Just read
this thread on Christian Forums. It starts out with a stupid premise, claiming if men stuck around, women wouldn't have abortions. Then the conversation mentions legitimate issues concerning men and legal issues regarding support and custody, then seems to completely delve into "feminism evil blarhg!" One makes the comment "as much as I hear that the MRM is a hate group, I only see hate and violence coming from feminists." Really?
Really? Another outright calls feminism toxic. The one who made this comment also once said in a previous thread that rape disproportionately affect women, it actually disproportionately affects
men because "the majority of rapes occur in prison, and most of those are against men, so rape is bigger problem for men than women." When someone tried pointing out that prison statistics aren't grouped with normal statistics because the environment inside of prison is vastly different than outside, he accused them of "trying to trivialize and erase their experience." So I guess his point was women need to shut up about rape culture and how much women get raped, because men are the majority of rape victims . . . as long as they're in an isolated prison environment that's not part of normal society. Oh, and he also once said that women shouldn't get drunk at parties if they don't want to be raped. When someone called him out, he pulled the "I'm
only pointing out common sense, but typical, I'm being labeled a rape apologist" line.
And no, I'm not saying that the prison rapes aren't important. The problem is using them to try and dispel "feminism myths" by implying that from a societal and cultural standpoint, rape is a worse problem for men
only because of the technicality of prison rapes apparently outnumbering non-prison rapes. Again, never mind the fact that prison is an isolated environment that mostly doesn't affect people on the outside.
Sorry if I interpreted that thread wrong. I sometimes skim over posts because I get so pissed I become tense and very uncomfortable, especially if it seems nobody is refuting them. It's just the overall vibe I got, and I needed to let off steam (probably should've just typed this rant then deleted it).
