    Nobody is demonizing “half of humans”. Do you honestly think these women believe that 100% of men are rotten? Of course not.

    There are a ton of decent men in the world, and if we’re to take the statistics at face value, that’s most of us.

    But there are also a ton of men, all across the world, who are liars and manipulators at best, and monsters who commit unimaginable atrocities at worst. I’ll say it in a slightly different way, men are disproportionately the perpetrators of violent crime, this is a problem.

    If we profess to be good men, and the best that most of us can muster is to sit idly by while bad men wreak havoc in the world, or to tell people to pipe down when they point out the obvious, then can we really call ourselves “good”?

    Clearly no law in a book, or half-assed enforcement of said laws, is a sufficient deterrent. Our problem is a cultural one, and if we continue to allow it to proliferate, we’re culpable too.

      I know and agree. I actually didn’t even specify men, just stranger humans, as women also are way more likely to murder or rape you (statistically) than a bear. Remember we are still comparing to bears.

      Edit: to be extra clear; the danger order is human male > human female > bears (i don’t have gendered data for bears, that’d be weird).

      But that guy, as other people on this post, seemed concerned about certain communities where men are really demonized. I just added a logical conclusion you get from the numbers and his answer

        Gotcha… misinterpretation on my part then. Apologies.

        The

        demonizing half of the humans because penis is not justified tho

        Along with

        I can’t believe that is a sentence that needs to be said

        Came off to me as a sort of “not all men” argument.
