it’s friday and I’m still recovering from last saturday’s encounter with a guy who was trying to lecture me about feminism lol and saying bullshit such as:
“I don’t believe EVERY girl you know got harassed on the streets at least once.. even the unattractive ones? nah”
“I feel a lot more threatened than women, being a man. our lives are a lot more dangerous”
“if feminists are for gender equality they should create centers with free treatments not only for women but for men too” uhm excuse you if there is a need for gender equality it means that this equality is still not there so of course you need to recover starting from the disadvantaged pole but also if you’d like to build a center for men just do it but I’ll tell you what: apparently there is no need for them, that’s why you don’t have them
“rape culture is bullshit. I know about research that show that men receive harassment from women the same amount as women do from men, if not even more. and women get A LOT of support of they talk about it, while men don’t.”
“I think Asia Argento and the other celebrities like her were just seeking attention because you cannot speak about something that happened 20 years ago, you don’t have any proof, you just ruined a man’s life. she just wanted notoriety” uhm if you’re Dario Argento’s daughter there’s no need for “more notoriety” lol and also wow that is so great to have attention from people insulting you and saying you’re telling lies about being sexually harassed!! wow
also he was repeating stuff like “Asia Argento and the other women celebrities like her received a lot of support trust me, I’m the only one that thinks they lied and they just wanted notoriety” and I was so nervous I just told him “oh trust me, sadly you really aren’t the only one. you’re no special snowflake”
there was actually more but I think this is enough for you to get what I mean when I say that this conversation made me sick and depressed. I don’t even know why I tried so hard to talk to him even though his brain closed every communication channel with me and was just saying the same bullshit in repeat
