Not all men, but always men

Driving home from work tonight to the main news stories on the radio being 1) man tortures adopted baby to death and 2) man arrested after child ends up in crocodile enclosure at zoo.

I am absolutely sick of the daily onslaught of problematic men, monsters, committing outrages. That’s all, no suggestions, just AIBU to be sickened by this constant stream of beasts who live amongst us (Gisele Pelicot’s husband, recent terrorist attacks, daily murders of women by men) combined with personal experiences of men who ‘you wouldn’t have thought it to look at him’ turning out to be sex pests and paedophiles is putting me right off them as a sex class. Not your man, not your son, not my (lovely) Dad, but all the other men… how do we know which ones?

Its hard not to conclude it’s a man problem.

But that is not what this thread is about. Its not a competition who is worse. I hate it when people defend these types of men we are talking about by totally dismissing it and stating that women are worse! 🤔

Women rarely kill for sexual pleasure or opportunistically. It’s usually mental illness or deep coercion like Constance Martin. And no one is ‘absolving’ them. They are just saying it’s statistically insignificant compared the harm that men as a sex class do. Why are you so defensive about this?

I'm surprised, by the sort of things CM said during the trial, that she isn't considered mentally ill.
