transcription: why are men so afraid of being falsely accused? just stay inside, dont put yourself in situations like this, dont go out alone especially at night, dont drink, dress modestly so women dont mistake you for predators, always be polite so you dont “provoke” women

    Had to check the sub to make sure this was posted as the satire it is. That logic is too sneaky, and I have way too easy of a time imagining people accepting it at face value. Probably most fitting post for the sub tbh

      It’s just a reverse of what socially conservative people tell to women victims.

        not just social conservatives, this is just the default way most people think about women and femininity - we assume women are inherently sexual and “have” the sex that men want to “take” from them. Even a liberal woman might feel ashamed for having large breasts, for example. When you have large breasts you can be perceived by others as being slutty just for wearing normal clothes.

              No, that’s just what social conservatives want you to think. If you grew up with it, it’s because you were taught that by your parents. Who were taught that by their parents, etc.

              if it was the default they wouldn’t put so much goddamned effort into brainwashing it in. Other cultures don’t have the same values.

              Kill the cop in your head.

    …because it’s happened to me before?

    Had an ex in junior high tell friends and others that I tried forcing myself onto her after I didn’t feel comfortable getting intimate with her like that when visiting her place for Christmas, which was her cheap excuse to justify to them why she cheated on me.

    The exact opposite was the case where she threatened to blackmail me if I didn’t do something, which she then did anyway. Didn’t realise I was on the ace spectrum until years later.

    You don’t solve the issues you face by diminishing those of others.

      The post is not a good argument and is not trying to be a good argument because it copies an infamous bad argument about women being sexually assaulted. I’m sorry you experienced what sounds like sexual coercion of your own in the past.

      I know I’m sorry doesn’t make it better, especially from an internet stranger, but you have my sympathies anyways.

      I hope you’re in a better place now at least.

      Sorry that that happened to you but I doubt you’ll get a ton of sympathy, things like this posted on female centric communities never do

        A person bears their soul about something horrible that happened to them, and you hijack their post in order to shit on women. Real class act you are

        Dude, the whole thing was satire from the get-go. I’m sure many women, myself included, can sympathize. I’m sorry you went through that, @Binzy_Boi@piefed.ca

      You can dress how you please, go outside, and drink a bit. So long as you respect the wishes and autonomy of others, you can live without the shame of “automatically being someone bad,” whether that be a slut or a predator. It’s not your fault if something unjust happens to you. You can only do what can.

    2 years into therapy and I’m realizing most of my social anxiety stems from the fact that I was literally living like this.
