Is there even a remotely comfortable place for people to even talk about subjects like this without it devolving into “not all X” arguments and completely missing the point? I basically can’t talk about any of my day to day experiences with sexism without fearing the majority of lemmy users. I shouldn’t be fucking afraid dammit.
If 10% of the men that got offended by this shit would get offended by their mate catcalling or groping someone those behaviours would disappear in a week.
That’s probably the most heinous sexual offense there is. I’ve been at a work function where a guy pinned me against a wall and insisted I come home with him, everyone just looked on with a couple of awkward laughs. I’m not saying your friends are all bastards, but you’ve gotta have a pretty narrow or pretty small social circle to avoid running into predatory men.

How? We’re not friends with those people. The Fratbro Alliance is a self contained circlejerk.
guarantee you know some blokes that treat women like shit at least sometimes if you’re at all social.
approx 15% of Aussie men admit they would rape a kid, most often married wealthy men with kids. https://www.humanrights.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviour and attitudes among Australian men.pdf

Yes but then they would have to get angry at their bros, not just at bitches. It’s totally different. We wouldn’t understand.
I have no tolerance for insecure men who are scared of their bad behaviour ever being held to account. I 💯 agree with you.
