bgaesop: quirkywhore: bgaesop: badjewess: lonelystiles: how are some men trusted to understand what a stop sign means when they don’t understand a simple no edited for less fuckery “#kill all men” was the hashtag on the post I’m reblogging



Interesting to finally see people coming out in support of the police shooting black men, it’s not common to see that made explicit Tbh I don’t see how this relates to police violence or racism? I tagged it #kill all men because I think men are terrible, awful creatures (who can’t understand - or don’t have any respect for - basic things like consent, as in the concept of “no” in the OP). And if they can’t understand basic consent, why are they allowed to DRIVE CARS? Y'know? Am I missing how the OP was about police brutality? Because I don’t see the connection. Police brutality is the killing of men that is most in the news at the moment. If the general principle of “killing all men is a good idea” holds, then the specific instance of “police killing black men is a good idea” follows from that. If all men are terrible, awful creatures who should be killed, then all black men are terrible, awful creatures who should be killed, and so the police doing so is a good thing.



Which, y’know, I disagree with, because I disagree with the idea that men are terrible, awful creatures who should be killed. I just think it’s important to notice the consequences of our beliefs. Your argument holds no weight. Here’s why: Men do not experience oppression because of their gender. Thus, misandrist jokes hold no weight. It doesn’t fucking affect them. Black people, on the other hand, definitely do experience oppression because of their race. That’s why jokes against people of color are not okay. Equating a misandrist joke to a very serious epidemic of state-endorsed racial violence (when race was never even brought up in the slightest until you did so), and insinuating that I support police brutality, is super gross. Silencing my rage against men who have assaulted and raped me my entire life by derailing my post and drawing false equivalencies to racism is more evidence on why my hatred towards men is justified.

>Men do not experience oppression because of their gender.



Mmm, to stick just to the example at hand, men are far more likely to be killed by the police than women are (at a ratio of about 40 to 1). This remains true when you control for race: far more white men are killed by the police than white women or black women, and in turn yet more black men are killed by the police than white men, proportionally speaking (in absolute terms more white men are killed, because there are more white people than black people in the US).

I’m not sure how reblogging your post and getting it in front of more eyes without deleting anything you wrote constitutes silencing you, but whatever. For the record, I have also been raped and assaulted, and men are far more likely to be assaulted than women are, and if we include men being raped by women as rape (which most people don’t) then men are equally likely to get raped as women are (1.1% per year).



I just find it a bit odd, personally, to see my dashboard filled with photos of black men holding up signs saying “black lives matter” and then seeing this post by a white woman saying “kill all men”.
