If we want to talk about responsibility we must stop talking about violence against women in a passive way.
Because one thing is to ask “ how many women are killed by men every year “ and another is to ask “ how many men kill women every year “.
Can you see the difference?
The subject of the sentence is important.
Let’s stop putting the woman asasubject because it leads to phraseslike: “ yes, but she’d been drinking? How was she dressed? “
Begin to put men as the subject “ How did he act? How did he take advantage of her? How did he kill her? “
Disclaimer: this is not the right post to argue with phrases like NOT ALL MEN or WHAT ABOUT WOMEN WHO BEAT MEN? Not because they don’t have sense in general, but because right now we are not talking about that.
Don’t say “15 people were killed in a terrorist attack” instead say “MUSLIM killed 15 people”.
Because going out of your way to highlight the perpetrators identity as oppossed to prioritizing the victim TOTALLY doesn’t show you are primarily concerned with generalizing an entire group of people and spreading bigotry.
Just think about how physically costly it is to grow a child, how much of the woman’s physical body and nutrients and molecules are used to grow her baby. And it no longer is as 50/50 as the egg/sperm model makes it out to look. The only thing shared is an equal amount of both parents genes. I’m just trying to challenge the world view you’ve been taught and consider if everything is as clear cut. I do think male biologists and theologians have obscured just how much the bio father deserves
I could sit here and waste my time talking to you, but from the shit you actually had the audacity to say here it would be a waste of time and I’m tired of dealing with psychopaths on Tumblr (sorry to psychopaths – I just don’t have another word to use yet. Anyone have suggestions?) and that means “people” like you.
Seriously, “children belong to the mother” my fucking ass, especially since mothers abuse their children way more than men do if we wanna play dirty. Pfft. Go watch that Judge Judy video I posted on that post and get the fuck out of my askbox, you perpetual victim, you utterly disgusting sexist.
I want you to go to girls abused by their mothers and victims of f/f csa and say what you just said anon. Go ahead. Do it. I DARE YOU.
Burke says she also wants to shift the focus back to survivors. “At the end of the day, there is a body of work that we’re building to help those people who have their hands raised. And I’m proud of that.”
We have to shift the narrative that it’s a gender war, that it’s anti-male, that it’s men against women, that it’s only for a certain type of person — that it’s for white, cisgender, heterosexual, famous women.
I usually don’t bring up politics like this but I agree with this statement after seeing the way Terry Crews got thrown under the bus and several stories where women committed the assaults were ignored.
Mariah Carey was at an event wearing a Time’s Up pin even though she’s been accused of sexual harassment by both an ex-bodyguard AND her (female) ex-manager
The former claiming she accused him of being a Nazi and hurled homophobic slurs at him because he expressed discomfort with her sexual behavior towards him like intentionally calling him into the room when she was sitting around naked.
It’s funny because this is an edit and the original shows exactly what the people who made and agree with this comic are actually doing.
Actually there are truckloads of evidence that fiction doesn’t affect reality. Most of the evidence that it DOES is shaky at best and fraudulent at worst.
This is the Doom/Mortal Kombat scare all over again. Before that it was DnD and heavy metal.
Gamers are currently promoting the ideal that 90% of people are NPCs but go on
what the fuck are you talking about and why would i give a shit
The NPC thing is a joke
Hey, wanna know some of the “evidence” for video games making people violent?
So they got a bunch of people, mix of gamers and non-gamers, and put them in a box with a multiplayer game and a dial thing that also worked as a button. Any time you killed one of your opponents, you got to push the button, which would play a honk noise in the box of the person you killed, you used the dial to determine how loud you wanted the noise the play. People who regularly played video games would, on average, set the noise louder than those who didn’t and I think made it play for longer (I researched this in high school, don’t ask me for perfect accuracy on it).
That was their “evidence”.
How does making a louder noise correlate to being violent? IDK, ask Jack Thompson, he’s certified sane!
Also like how ysr715 manage to miss (completely accidentally of course) that most of the people saying that “90% of people are NPCs” almost universally include themselves in that demographic, not the 10%.
A person who thinks fiction is reality can’t understand that a 4chan meme is just… well… a meme?
Shocking.
The only people that are influenced by fictional media are those that are highly impressionable and must be lackin common sense and probably should not be consuming said media anyway
How fiction affects reality: Anime made me very interested in Japanese culture enough to make middle school me look for every scrap of Japan related information I could come across and actually learn the language. Eventually at 14 I got selected to a foreign exchange program to Japan.
NOT how fiction affects reality: I watched anime so I think that picking fights, using weapons, and underage romance are okay. In fact, just today, I tried to break into my library’s restricted section because I thought there was a magic book in there uwu.
I’m going to start making up obnoxiously stupid answers every time someone tells me how young I look
“I’m actually a past version of myself, I had to time travel forward and kill the original because he became a juggalo”
“a witch cursed me on my seventeenth birthday and now I can only appear as my true age if someone kisses me, then she gave me this nose to make sure that wouldn’t happen”
“I’m two kids stacked on top of each other, I just wanted to see an R rated movie but things got way out of hand”
“yeah I had to stop a supervillain from flooding the water supply with a
de-aging serum because it would have killed all the babies, so I just…
ate all of it”
“I’m harboring the soul of an egyptian pharaoh who looks exactly like me but like a foot taller and way sexier”
“I was supposed to be a small nerdy sidekick but god forgot to assign me a protagonist to follow around so I’m just doin my thing”
I wanna destroy the culture of “women have to wear makeup to be considered presentable” and replace it with “makeup is a fun accessory that allows u to have horribly fake purple lips and green eyelids if u want yee haw who wants some glitter on their nose” who’s with me on this
Women have to wear makeup to be considered presentable. End of discussion.
i know you probably just wanna make me Mad to get attention and i’m playing into your hands by even RESPONDING but i just
you’re old enough to be my fuckin DAD and you’re running THIS tumblr???? really?????????? this is the smallest dick energy i’ve ever seen
No way I’m fucking you unless you have good eye liner
no comeback i make could possibly be as funny as your entire existence holy shit i’m losing it
“women have to wear makeup to be presentable”
Yeah, tell that to the girls for whom makeup makes them get rashes or break out.
