Ironically I think that ship has sailed

Their messaging so far to Israel has been “do whatever the fuck you want, 💰💰”

Ukrainians have more regard for their fallen drone comrades than Russians have for their fallen human comrades

Total joke of a government

Women rapists are more rare. And comments like this only serve to promote rape culture.

They exist, right? In direct contradiction to what the sign is plainly saying, right? But pointing that out is somehow promoting rape culture? That is ridiculous and offensive. They mean to exclude an entire category of survivors. To believe that slogan and uncritically repeat it, you’d need to be willfully ignorant and have the emotional intelligence of a turnip.

Sex abuse of all kinds is evil and a social menace. By people of any gender, against people of any gender. No equivocation, full stop.

I’m not out to debate the statistics of “REAL problem” with you. I’m pointing out that it’s counterproductive (and I believe morally wrong) to tell survivors they’re unworthy because their abuser was a woman. I get the feeling some people care more about gendering this issue than they do about about victims of abuse.

most of the men I know tend to think abusive men are always other men

I’m sure most if not all abusers are in denial and don’t consider themselves abusers, but this slogan gives a pass to ones who happen to be women by insisting that they don’t exist at all.

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy, and invest their energy in being better and calling out their fellow men to try and improve your collective reputation

This is bald-faced, shameless bigotry and reflects a real lack of self awareness

Seemed pretty clear to me that @[email protected] is calling me a rapist for daring to criticize the claim that rapists are always men

I’ll take the bait too because I’ve personally known a female abuser (never did anything to me but raped a 14 year old as a teacher) and it makes me furious that a so-called activist would not only disregard crime that doesn’t fit their narrative, but try to gaslight the rest of the world into doing it too.

not all men but always a man

Pointless sexist bullshit and wrong on its face. I never understood the drive some people have to paint abusive behavior as exclusive to men.

You’d think if they were actually concerned what Israel would do with all those weapons, they’d stop giving them all those weapons

Ireland isn’t in Europe? You’re about as well informed geographically as you are economically 😂

And then the adherents fought over the means and meaning, and everybody else threw their hands up

ML anxious attachment style. Banning people for comments they make on other instances is some weeeird little dog behavior.

Probably because most other countries aren’t under the justified suspicion that China is for directly repressing speech it doesn’t like. It’s a conspiracy theory but it’s not at all absurd, it is plainly the most reasonable explanation for what is happening.

Yeah sometimes things don’t happen until they do, shocking

This isn’t people being unaccounted for for a few minutes. It’s people who normally doesn’t do things for sensationalism saying something controversial and then going missing, and this happening in a pattern in one country in particular.

Yes by definition it’s a conspiracy theory, but these people aren’t providing a detailed accounting of the time they were away. That should rightly raise questions, and international media is absolutely ethically in the right in wondering publicly about their wellbeing.

Didn’t Ukraine give up it’s nuclear armaments by treaty with Russia in exchange for Russia acknowledging its sovereignty?

People in China say something the government doesn’t like and aren’t heard from at all for a while, you really think they can say that something bad happened to them when they reappear?
