    That’s why I asked lol. The conversation around rape has been pretty active this week in the news from multiple stories.

      I thought you were referring to some dude whining about feminism, but it’s actually about rape? I’m with the first guy, I got no clue what you are referring to.

        There’s been a lot of whining from the manosphere about the Cornell rape case that has been in the news a lot the last two weeks.

          I knew about that, but didn’t connect the meme to the Cornell case. The meme has been true for a very long time.

          Ah, there’s my problem. I tuned out of the manosphere long before I’d even heard it referred to as such.

            I’m genuinely happy for you! Protect that peace if you can.

            I remember watching some youtube channels around that time who went hard into it over time and they became progressively more off putting to me until I dropped them.

            Shame, as I know some actually mentioned real problems faced by the working class initially and that is what I was there for. Then more and more of this anti-feminism bullshit starts appearing for some reason and I lost interest.

          Haven’t heard about this until now so this was initially rather confusing. Maybe its a bigger thing in the US.

            Definitely bigger here in the US. There was a congressional candidate who was raped while she was campaigning recently as well that’s hit the news cycle this week, too.

            There’s a lot of rape here.

            No, the rapists have been extensively condemned in popular media and person-to-person conversations here.

              That’s why Jane Doe has been swatted and is receiving death rights, right? Everyone is super supportive of her?

              Yeah.

          I don’t find that true at all.
