THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE SKETCHY

I don't post here often enough

@prussia-strage-saffron it’s exposing your bigotry.

Any acceptable reason to treat men this way is an acceptable reason to treat black people this way.

Statistics? Black people disproportionately lead in violent crimes by race. Murder, armed robbery, rape, etc. Despite being 13% of the population, they compete with white people for the lead in violent crimes committed. So just like an individual man is more likely to commit a violent crime, so is an individual black person.

How about anecdotal evidence? “Well a man attacked me when i was young so i have an excuse to fear men”. You think there arent people who have been victimized by black people? I know small business owners and fast food workers who have been robbed repeatedly at gunpoint by almost exclusively black robbers. People who were victims of assaults on the street by black perpetrators. People who were victims of drive-by shootings by black gangs. They have just as much right to generalize black people as dangerous.

“But what about the concequences of negative generalizations? Men dont have to deal with that!”

Men receive an average of 63% higher sentencing compared to women for the same crime and similar criminal history. Men are much more likely to be falsely arrested, much more likely to to be falsely imprisoned, much more likely to get the death penalty, much more likely to face police brutality, much more likely to have the police called on them for nothing, men have literal crime definitions that specify that men must be punished harsher than women or that entire crimes can only be committed by men, and much more likely to have people assume the worst of them due to their sex compared to women. Even parole is harder for men, since it is based on a point system and you get points for being female (but not for being male). Men do suffer consequences for your negative generalizations.

I was taught to be afraid of and hate working class men because “they’re all predators who want to jump little girls from good families.” It caused me to be classist as a child. Once I went to college, and was for the first time in my life put in an environment where majority of the people around me were working class, I was given the bitch slap of reality I sorely needed. Now I am horrified that such things were taught to me and it was considered acceptable because they were men.
