    Haha yeah, it’s the stupid women’s fault that they need to be afraid of men drugging or raping them. Holy victim blaming, Batman!

    I mean, do women ever consider that when they make sweeping generalizations like that about men in public, that there’s probably a large number of innocent young men and boys out there that end up hearing them too, and then end up feeling somehow responsible, even though it wasn’t their fault?

    How do you think a statement like this lands with young men who are still trying to find their way in this world, when a woman publicly says “I’d choose the bear over you every time”, and a million women on social media applaud and nod in agreement, and not a single one dares to speak up against that?

    Talk about victim blaming…

    Lol, I’m sorry, but did you just make a sweeping negative statement about women while trying to argue that sweeping negative statements are sexist?

    Consider it an instructive example of what men are generally holding back from the discussion. If you don’t like how it feels when the shoe is on the other foot, maybe shouldn’t be defending it when women make sweeping negative statements about men.

    Why should only women be allowed to say such things, but when men do it, they have to do so in private amongst their buddies for fear of being called a misogynist and being cast out from “polite” society? What does this say about who really holds any power in society or who is the more violent sex?

      But as usual when it comes to discussing women’s issues, it leaves out a very important part, namely, the role women play when it comes to eliciting this sort of behavior in men.

      You can change the argument all you want, but let’s not forget you actually said this. Literal victim blaming.

      As far as the other half goes, I never said I don’t like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Men have it rough in life too, I know, I’m one of them. That’s why the only thing I mentioned was the hypocrisy of your statement.

      Jesus. I thought you were just missing the point. You are definitely the reason they pick bears. Fucking disgusting.
