Gotta meet somewhere in the middle. Men stop catcalling women, and women give men more compliments, but men need to stop raping women first.
I've stopped raping years ago!
Dont like the implications of this sentence
The same vein as 'So when did you stop beating your girlfriend?'
For those of us familiar with QI, I'm sure everyone's thinking of this bit when you read this: https://youtu.be/uXom0OP3Rwk
Good on you
Women rape men too
I think it would be best if everyone just stopped raping
You're not wrong! Also not super relevant here. This is like responding "all lives matter" to a black lives matter comment. Well, maybe not that bad, but I hope you get my point.
So men raping women is relevant to the topic of men receiving compliments, but women raping men is irrelevant to the topic of men raping women?
In a vacuum like that it sounds bad, yes. That wasn't the entire context though. What I do think women raping men is irrelevant to is the topic of women being too afraid to give compliments to random men in fear of getting assaulted. Which is the whole reason rape was brought up in the first place.
Like, the other comment said I marginalized half the population. I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don't take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don't think now is the time to bring it up.
but women raping men is irrelevant to the topic of men raping women?
Uh. Yes.
You are looking for reasons to be upset. Knock it off.
If you must hear me say it: women should stop raping men. There you go. Mission accomplished.
What a great way to marginalize half the population
(I copied this from my other comment, but it was very relevant to this one so I figured I'd say it here too.)
I do not mean to. I know its an issue and more attention needs to be brought to it because too many people—especially other men—don’t take it seriously at all and can even treat it as a good thing. I just don’t think now is the time to bring it up.
We all know that. Go back to Reddit.
I can't, they banned me for saying punching nazis was a moral good
This is part of the reason why I don't compliment men. The first part is I'm just shy as fuck when it comes to complimenting anybody and will literally flounder in my mind about whether to say it or not, only for the person to walk away. mission failed
But the other half is not wanting to seem like I'm hitting on a man, because then if he harasses/pesters me, he'll think he's justified because I gave him a compliment so obviously I must wanna fuck him...
But yeah I'll be thinking, "his fashion is so good!" or "that cologne smells nice!" or "I love that tshirt!" but then I worry about coming off the wrong way, so I don't say anything...
Yeah. We need to teach our boys not to assume somebody is hitting on them and that they are not entitled to a person’s body, affection or attention. Then women will feel more comfortable displaying their feelings and men won’t have to worry so much about missing signs.
Completely unrelated but I just want to say you have a good taste in pokemon.
Haha thanks! Zard is for posers.
