    How many female teachers have been caught fucking their barely pubescent students this year alone so far?

    It isn’t a men-women problem. People just suck.

      I don’t disagree that both men and women do heinous things, but women don’t almost never physically attack or kill a man when he shuns her advances, but men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man’s advances, and sometimes women get straight up murdered for it.

      #NotAllMen, but enough men that many women choose the bear.

        men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man’s advances

        This is a completely weightless statement, considering that it’s true if as few as 365 men a year do this, out of ~4,000,000,000. In other words, 0.000009125%.

        Pretty low bar for shitting on half the world, no?

          I’m not shitting on half the population, I’m highlighting the reality of men reacting violently at women to being rejected or ignored. It’s every day. It’s constant. Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

            It’s every day.

            Already established to be a pretty much meaningless statement. It’s also a fact that mothers abuse children every day, on average, too.

            Do you think it’s fair to say mothers “constantly” abuse children, based on the above technically-correct fact?

            I’ll bet you don’t. But you’re happy to do it about a demo you’re biased against.

            It’s constant.

            That’s bullshit. You’re just bad at statistics, and/or letting things like social media warp your perception of reality.

            A tiny minority of men react violently to rejection.

            Walk a mile in a young woman’s shoes and you’ll get to experience it firsthand.

            I was raped by a woman, but you won’t find me making dumbass statements implying all women are rapists because of it, because I’m capable of logical, rational thought.


            How’s this for “reality” when it comes to gendered violence: research out of Harvard showed that, among male/female relationships where one of the two ‘members’ is domestically violent and the other isn’t, the violent one is the woman over 70% of the time.

        This isn’t the 1950s, Scooter. Women aren’t viewed as fragile incapable little things anymore because they never really were.

      Do we need to start throwing out the stats for how many rapist are men compared to women?

      Spoiler alert, most rapist are men and it’s not even close.

          Highly unreported numbers for male rapists too, especially since most male victims were raped by men.

            but those are likely to be repeat offenders, so i’m not actually sure that how that would effect it.

            The raw number of rapes will go up, but rapists will probably rise quite a bit less.

            Statistics is hard >:(

        Sure, just as long as you define rape in such a way that female-on-male rape actually counts as rape, which it doesn’t in the vast majority of “rape statistics” that get put out. Quote http://time.com/3393442/cdc-rape-numbers :

        And now the real surprise: when asked about experiences in the last 12 months, men reported being “made to penetrate”—either by physical force or due to intoxication—at virtually the same rates as women reported rape (both 1.1 percent in 2010, and 1.7 and 1.6 respectively in 2011). In other words, if being made to penetrate someone was counted as rape—and why shouldn’t it be?—then the headlines could have focused on a truly sensational CDC finding: that women rape men as often as men rape women.
