yea

I did not expect this this post of mine to attract as many people minimising SA as it did. Bit of a downer, yeah.

    You can't be sexist against men for the same reason you can't be racist against white people.

    Just let it go dude, the defensiveness a bunch of my fellow bromrades are expressing to this thread is really fuckin disappointing.

    Do better fellas.

    Calling a man a "pussy" or a "wimp" for refusing to engage in toxically-masculine behavior

    "Real men don't cry"

    This is just fuckin misogyny dude, this is not sexism against men.

    And above all else, given the discussion that we're having: the idea that men cannot be raped

    Literally NOBODY ever said this and the fact you bring this up as some sort of point is sus as fuck.

      Look, I don't really want to respond to you here. This thread isn't about this issue, and I didn't want to make it one. I sought merely to offer a minor guardrail against a claim that I found incorrect.

      I will only respond to one point: Nobody in this thread said men cannot be raped, that's true. I wouldn't say anyone in this thread has been sexist against men; I don't agree with the other dude who was in here complaining about it.

      But the idea that "literally nobody ever said" that men cannot be raped is false. It is, unfortunately, a commonly-held belief. Here's a study which mentions it as a "male rape myth" (section 1.2): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8258646/

      I will not be responding to any further comments on this issue. I hope you have a good day, and I'm sorry that you found my point disappointing, but I don't think I was wrong.

      Edit: I will be touching grass for a while.

        I will no longer be using this website.

        Good.

        You:

        This thread isn't about this issue, and I didn't want to make it one.

        Also you:

        given the discussion that we're having

        Fuuuuuuuuuuck you.
