how does expecting a guy to buy you a $200 dinner prevent him from assaulting you?
or are you saying if a guy can only buy you a $20 drink, or doesn't buy you a drink, he's dangerous and awful?
because that shit is not only sexist, it's classist. the assumption that wealthy people are morally better people is patently wrong.
Yeah, if anything, I feel like a guy paying $200 for a meal would expect something in return and might get aggressive.
It really does ring faintly of a "poor people are dangerous" kind of note.
Nah you're missing the point. The problem is that men assault women disproportionately. That's what needs to be called out as sexism, that's what needs addressed, that's what needs to change.
What about women who assault men, are they cool and we don't need to call them out?
I've been raped, groped, and physically assaulted by women a lot more than I have ever been by men. I've never assaulted a woman, but I've met woman who have physically attacked me for not raping them.
from where i stand it's woman on man violence that really needs to be addressed. because it's normalized and male rape victims are mocked and harassed.
it's almost as if shitty people assaulting people isn't a gendered thing. it's a shitty people thing. maybe it's shitty people who need to be called out, not men or women as a whole.
