not in a sort of homologous (if that's the word?) way to misogyny anyway - society just isn't that evolved yet

Why don't you try some UK stats, rather than some article from the US?

And a rubbish article that you've misunderstood....

0/10 for comprehension

Haven't you got revision to do or something?

whining about Western rape culture,

Nice. I'm sure the one in four women who are raped thank you for your concern.

ThymeLord · 09/06/2017 12:10

I wish that it wouldn't

Yet here you are in FWR putting all us whining feminists in our place! How bizarre.

AssassinatedBeauty · 09/06/2017 12:08

Xeno didn't say you were a liberal, she said it was a typical neo-liberal viewpoint, which is not the same thing.

Xenophile · 09/06/2017 12:04

I'm sorry you don't know what a neo-lib is, and I am pretty sure I can guess what your "support" entails.

Anyway, we won't keep you, you've definitely put us all in our place. Enjoy your day.

Not really that weird though Assassinated, just typically neo-liberal identity politics. If it doesn't affect them, it's not happening.

ThymeLord · 09/06/2017 10:50

I see. I think feminism will survive without you to be honest. Lovely use of the word 'whining' by the way.

AssassinatedBeauty · 09/06/2017 10:41

Riiight, so you're not interested in fighting for women and girls globally because you don't like what you think some Western feminists focus on. Seems an odd attitude to me.

That's great that you personally don't feel oppressed as a girl. Unfortunately, countless thousands of WAGs are oppressed throughout the world on a daily basis, due to their sex.

Xenophile · 09/06/2017 09:16

Not offended at all.

Hope the cookies are tasty though.

user, I hope you're getting appropriate help and support for what happened to you. Being scared of/disgusted by/distrusting women because one women hurt you is not the same thing as hating all women just for being women though.

lieka · 08/06/2017 16:14

Two men abused me when I was a child but I'm not "anti-all-men" @user1496933219 so no, hating women is not justifiable.

Datun · 08/06/2017 16:06

The only answer to that user1496933219 is not all women are like that, I'm afraid.

But I'm very sorry for your experience.

user1496933219 · 08/06/2017 15:59

I am a man and I freely admit to being a misogynist because I was sexually molested by a woman as a child. I would never harm a woman, but I'll never let another touch me for as long as I draw breath. The thought of one of them being close to me fills me with disgust.

Datun · 06/06/2017 08:08

Someone googled misandry and the only thing they came across was a five-year-old thread on mumsnet.

kua · 06/06/2017 07:35

Zombie thread. You must be very bored daddy8997

Xenophile · 05/06/2017 22:56

No one hates, men, you pathetic human.

Daddy89997 · 05/06/2017 20:36

Misandry = hatred of men. If there is just one person who hates men, misandry is real.

FrothyDragon · 07/02/2013 19:33

Nope, most people with mental health issues can refrain from shooting people.

You know what the majority of perpetrators of gun violence have in common? It's not their "mental health problems", it's their sex. Otherwise, women wouldn't be 83 times more likely to be a victim of gun violence than a perpetrator of gun violence.

And you know what? This male dominance in gun violence isn't down to biology, or "boys will be boys" syndrome. It's down to our cult of masculinity. Guess what. This bloody cult has men killing. Regularly. But hey. Let's still try to blame women and those with mental health issues.

OneMoreChap · 03/02/2013 13:01

Men commit almost 100% of the gun violence in the US.

Indeed.

And sticking bullets in people is not a satirical action, I think we can agree.

As FB suggests, it's only fun until someone's eye get put out or something then it's not fun [satire]. Then it is a mental health problem.
