instinctively I was gonna say shut the fuck up you’re not helping but thinking about it, they actually might. if there’s one country that might influence the US politicians more than Israel it’s gotta be $audi Arabia. I mean after 9/11 fucking Iraq got invaded but Saudi Arabia somehow barely got mentions.

he can’t be that bad… look at him; he has angel wings

a bit late for that when society is turning to fascism all over the world.

she was removed for speaking up against colonial criminals as an indigenous person. fucking boot lickers. probably literally too; wouldn’t be surprised.

fuck express.co.uk

how do I report this shit? accept tracking or pay? how about you suck my dick?

and finally, proof that the Sahara is not a desert. just like when it snows outside it’s proof that global warming is a hoax, rainfall proves that deserts are a hoax. the Sahara is a rainforest, wake up sheeple.

when people talk about pedophilia in this context they usually mean child predation, not the psychological condition. I doubt anyone cares if you have this as a condition but seek help for it without violating anyone.

you’re giving yourself too much credit. I didn’t know you exist; you’re the one who replied to me. you have a weird way of showing you don’t care about my opinion.

you keep saying “silence me” while you’re clearly very much the opposite of silent. no one’s silencing you. go protest.

I don’t remember silencing you mate. as I said, it’s embellishment and pointing to a societal problem. same with the bear question. you’re not supposed to take it literally.

maybe go counter protest with a sign that says “make your signs more precise and less attention grabbing” I don’t know. then we could be talking about that issue as well, because it is an issue. “men can’t be raped” is the result of our patriarchal society, and part of the problem with toxic masculinity. we should indeed talk about that too. systemic sexism hurts everyone.

this doesn’t at all follow my comment so I assume you replied by accident. you’re just airing grievances, which is your right, but it’s a non sequitur.

those cases are not relevant here. the data we’re talking about is not skewed. they cover all these other situations independent of municipality. also these are not numbers on reported cases (they’re included in the study) but estimated actual numbers.

wow, your argument really becomes impenetrable once you concede to "unless"es and “if” and "should"s.

there is an extended timeline. it’s called lifetime. and it tells a different story.

about the stats: thanks for finding it, I mixed the numbers and was looking for the 1.6% … anyway, looking for lifetime numbers, if you compare women who have been raped vs men who were raped and made to penetrate combined, the numbers add up to 19.3% of women vs 1.7+6.7 = 8.4% of men assuming zero overlap. that’s still more than double the rate of men.

in the same section for sexual violence other than rape, women’s rates nearly double men’s in lifetime numbers. again for some reason much closer in the 12 months preceding.

sexual coercion: 12.5% vs 5.8% lifetime (more than double) and not that close in the 12 months as other categories, 2% vs 1.3% (1.5x approximately)

etc etc…

I don’t know what the fuck happened between 2010 and 2011 but the numbers for that year do not reflect lifetime experiences of people at all. it makes no sense to disregard the extended timeline and instead use the snippet to extrapolate.

I specifically noted that I don’t believe in any essential differences between men and women. this is all societal, and patriarchy plays a big role not only in the predation of women but also men and the subsequent lack of reporting.

but in the current society women are safer than men. I have never set foot out my door and considered the possibility of being sexually harassed. women do it every time, and no, not just because our perceptions are skewed, but because we have different experiences.

this is anecdotal because i can’t do studies. most of the time defenses are put up by women because they actually go through something. not because they start life that way.

I took a look at the CDC report. Those comparable numbers are only about the 12 months preceding the survey which is, while probably statistically significant, not the whole story. It’s interesting to see why there’s a jump in those numbers for the 12 months preceding, but otherwise if you look at lifetime numbers women are victimized at significantly higher rates than men.

an estimated 19.3% of women and 1.7% of men have been raped during their lifetimes

that’s being penetrated, I think it doesn’t include being made to penetrate, which is covered in other forms of sexual violence.

side note: I don’t know how the article got numbers for “being made to penetrate” specifically, the CDC article doesn’t seem to specifically say it. maybe I skimmed it wrong. I only saw the 1.6% of men reporting “unwanted sexual contact” in the last 12 months, which is compared to the women reporting at 2.2% of women, which is while still almost 40% higher, closer than lifetime experiences which are estimated at 27.3% vs 10.8%. Guess which is which.

An estimated 43.9% of women and 23.4% of men experienced other forms of sexual violence during their lifetimes, including being made to penetrate, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and noncontact unwanted sexual experiences.

This includes being made to penetrate and other things, again if you can find where the 1.6% comes from please let me know.

An estimated 15.2% of women and 5.7% of men have been a victim of stalking during their lifetimes

this is interestingly one of the categories where it is not as close in the last 12 months: women’s rate double men’s. not central to my overall point but it is surprising because if anything I expected this to be closer than other categories, considering social media making stalking easier. just a note.

here’s an interesting part about “always a man”:

women are predominantly predated by men in all forms, but men are predominantly made to penetrate and coerced by women (I guess this is expected more than men would be doing this?), while penetrated predominantly by men (I guess obvious) and suffering other forms of sexual predation including stalking by a relatively even rate of men and women.

That sounds like it all comes pretty close to “always a man”.
