I don't go on social media so I don't really get it but I have seen memes here and there of women getting mauled by bears presented in a "heh, serves her right" kind of way.

So weird that dudes complain that they can't get women when the message they put out there is they hate women and make images of them being brutally mauled. what-the-hell

EDIT: I did not expect to see people I trust minimise SA here. I'm disappointed, that's something I expect from a random chud blowing in from another instance, not you guys. Most of you were extremely cool in your answers, but to the one or two that weren't. Do fucking better.

      Oh, eat shit. "Women be misreading normal behaviour as creepy." Is the oldest sexist gaslighting in the book.

      It's pretty obvious that's not what women are talking about, learn to read.

          Wreckers will always be incredibly defensive, they are always the victim in all circumstances, but not just due to misunderstandings, they will always claim maliciousness on the part of others as a means to try and turn the community against each other and encourage paranoia.

          We can see this here with this 2 week old account insisting that a long time, well respected member of the community is "gaslighting" them, when all Dirt_Owl is doing is calling them out on their misogyny.

          Remember DARVO, this is the most common way people like this operate:

          Deny

          Attack

          Reverse

          Victim and

          Offender.

          I'm sure you can all spot this pattern in this person's comments in this thread(EDIT: Well, not now that their comments are deleted). This is how all manner of abusive and manipulative people can stay under the radar and get away with their behaviour.
