All crime docs are about men killing women!

I was trying to find somehing to watch on Netflix last night. Looked at crime documentaries. They're all about men killing women. Or men killing children.

I like a bit of true crime sometimes, but it's actually too much. What the hell have we been putting up with over decades and centuries! There was a guest on Steven Bartletts Diary of a CEO who said the most dangerous person to a woman is her husband! I believe it. We've taken this shit for too long.

Why would any woman be even mildly attracted to any man who does this though? It isn't about seeing if they have a chance at all, it's a power play pure and simple.

Judging by you apparently staring at some poor lad doing his job, yes, you do sound like a pervert. I assume you didn't shout out at him or draw attention to him so others would come and stare? Along with most women on this thread I agree that you do seem to have quite masculine attitudes.

Yes I would say I understand the male mind a lot better than you.

Of course you did 🙄
A pathetic attempt to justify men harassing women by pretending women are desperate to do it too.

I dont class appreciating a good physique as harassment, its natural. I dont want men to think they have to bow their heads and not look at me when I walk past. I certainly cant control what goes on in their brain whether they say it out loud or just think it.

Presumably because you certainly don't appear to understand women.

I can understand what causes some women to think the way they do yes. Dont always agree with it but can understand it.

I was talking about your apparent desire to wolf whistle at this (fictional) man in this scenario you've lifted from some really shit chick lit

You really do live in a dark world! You dont think a woman can find a hot guy in the street? They do exist. Granted a lot of men in Britain are ugly with beer guts.

Do you want more crime docs about female murderers?

On Netflix there's a true crime series about poisoners. Most of them are women

Of course women find men attractive.
What we don't do is write about it in the style of Mills and Boon.

I cant say I've ever read a mills and boon but I guess that wont be surprising

No, men aren't really their target audience.

I'm just a woman who isnt scared of men. I'll be sensible with my safety of course but that's about as far as it goes.

If that's true, and I'm not entirely sure it is as I think you've let your mask slip a few times today, then you certainly don't like women. You prioritise mens feelings over women's safety.

And I guess you should be thankful that a man has never done anything to scare you or that you haven't experienced or witnessed sexual harassment or abuse. Because given that we're of a similar age I would say that's very unusual.

Thinking I'm a man makes me smile. If you could see me 😆

Of course I was forgetting you wouldnt see being sexist against men as a bad thing.

SerenityNowSerenityNow · 17/03/2025 22:21

Except I'm not sexist against men.
Acknowledging the fact we have a problem with male violence and toxic masculinity doesn't make me sexist.

Acknowledging facts is one thing...

And I dont think being a strong independent woman who can see the differences in different types of men makes me a misogynist.

No but the comments you've made about women do. 🤷🏼‍♀️

🤣 you slipped up there assuming that I must have been slagging women off if I'm a woman who is prepared to call out sexism against men.
