[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…]

[next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting]

    all oranges are fruits, therefore I’m justified in assuming any fruit is an orange by default

    How do people not understand how patently ludicrous this line of thinking is?

      Why are men unable to put aside their emotions anyone someone points out that lots and lots of men do fucked up things, and are systematically supported?

      You hear some men, and because you think emotionally, you hear “all men.”

      Rapist in my state almost killed three teenage girls. He got court ordered therapy and community service.

      Tulsa’s DA was just complaining about mandatory minimums for rapists.

      And are we fucking forgetting that for 99% of human history, and still in most of the world, women didn’t get to learn to read? Go to school? Got married off as children?

      Marital rape wasn’t illegal in every US state until 1993.

        Why are men unable to put aside their emotions

        Projection. I did nothing more than simply point out an obvious logical fallacy.

        anyone someone points out that lots and lots of men do fucked up things

        Lots and lots of women do fucked up things, too. If someone reacted to a story about a woman throwing her newborn baby into a dumpster with “geez, what is wrong with women?” you would get, justifiably, offended at the generalization.

        There’s no need for a double standard, one standard will do just fine.

        and are systematically supported?

        Starr (2015) finds that male defendants in U.S. Federal Courts receive 63% longer sentences than females, even after conditioning on observable case characteristics

        That doesn’t look like ‘systematic support’ to me.

        You hear some men, and because you think emotionally, you hear “all men.”

        More projection, especially considering you’ve dived headfirst into “all men” yourself just above.

        Rapist in my state almost killed three teenage girls. He got court ordered therapy and community service.

        Meanwhile, I couldn’t even get charges pressed against my female rapist.

        Your empathy gap is showing.

        I like how first you accuse me of emotionally extrapolating “some men” to “all men”, and then you literally do just that, using individual cases of men doing shitty things as argument against my saying not to generalize men.

        You don’t even realize how blatantly you’re exposing yourself.

        Marital rape wasn’t illegal in every US state until 1993.

        Even though women rape men just as often as men rape women (it just doesn’t seem so because of successful lobbying to have unwanted female on male sexual contact labeled with a term other than “rape” so that it wouldn’t be included in “rape statistics”), it still is effectively legal for women to do so. See how long it takes you to find a woman who was convicted for raping a man.

        A woman can molest a male child, get herself pregnant, wait until he’s of age, and then successfully sue him for back child support. Good luck finding a case of a man legally winning child support from the girl he molested.

        I wonder what Nick Olivas would have to say about that “systematic support” that you claim favors males so heavily.

          Can you give me individual numbers of those incidents versus incidents of violent rape, domestic violence, and statutory rape?

          Yes. Bad people exist everywhere.

          On the whole, the system is set up to help bad men. There is systemic oppression of women. The fact that the US elected a man who went on tape proudly described sexually assaulting women indicates this. The fact that every woman in my immediate line was teenager impregnated by an adult man. The fact every teenage girl is taught to how to put the keys between her knuckles as she walks somewhere late, the way that packs of adolescent boys or “men in a car” have been a signal of instant threat to all women ever.

          I got dog whistled as a teen. I dressed about as strange as I could be I can still go find a Facebook message of relative who confessed things to me. It’s just universal if you grow up female.

          Which gender is in prison for violent crimes? What are the leading causes of deaths for pregnant women?
