[quote Ozziewoz]@ghostyslovesheets You are obviously trying to wind people up for kicks. Nobody is arguing the point on statistics. The world is aware that there are more female victims. People are defending the fact that one can't associate all men with being perpetrators or a threat. FULLSTOP. Most abusers, rapists etc had very dysfunctional childhoods, or were abused themselves. It's a fact. This post has become very heavy against men. Nobody is defending the fact that more women are abused. Just the fact that it;s not all men or the majority of men.[/quote]
The world might be aware, but it doesn't give a shit. Nothing is being done.
Men can't not engage in damaging behaviours. It's difficult.
Men can't speak out. It's dangerous.
Men can't modify their behaviour. It's impossible.
The justice system is a joke.
When it comes to rape and now even murder, everything goes. Including "she asked for it". That's if it even goes to trial.
The police ignore , dismiss and minimise reports. Tell victims that nothing can be done. Drag their heels with stalking or harassment. "He hasn't actually done anything yet".
Reporting in the media is abysmal. Perpetrators are always highlighted and the victims forgotten. It's all about the man. Most of the time with a quote about how charming, lovely, wonderful he was. What a great future/past/reputation he has. And what the victim did wrong ...she left him, he moved out, got a new partner, was out, what she was wearing, what she said etc.
Society perpetuates rape myths, and constantly focuses on policing,changing and limiting women's behaviour.
Women and children are seen as acceptable collateral damage. Hundreds and thousands abused,harmed, raped,murdered. Nothing ever changes.
The world might know,but it doesn't give a shit. That's why we're angry.
