I did not expect this this post of mine to attract as many people minimising SA as it did. Bit of a downer, yeah.
Yeah that thread was… Enlightening. Sorry you had that happen but it exposed a fair few people that need(ed) to self crit.
It’s wild how someone will say the words “true crime brain” and just completely black out that they just said the word “true”. Like those horrific things happened because real men did them.
yeah that shit was pretty yikes. just another example of how even people who are on board with us most of the time still have serious brainworms to exorcise.
So fucked up how common it is for guys to just go to bat for an entirely hypothetical man in an entirely hypothetical scenario rather than just listen to a woman’s concerns about how they don’t feel safe around men they don’t know. I really cast a side eye on any man or masculine presenting person who just wants to dismiss women’s concerns the way some of those people did. They’re a tiny minority of people there, but the fact that they’re here at all is disturbing.
This #Notallmen stuff should have no place here.
For the past few weeks there have been multiple people on here really showing their asses by upvoting or commenting outright incel shit on various posts. This has convinced me that Hexbear needs another fucking purge.
I’ve found myself asking a whole lot more frequently this past couple months "how the fuck did something like this get so much traction here" against outright incellish and/or racist bullshit.
