This PSA by anti-DV organization Mankind just about says it all. When a woman is mildly assaulted in public, people step in and put a stop to it. When a man is much more violently assaulted, people laugh.
No really.
They laugh.
Good thing misandry doesn’t exist, right?
Pop Quiz: What would happen if the man fought back?
Ha ha! Just kidding.
He would be arrested of course. For domestic violence.
Now there’s some equality for you.
Lots of love,
JB
Buzzfeed posted the video yesterday, and a lot of the comments were (without irony) “that in DV cases where the man is the victim, he probably did something to deserve it.” Then again, I had a Buzzfeed writer flat out tell me she was an unabashed misandrist over Twitter one time.

Yeah, well, remember some animals are more equal than others.

Recently watched the season finale of Castle. To avoid spoilers, lets just say there is an argument in a bar, and the girlfriend ends the argument by decking the guy with a punch to the face.
Not just totally accepted behaviour, but a comic relief gag. Accepted that “he had it coming” because of his behavior in losing her money.
Hard to imagine that it would be so accepted, and that there wouldn’t be some #cancelcastle twitter activism if the show portrayed the same domestic argument and had the guy punch out the woman for comic relief.

There is no reasonable argument that feminists can put out in defense of this. it not only goes against their narrative, it obliterates it entirely.
They can’t argue it, so they just send DMCA takedown requests until the information is suppressed, and they memory hole it.
It’s all you can do when your dogma is refuted in such a manner.

I have to say, that when I see these things, I would like to see one done where the man and women are the same size (not just the same height).
I suggest you may get the same result if you used a small man and a large man. i.e. People would help if the small man was being assaulted by the large man, but people wouldn’t help if the large man was being assaulted by the small man.
To be fair, the man in this video isn’t very big for a man, but he’s still a lot bigger than the woman.

More likely they know how futile or even dangerous it would be to involve the swine. Best case scenario, they would be ignored or ridiculed. Worst case (and infinitely more likely) scenario, they would be further assaulted, arrested, and charged with DB.

Lol, thanks I’m dumb. And you missed my point as well. It’s not about the #stillaman movement. I applaud the movement.

Using the term “Sexual Assaulted” doesn’t mean a man can’t be raped!!! Rape is a type of sexual assault! There are many types of sexual assaults….rape is included under the umbrella of sexual assault. Hell, most people use the terms rape and sexual assault interchangeably… even through rape is a subset of sexual assault. She means any form of sexual assault! Please educate yourself before you bash!

So, use the word rape then. Trust me on this, we get raped. Not just groped, or licked, or brushed up against, we get raped. Everything I ever hear from feminists re: sexual assault of women starts with one descriptor: RAPE, then on down to sexual assault, harassment, etc. So, start there. If I’m ever going to believe someone is trying to acknowledge that men can be raped, as I have been, I wanna hear the word rape.

They use it because the women they are speaking of were raped!! Sexual harassment , child molestation, groping, and domestic violence are terms often used as well when the victim experience one of these forms of sexual harassment!! Men and woman BOTH experience SEXUAL ASSAULT IN ALL FORMS!!! Also, you are a feminist as well because a feminist is a person who believes in the equality of the sexes!! You want men to have the same entitlements as woman!!! Making you a feminist!!!

Ooooookay… Um, just how is it that here I am, the reasonable rape victim, casually talking about language choices, and you go off super emotional in response and try to baptize me against my will into feminism?
Certainly one of the more interesting turns of events I’ve seen this week, and it’s been an odd week to be sure…
Here’s an interesting observation of your reply though: Did you notice you still managed to avoid using “Rape” and “Men” in the same sentence?
Finally, no, I want ALL PEOPLE to be equal, not just men and women. Children, transgender and intersex persons, you name it. When we finally get AI’s and/or human consciousnesses transferred into computers, possibly with rad anime-mecha bodies, I’ll still be for equal rights for them as well. What I won’t be is a Mecha rights campaigner, because, well… I’d try to explain it to you, but you don’t get it.
So far, I don’t even consider myself an MRA, so much as an advocate for universal human rights who happens to have found some inequalities relating to men, and I’m working with those who aren’t actively working to ignore, suppress or vilify those who are working towards equality…
Should this movement end up going whacko like feminism did so early in it’s existence, then I’ll still be here, working against whack-jobs for human rights, dig?
But seriously, I’ve been raped by self-identified feminists, then had feminist theory explained to me in order to “prove” that it wasn’t rape. So, please, don’t call me that word ever again, K?

There are other, gaping holes in the “logic” you seem comfortable using, but I really can’t be bothered going through it point-by-point, as you’ve already proven yourself immune to it.
Needless to say, I reject pretty much every assertion you’ve made here as baseless, ridiculous and self-evidently false.
All I can hope is that this is in no way indicative of the bulk of your public discourse.
