Abusive men pave the way for lazy men to get wives and girlfirends.
Lemme clarify, how many times have you heard your overworked female friends and relatives say “Yeah, Jerry drinks beer every evening after work while I cook dinner and clean up after everyone and does the bare minimum to help me raise the kids but he’s such a nice guy. He’s never beat me in my life. I couldn’t ask for a better guy in my life.”
Like no, Sally, your husband is a common stone among turds and you know it.
I try to explain this conceptually to people as a thing that happens not saying that this is good but it’s a thing that happens.
This is what male privilege is and how all men benefit from it.
This is why you are not exempt from statements about “all men” even if you are overall good.
You benefit from the bar constantly being lowered by systemic issues within the gender.
The expectations on you are always lower than they should because “at least you’re not X”.
That…is the best response I’ve seen to the “not all men” thing. Thank you.
I think the craziest thing about people who cry about “antis” is they genuinely believe pedophilia isn’t already normalized in the media. There are super popular movies, books, and shows glorifying pedophile. A pedophile ran a successful political campaign.
So honestly if you think “antis” (in this context: people who don’t like normalization of pedophilia in media) are more of a problem than actual pedophiles just block me. I don’t give a fuck if maps-are-valid-uwu gets mean messages from “antis” or gets exposed and fired from a job. Victims of pedophiles are the ones who suffer, they’re the ones left behind, they’re the ones who are terrified to reveal their experiences.
If you think you’re helping abuse victims by saying “it’s OK for the media to portray pedophilic relationships you bullies”, you’re wrong. It’s because of stuff like that people view this abuse as normal and excusable. Fiction DOES impact reality. When anyone writes a fictional story they want it to impact your thoughts and emotions because THAT’S HOW YOU WRITE EFFECTIVELY. Yet these “anti anti” freaks somehow think fiction is completely separate from reality, and embracing stuff like lolicon impacts nothing, which is entirely untrue.
When you defend depictions of pedophilia and other forms of abuse in media or fiction, you are contributing to the normalization of abuse. You’re not a hero, and you’ve got plenty of rich and famous people doing this shit for you.
