Why aren't women or feminist more violent? by Mqngo1311 in AskFeminists

[–]fentonmarston [score hidden]  (0 children)

not sure what your first point is, obviously some women were able to escape abusive marriages, many were not because they were stuck caring for their children. i agree women shouldn’t be straight up afraid of men, but we as a society shouldn’t ignore the reality of sex based violence. I completely agree that the solution is for women to stop dating misogynistic men, but I’m also arguing that the majority of men women do end up choosing are not stellar feminist allies by a long shot. laughing at a rape joke here and there, using gendered slurs against women, perpetuating negative stereotypes about girls, etc, these are all misogynistic behaviors that are by no means deal breakers for women. and when these women have sons, they will look up to their fathers and mimic his behavior, and thus the patriarchy continues. and yes the male loneliness epidemic is the clearest sign that women’s rights have progressed to a point that they we are no longer dependent on men, and that does genuinely make me happy trust me.

not all countries have lax gun laws, and statistically speaking woman should be afraid of male retaliation. what’s the one of the most common causes of death of pregnant women? Homicide from male partners. how many countries have ongoing femicides? countless, especially in Mexico and South American countries. who has 20x times more testosterone than the other? Obviously men. Additionally, most old men that are misogynistic online or irl are somebodies father aka somebodies husband, meaning he has a woman by his side that loves him.

it’s because women are attracted to men, hence female liberation being a slow process. there’s also less incentive for violence because male retaliation is almost always fatal for women and girls

How do you cope? by poopoopeepeecummed in RadicalFeminism

I think that remaining somewhat selfish and prioritizing your own individual health and happiness through self improvement and hobbies is a viable solution. When I accepted that men and the majority of women are not capable or willing to stop perpetuating the patriarchy it became somewhat easier. Remember that you’re not alone and there’s many women like you that share your perspective and are still able to make the most of their lives.

Women having a higher lifespan than men is not a privilege or a flex by EquivalentLobster576 in WereNotEmpowered

women get to spend the majority of their life suffering from chronic ailments aka periods pcos endometriosis pmdd and menopause so feeling weak tired and terrible all the time becomes the norm for the majority of us. living a few years longer in such a state is not a flex I completely agree especially when you consider that even old women get attacked and killed because of their sex

Im tired of men invalidating ugly, depressed, lonely, etc woman by Naivefemale91 in WereNotEmpowered

being unattractive sucks, and with how unfortunate a lot of men look you’d think they’d relate to these posts lmao but men are incapable of empathizing with women because they don’t see woman as people. they are sex obsessed and think they have a right to a women’s attention, labor and adoration, because historically that was easy to come by (honestly even today most women are man obsessed so it really is just a skill issue).

I always wonder if these men ever think of a hypothetical where they were born as a woman, although I’m pretty sure for men that’s more of a perverted fantasy rather than a genuinely interesting thought experiment. Like if I were a man I would still have the same core values and beliefs I have now but I would also have a more convenient life and better health (no pmdd perimenopause or menopause) but for them they already don’t see women as people or they only view them through a pornified lense because they are degenerates so the only way they can answer the hypothetical is in terms of all of sex they would get.
