You’re once again taking my words, which have always been about this online discussion and the words being used in it and using it to paint an inaccurate portrait that I do not care about women’s trauma irl. Patently untrue. I care about how people jump at every opportunity to disparage the other sex online through offensive generalisations, then hide it behind a veneer of thin justifications, such as “you wouldn’t feel hurt if you weren’t the target”, or “see? you’re proving our point that all men are evil and suck”, or whatever the argument of the day is.
That’s my problem. It’s a bandwagon effect that won’t stop because the group being the target of the accusations online is immediately targeted when they defend themselves. See a familiar pattern? This is why it needs to stop. You claim to want empathy from both sides, well, it starts with stopping the us vs. them nonsense and aggressive generalising about all men.
There’s a little thing called self-reinforcing positive attitudes, but without breaking the cycle you feed the opposite behaviour.
What’s your KDA?
