So many evil men...can't stand it

[SplitHeadGirl]

First of all, I know fully well that men will get upset at what I think and am about to say, so I would like to clarify that I am talking about EVIL men, not the good, wonderful dads and granddads and husbands and nice single blokes out there....the ones who I KNOW (my brain, not my gut, tells me so) are in a majority, but who seem to be few (is it their deafening silence?)

But any fool can see that the sheer amount of men, who are prepared to do unspeakable things to women and girls (and boys as well as other men, not to mention the vulnerable and the elderly...wow, the list goes on) is just overwhelming. I read today about Anene Booysen, and I was absolutely heartbroken, but yet not shocked. For men to be so diabolical to women is not shocking anymore, and that is men's greatest tragedy.

I have two little daughters, and a little son, and I fear for them at the hands of men. Not women...just men.

I feel like I am thinking out loud with this post, so no worries if no one feels they can respond. I just wish I didn't feel so helpless at the tsunami of male violence.

yes, I don;t think it's ground-breaking BUT he says so much so eloquently and so quickly.
Put it in Dadsnet too - that'll be a slow burn...

Sigmund is that what you think I should be doing? Banging on the doors of single mothers? Yes you are right again there is a lot of hatred on this thread

I do plenty to try and reverse the tide of male violence. My conscious is clear.

And I didn't know I was sat on here attacking middle class men? Where have I done that?

Rounded human being? Nice little PA there yourself Sigmund.

ignore that pug ^

I'm a bit stunned by Sigmaund's claim that "nice middle class men" aren't violent towards women.

Yep me too, GoshAnn. There seems to be more generalisations in Sigmund's post with absolutely no evidence to back it up than the rest of the thread put together.

SparkleSoiree - very interesting post, thank you.

I like the pug

Gosh, I suppose if they were violent then they wouldn't be 'nice'. They would be 'horrible middle class men'.

What is shocking you?

Plenty of middle class men who seem nice to everyone else, are later exposed as abusers.

...and the part about "underclass women raising their sons like dogs" - lovely bit of classism and women blaming there.

By definition they are not nice greenie

Gosh, there will be some raising their children like dogs. It doesn't mean all. It's like 'men are violent to women'. It doesn't mean all underclass women.

Treen - so why say middle class at all then?

I think sig was talking about the middle class. I suppose a serious issue like this needs to be broken down. I think class is linked to education, education linked to crime, crime linked to violence.

I'm surprised you would think an abuser was nice, greenie

She doesn't think abusers are nice. Read her post again Treen. And stop twisting words.

Sorry, 'seem nice'.

So if it is so serious that you want to break it down, Treen, why not break it down into gender?

Plenty of very well educated men are violent.

Why are you surprised that abusers seem nice?

kim147 I have said repeatedly on this thread steps that could be taken. So have plenty of others.

Most people aren't thieves, but I still lock my doors at night. :-)

Most men aren't rapists, and yet of all the rapists, 99.999% of them are men. It is okay to notice which demographic is doing all the raping.

Sorry kim that was a bit short. It's not you I am annoyed with. I am getting fed up with this thread. I feel like I am being gaslighted.

How do you know most men aren't rapists?
