Why you should never say âAll men are...â
When third wave/radical feminists say âall men are assholes/rapists/etc.), letâs take a look at the facts. Â There are 3.41 billion males in the world. While majority of women fall victims to the hands of males, there are just as many females guilty of being abusers. Here are a couple of statistics before you start attacking me.
- 40% of domestic violence victims were men (2004-2005, 2008,2009)
43.4% of men were abused by their partners in 2006-2007. This rose to 45.5% in the following year, but dropped to 37.7% in 2008.
In 2006-07, 48.6% of men were subject to severe force during conflict with a partner.
Men are less likely to report abuse or rape because 90% of the time, they are not taken seriously. Second of all, do you know how much pressure they go through because men are EXPECTED to be strong and âmanlyâ, so theyâre expected to deal with rape or abuse?
Out of 3.41 billion males in the world, you think ALL of them are rapists and abusive? You think every single man in the world is capable of violence and danger? What about that husband who influences his wife to work so they can both be successful? What about that father who works long hours so his daughters have the privilege of being educated in the top universities in the country? What about that brother who is willing to protect his mother and sister from danger?
You all say âAll men are thisâŚâ, do you have little brothers? Little male relatives? Do you categorize them in the same stereotype too? Do you look at him and go, âyouâre gonna grow up to be a rapistâ?
When you were born, did you realize that youâre 50% your father and 50% your mother? Had it not been for your fatherâs sperm, you would not have been here. Donât give me BS that youâd be conceived in other ways, no you wouldnât. If it wasnât for your mother AND father, you wouldnât be here. You wouldnât have been here.
I am aware, not everyone of us had the privilege of having good men in our lives, and Iâm sorry that I cannot relate to abuse or rape victims. Majority of the men in my life made sure the women in their lives were independent, strong, stable, and not reliant on the men of the family. My father raised me by saying, âyou donât need a man in your life. You donât have to please any men in your life.â Thatâs the motto I follow to this day. I donât need men.
You all have tor realize that not all men are the same. You all saying all men are the same is EQUIVALENT to this:
â20/100 women raped or abused their partners, SO ALL WOMEN ARE EVIL AND BAD!!â
Lastly, If men canât have a say in womenâs rights, than women shouldnât have a say in menâs rights.
Iâm ready for yâall to fight me.
