I just think it's possible to discuss male victimization in a feminist manner - for example, the idea that men can't be hurt by women because women are small and weak is very patriarchal, as is the fact that both men and women struggle to report because of how being abused is seen as a moral and physical failing. It doesn't have to be a conversation about who 'deserves' limited resources because we can all be on the same side of survivors deserving protection from abusers.

The narrative of it simply as a gender dynanic also ignores intersectionality, tbh.

The biggest issue is the use of data from countries that systematically do not charge women with DA, as they are considered to inherently the victim (if they abuse, a man made them do it). This is a system called the 'duluth model' and was the creation of academic feminists in the 80s.

Unless you want to blame the actions of feminist groups on the patriarchy, of course.

No I'm saying by framing women as exclusively victims those feminist groups were ironically still being really misogynistic. I'd like to read up about the issue sometimes since i know DA is dramatically under-reported anyway, so I can't imagine it's easy to figure out what the ratio actually is, esp with the base idea (abusers are male) being so pervasive.

You're assuming they actually believe women can't be violent, rather than callously attempting to manipulate statistics. I have exactly zero faith in any female led group to make a good faith attempt to correct this situation they created.

If you want my advice the smart thing to do at this point is to leave the thread alone for like, a month or something, and hoping that no one's gonna remember you posted something this insanely weird when you come back.

Or you could die on this hill, of course, if you want to entertain us.

Any effort to draw attention to male victimization is feminist, except the zero-sum kind that does so by minimizing female victims.

You don't have to 8e a good person to 8e a hero.
This derail has the whole air of the new TERF commandment that "women can't legally commit rape* so there are no female rapists", which sits in between "women getting naked in communal changing rooms don't make people uncomfortable" and "women regularly wash their period panties in public bathrooms".

(Yes, these are all things TERFs have been parroting recently.)

*Rape in English law requires a penis; there's a parallel crime of sexual assault that carries the same sentence. Still, I can't imagine any of the TERF lot going to bat for the legal principle of "marriage is implied consent to sex" that survived as a defence in this country until 1991.

Umm... since Piss Meridian went in that direction, I'm just going to point out that the biggest groups pushing this 'no one cares about women abusers!' are MRA and MRA-adjacent groups. It's literally a bad faith effort to undermine feminist action against systemic violence against women by creating a false equivalence of violence against men that you never hear about because it's hushed up by the largely male-dominated legal system who are nevertheless in thrall to women.

That's not every person who feels like the existing laws and advocacy around domestic and sexual violence are underserving male victims. It's just a particular campaign that pops up every time the subject hits the news, which usually can be readily identified by their complete lack of solidarity or connection to other relevant social justice efforts.

Saying that he 'interpeted what you said as minimizing' implies that he paid attention to it at all.

He's an rear end in a top hat deliberately-bad-faith arguer that's not worth paying attention to in any thread he turns up in, because he always pulls stuff adjacent to this.

It should be noted that despite proclaiming that they want equality, MRA-types are notoriously allergic to anything that legitimizes feminist schema like you did PetraCore. Just a coincidence, I'm sure.

Look, nobody I know personally has died or been infected to my knowledge, and my really poor understanding of statistics and viral pathology, and my absolute refusal to listen to those that do know those things, leads me to the only logical conclusion of it not being real. Not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. Please stop yelling at me and trying to correct me, I'm only trying to get people to think. If you don't like, don't comment
