THEN WHY DO YOU PEOPLE KEEP BRINGING UP SEXISM AS IT APPLIES TO MEN?
Well good question there are multiple reasons for this.
1) A lot of people handle equality in a male and female capacity, rather then just one gender. Believing that true equality is obtained when the issues of both sexes are handled. Most forms of feminism, for example, believes in this.
2) Some people do not believe that the severity of the one groups problem completely occludes the issues of another.
3) Issues that affect women usually have male counter parts (For example Violence towards females with the violent male expectation)
No one has tried to devalue the issues women face or anyone's need above theirs.
But more importantly
4) The conversation has constantly been steered towards how men cannot understand sexism and that their opinions on such should be considered lesser. That a woman's pain runs deeper than any man's. It begs this kind of conversation.
1) I believe in equality between the sexes. I just think we need to focus on sexism towards women first, because it's more likely to result in more terrible things, and in this thread, since it was originally made around sexism towards women. If there's a general sexism thread, I'm all for it.
2) Completely, no. For the moment, yes.
3) Okay? Not sure how that's relevant, but not in a way that I think you're wrong, just in a way that I'm confused and honestly want to understand now because it sounds interesting and worth discussion.
4) It's been steered that way because men are saying they claim to know as much or more about sexism against women as women do. Which is false. I don't know as much about it as women do, because I'm a man. I acknowledge that fact, and try to learn more, instead of thinking I know what's best for them or some such.
So are you saying that rape doesn't actually happen often then?
Red Herring
No, actually, it's not. If you look at the way he phrased that, he seems to be saying that rapes don't actually happen, because there isn't enough evidence to prove them, thus a system to find people guilty whether or not they are was put into place. Just calling it a red herring doesn't actually solve anything/
