ORIGINAL: Awareness

"We talk about how many women were raped last year, not about how many men raped women. We talk about how many girls in a sschool district were harassed last year, not about how many boys harassed girls. We talk about how many teenage girls is the state... Go pregnant last year, rather than how any men and boys impregnated teenage girls." The author is a fucking idiot promoting the idea of men as sole perpetrators and women as sole victims, which is the real problematic part of the monologue from the left. What's missing is the discussion of men as victims - because only women are considered worth saving.
The author never said a thing about only women victims and only male perpetrators. Correct me if I'm wrong. Weinstein is a male and so far, all of the victims are female. If by some holy grail Weinstein ever gets prosecuted, the defense strategy of 'women do it, too' isn't going far.
quote:
"So you can see how the use of the passive voice has a political effect. quote:
No, the focus on women as sole victims and men as sole perpetrators has political effect. It tries to make violence a masculine issue rather than a people issue. It's a way of dehumanising men and thus justifying any retributive violence against them as fundamentally fair in nature. In short, it's the slippery slope towards justifying special treatment for women and discriminating against men.
No. The point is victims don't become victims all on their own. Weinstein's victims wouldn't have been victims had Weinstein not been a predator. Had Weinstein been gay, his victims would have been male.
quote:
{It} shifts the focus off of men and boys and onto girls and women. Even the term 'violence against women' is problematic. It's a passiv construction; there is no active agent in the sentence. It's a bad thing that happens to women, but when you look at the term 'violence against women,' nobody is doing it TO them. It just happens to them. Men aren't even a part of it!" quote:
Yes, that's right. Because who gives a shit about violence against men, amirite? Despite the fact that men are much greater victims of violence than women are, it's all about the women, because the dear, precious, sweet little things are much more valuable than men.
Are you holding some kind of secret intel that Weinstein was also sexually harassing men? How many of Weinstein's male employees were being duped to coming to hotel rooms under the guise of business meetings so Weinstein could offer massages or would they watch him shower naked?
Weinstein is a douche. Get over it.
quote:
MP, clearly isn't fucking thinking or he'd realise what a fucking vile proposition that author is putting forward. We already ignore men's pain, but this fuckwit wants to emphasise men as perpetrators, despite all the evidence demonstrating that - when it comes to violence - women are equally as bad as men, they're just less capable.
If there is any male pain about the Weinstein case, it's probably from the male employees of his company who knew what Weinstein was doing all of those years and they didn't say anything. Instead of doing the right thing, they chose the job, the bonuses, and the prestige. They signed those non-disclosure agreements, so if they (the "everybody knew" employees) feel bad about it now, I'm not going to say don't have a guilty conscious.
Weinstein's pain? Couldn't care less. Personally, I think he did it and "it" spanned decades.
