    Your daily lemmy experience. Better make sure the only facts you quote are “oild rigs are weather machines”, “twitter is now worth 25% of what musk paid for it”.

    Don’t you dare quoting facts like “Trump has only half of the popular vote”. You’ll be chased and, maybe, banned.











  • There’s a comedian who told a story, that I feel almost every guy can tell as if it was theirs

    They had that friend in their friends group. You know, the kne always making misogynic jokes etc. Well, yeah, that guy eventually raped someone.

    You know where he says it was his, the comedian’s, fault? The whole group always laughed at those jokes, or maybe didn’t laugh, but definitely didn’t dismiss them, didn’t lecture the guy, didn’t tell him it was not ok.

    There’s this men’s club where misogyny is an accepted business as usual. And it enables deranged individuals.

    So, as a man who’s aware of the statistics, you can start doing some prevention: shame other men for misogyny.

    Oh, and btw, fuck the lady with sign. She’s a petty sexist using someone’s tragedy to support her hate for men.


  • And so, what’s the course of action? To give all men some sterilization treatment?

    How does this help with anything?

    And, I promise you, the real numbers are probably scarily equal, just like with domestic abuse. Because men are definitely taught to never come forward with those.

    But even if the true ratio was 1:50, what’s the solution? Let’s write the law that when it’s a man, he gets a double prison sentence. Or maybe the police shouldn’t believe men who say they were assaulted, but vise-versa barely check, cuz for sure it’s true?

    Criminal statistics should in no way enforce the course of justice or legislation. They could only maybe influence where money is allocated in prevention campaigns. At best.
