In today's dose of WTF is wrong with men (NAMALT)

"deepfake"

NAMALT etc but this made me SO ANGRY.

The men quoted in the article have zero care at all what this means for the women.

I KNOW that when my DH friends were younger they would have watched clips like this and laughed over them together.

I would be really keen to hear if anyone has any ideas about why so many men, NAMALT, have so little concern for women?

I have to say that I'm coming around to a way of thinking that lots of men seem to only care about women and girls they personally know and love - which I suppose is why we get all this "it's someone's daughter" stuff - and that women and girls as a sort of global group, mass of people, are a bit 2D and not really worthy of being treated as full people.

I am aware this is strong but this story has made me So Angry.

I can imagine loads of men I know looking up a Kate Middleton "porn" clip for eg just out of interest or for a laugh or for a naughty feeling wank... I know people will come on and say NAMALT but it's a lot of them isn't it.

What I am interested in is WHY so many men see this sort of thing as essentially "harmless"?

Also let's not forget he film this three year old child whilst raping her.

I've been reading the things men say to you whilst doing the deed thread.

Some of those posts are sick too.

This is a news item that has gone viral throughout the world as well.

What signal does that send to men globally?

It is beyond disheartening Sad

I recently challenged a very senior (straight, white, middle aged) man at work who was giving a group of women a presentation about diversity (off to a good start, eh??). He fancied himself quite the feminist ally for his involvement in a scheme called Dads4Daughters whose aim is to capitalise on the late onset realisation that some men (NAMALT) have that their daughters will grow up to be women, and don't deserve to be treated the way that these men may have previously treated women.

He had shown his commitment to the cause by taking two hours off work to go to his daughter's sports day, and had then emailed photos of it round his whole team, who all thought him a jolly good chap for so doing.

I mildly asked him if he thought that a mum doing the same thing would get the same response.

He didn't even understand the question Hmm He just blustered "but why wouldn't she get the same reaction? We're all parents, aren't we? The point is that dads get to be involved just as much as mums"

So much missing the point, I couldn't even...

So yes, I fundamentally mistrust the "do it for your daughters, sisters, wives, mothers!" because a) how badly were they treating women before that they need to do this?; b) we're all someone's daughter or sister or wife; and c) it doesn't drive the right behaviours anyway, because all those other women who aren't daughter/wife/sister etc still don't count as human. And so - deepfake. Because most women are still objects.

sorry, I had gone away to do something else mid post and hadn't updated to see the subsequent posts about the child, which I've cross posted with so mine comes off as flip - not what I intended.

100YearsOfVote · 05/02/2018 19:45

I've been given the rage by libfem "friends" going on and fucking on about how empowering and awesome it is for women to work in porn or prostitution, and how the world has gone mad now darts girls are deprived of making a living.

People who think like this are a massive part of the problem propping these men and the odious patriarchy up. They also call themselves feminists.

I can no longer talk to certain people I'm just so fucking fucking fucked off with their selfish arsehole tiny minds.

Oh god I hear ya.

Posted this elsewhere today....but it's worth repeating Grin

Take your lady penises and fucking misogyny and fuck the fucking fuck off. Then when you get there fuck off some more, and just keep fucking off, when you feel like you've fucked off enough.....keep on fucking off.

I am utterly sick of all this shit.

I've not just reached peak trans....I think I might have reached peak men tbh. Angry

Can't read the links because it would make me very unwell.
Can't even string much of a sentence together.
Veering from utter despair to extreme anger

I relate to this so much.

WichBitchHarpyTerfThatsMe · 05/02/2018 20:53

My DD came home from school a few weeks ago talking about some of the boys at school having apps on their phones that do this. The girls are on high alert trying to make sure that no-one can take a photo of their faces to use on the app. My DD is only 13.

And YY to peak men and boys. I'm sick to death of turning over stone after stone to find increasingly vile things underneath.

UpABitLate · 05/02/2018 21:00

That school thing just shows everything that is wrong and how young this revolting attitude starts.

Of course it's up to the girls to make sure that no one is able to take any kind of photo of them, I mean obviously. If they will go around with their faces on while being female then they're asking for it really. How long till veils are suggested.

WitchBitch our schools need to protect the girls and permanently take phones off boys who do this!

When I calm the fuck down I want to compose some kind of "response" to the following fucking fuckers that I can link to of copy and paste - I want to challenge peoples views in a reasonable and challenging way but I can't do it when I have the fucking rage - so I'm thinking cheat sheet reponses for:

  • prostitution/porn is empowering for women and they choose freely to do it so I'm all good with that;
  • gender/sex: the difference! (this will mainly consist of a link to sexandgenderintro.com/ - this excellent page on the subject;
  • NAMALT
  • WATM?
  • the problem with self identification fuckwittery and WHY IT MATTERS.
thebewilderness · 05/02/2018 21:05

All the stories men have told for thousands of years say that women were created to serve men and for men to use as they please. Not only that but women are grateful and willing to be used by men or they are bad women.
Zombie lies never die because men never stop telling them.

LemonysSnicket · 05/02/2018 21:31

This is vile!

OvaHere · 07/02/2018 21:29

Good news for once. The deepfakes subreddit has been banned.

UpABitLate · 07/02/2018 21:34

Thanks for the update ova, it is good news.

Drop in the ocean but still good news.

Too many men seem to think that what their dick wants their dick must have
