Because that’s basically what happens every time some kyriarchy, micro/macro aggression shit goes down and someone points out that it’s wrong or fucked up. ever heard of a straw man fallacy, i suggest looking it up before you lie on tumblr like this. It would be more accurate if the guy on the ground said that he can’t trust anyone who drives any sort of vehicle ever again. And then gets mad at the other responsible drivers for taking offense when they have been told that all drivers are reckless Because we all know if someone is actually hurt, the first thing to worry about is the “offense” someone else has taken, yeah? Because SOME PEOPLE’S feelings matter more than people’s survival? Yeah, ok, thanks for you showing your priorities. Except the people complaining usually aren’t victims, but just some idiots online who heard it off of the social justice grape vine Worldwide: 1 out of 3 women have been sexually assaulted You know women who have been assaulted. Women who are your friends, who are your family have been assaulted. But again, I think the most telling thing here is that you’re not worried that women have been harmed, but you’re worried about the “idiocy of the social justice grape vine”. But who’s the idiot when strangers on the internet care more about your family and friends than you do? And maybe you should interrogate the question of what you object to so strongly about people saying “The world would be better if people stopped thinking it’s ok to hurt women” and especially when in the process of that argument you put the women in your life up as sacrifice?

I don’t think you realize something when you put in the worldwide statistic. You and I live in a first world country. Those statistics count in places where women are treated as dogs and slaves. You have to realize that when it says 1/3 women WORLDWIDE are sexually assaulted. That does not mean that 1/3 american women are sexually assaulted. And stop turning rape into a gendered issue. In the UK, there is literally no law that protects male victims of rape. It is being questioned if a woman should go to jail for raping a disabled boy over there right now. I have never met someone who has been a victim of sexual assault. Im not saying it doesn’t happen, but what I am saying is that Im not going to trust some small piece of information on the internet that also has no sources to back it up from 2005. When I go to that page and I click on “Worldwide sexual assault statistics” It says “page can not be found”. Says a lot about your sources
