    What’s the point of hating an entire group of people because some of them are assholes?

    Just say that sexual offenders are pigs, no need for sexism.

          Believe it or not men are not an oppressed minority. Sex offenders also cross all races and religions. It’s something all of you can relate to equally

        Technically true, but sexual assault on men is even more underreported than sexual assault on women. We can’t let other men know we’re weak. Same goes for non-sexual assault. Two exes have been regularly violent to me and I just kept going because I’m not admitting in public that a woman is beating me. I just took it “like a man”, knowing full well I could knock them the fuck out, but choosing not to hit back.

        So we really don’t know how much sexual violence is perpertrated against men by women. After all, men always want it, so we can not be raped by women. Unless it’s a particularly fugly woman maybe?

        My point is, toxic masculinity and all that. We don’t know how much is being hidden.

          I know exactly what you mean. When I (cis man) was freshly 18 in the 00’s I was indecently assaulted by an older woman in a bar when I walked past her and her group of friends and I never reported it. I have friends who experienced similar who never reported it either. When I told my friends that night what had just happened I was told I was lucky to be non-consensually grabbed by a woman. I tried to tell myself that was the case for a long time; it took many years before I came to realise that I was assaulted and, by that point, there was nothing I could do about it.

        REPORTED sex offenders.

        Male reporting of sexual assault by women are hardly ever reported due to the stigma attached.

            You sound exactly the same as the people who tell sexually assaulted women that they’re “making shit up”

                You made a claim that hyperrin is making shit up without any solid proof

                I also don’t see what your goal is with all these sexist claims. Should we arrest all men? Discriminate against them? I just want to live in a society where everyone is treated equally, regardless of gender.

          You see it in fiction all the time:

          • HumanA: “Demons killed my parents”
          • HumanB: “Orcs ate my child”
          • ElfA: “Humans abducted my siblings and sold them in the slave market.”

          Those are just analogies of the group based generalisations we tend to make IRL.

        all sexual offenders can go fuck themselves, regardless of gender.

        Bullshit. It’s just looked at differently. A student gets sexually assaulted by a female teacher and everyone is like nice. Flip the genders and everyone is like that’s sick. Why? Both are as bad as each other.

          Statistically speaking if you are sexually assaulted there’s between a 94 and 99 percent chance it was a man assaulting you.

          93.6% of sexual abuse offenders were men. This is an overwhelming statistic. Not all men are sex offenders but almost every sex offender is a man

            Not who you responded to, but evidently someone needs to point out that you didnt read their question, or you maliciously misinterpreted it.

            Edit: nope they did actually answer the question, im just shockingly bad at reading which is very unusual for me.

              It appears that you’re the one who didn’t read my response. “Not all men are sex offenders but almost every sex offender is a man”

                …so you’re just ignoring their question to substitute your own. Very nice strawman, but it does appear pretty malicious at this point.

                  Question posed: “So all men are sex offenders” Answer given: “Not all men are sex offenders but almost every sex offender is a man”

                  It’s a literal direct answer to their question. Perhaps English isn’t your native language?

                    Nah m8, you right. Somehow repeatedly missed your last statement. Sorry for the snarkiness.

                    I saw the “almost every sex offender is a man” part, but i missed you actually answering the question somehow. Genuinely sorry

                    Edit:seriously thats wild, im guessing i got hit with a serious case of assuming
