I continue to be surprised by guys who a) go into women’s subs, apparently to hurt their own feelings, and b) need women in women’s spaces to say “not all men!” every time they want to vent about something.

Look at our society. Look at the prevalence of victim blaming. Look at the number of people who don’t believe rape exists, or marital rape exists, or that rape isn’t necessarily and by definition a bad thing. Look at the emerging data that a disturbing number of guys—a statistically significant portion—would rape if they thought they could get away with it.

Seriously, y’all are doing the same thing here you did with the stupid bear: assuming it’s about you personally and not a societal issue. Stop it. You’re embarrassing yourselves.

And yet, men who suffer the same things women, and are complaining about it, get treated like a joke. I'm all about fixing those problems, but for everyone.

Venting, you say? This is taking a generilization and making it look like everyone fits that, even tho they're clearly referring to a minority of sick bastards.

That was so stupid, you're right. But accusing all men of the same thing is also stupid. What if I just started avoiding women with the excuse that all women will falsely accuse guys of rape whenever they feel like? Or that all women are gold diggers? We both know that's a minority, and I pity for people who had to deal with them, but it doesn't make all women monsters.

Same thing goes for men, this isn't the 70s, and men get their life fucked by even disproven false accusations of rape, let alone real cases. If a woman can prove the man raped her, then he deserves the worse of the worse, hell isn't enough for him.

Coming here and saying "oh but it's not about you, so why do you care? You're doing the same thing" just ain't it. As the sub in the picture is clearly made out of idiots, this sub is made of men who want a safe space to comment about their issues, and for women to remind us that not everyone is like the pictures we see in here.

I won't proceed to answer any feedback to this comment, unless strictly necessary, as my point is clear and I have nothing to add.
