how the fuck is attacking men punching "up"? Are men a monolith in your world?

[–] parody@lemmings.world 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

We’re not a monolith but I am aware of some facts about us, like we’re statistically more likely to have shorter hair and take more dangerous jobs and commit violence—none of which offend me although the third one is incredibly disappointing.

I believe I can see where you’re coming from. That said I would be interested in reading a bit more about your perspective on why this meme attacks men. Thank ya

Lets take the worst black man in the world, and then apply his actions to the whole... Lets take the worst woman in the world, and then apply her actions to the whole... Lets take the worst... You get the idea. The lack of nuance in arguments is why a lot women think that men are all totally safe walking home at night. Worse, they think they are at great danger walking home at night, when the statistics say that they are in FAR more danger when they get home. And thats with underreporting of violence in the home.

I mean, men are also victims 81% of the time according to the UNODC. We get 100% of the blame for the crimes, but 0% of the outcry for being the victims of that crime. And everyone seems real fucking comfortable being bigoted as fuck when it comes to men. And the actual number is 91% of violent crimes is done by men, but the % of men that are violent criminals is between 0.3 and 0.6%. So 100% of men globally endure hate and bigotry because of the actions of less than 1% of the total. Does that sound like "punching up" to you?

Hush you. Men are supposed to just take it. Women and children first.

No emotional support for men. Keep the demands on them. Keep berating them for striving to meet those demands. Keep taking away their ability to support a family. Keep demanding them to. Keep judging men with the hasty generalisation fallacy, ignoring the statistical outliers. Keep men dying younger. Keep saying "patriarchy" like all men are all advantaged rulers. ;-}

Replace "men" with just about any protected class, and this statistic with another one that reflezcts comparably on that group.

Yes! Black people are far more likely to go to prison in the US! We white people need to work on that!

[–] Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, (as I recall) that bigoted bias in USA gets even more damning when looking at the victim's demographics instead.

The Karens cry loudest, like they're the only victims, or like they're magnanimously mending the situation for everybody, when they're already the 1%ers of victim pride.
