No one's saying anyone should be quieter about the rate of sexual violence. I'm specifically talking about culture war rhetoric used to create large divides. Do you think parroting a culture war talking point a) helps spread awareness of how horrible the rate of sexual violence for women is or b) alienates people who would potentially be allies because of the inherently alienating statement?

So you're pro stoking outrage online? I'm kind of confused by your comment.

There is a large number of men that stand by when something is happening, or are the perpetrators of violence. I think the reason that men are offended is because it also paints over the men who are trying to be allies. If transfolk started using the phrase "all cis" to describe who is inflicting violence, it would be overwhelming cis people causing violence towards them. It's factually correct. It also wouldn't help framing themselves as a culture war issue.

The issue isn't that its correct, it's the prevalent idea in online communities that "I ought to be right" without some sort of call to action or creation of community. If a person posting about any social issue, whether that be this or immigration rights, or black lives, is simply writing a post with no means for action behind it to simply drive home a point isn't benefitting their community, but stoking outrage to increase engagement on social media.

By using "all men" rhetoric, not only are you alienating men that are sympathetic for the cause, but you're actively driving away men that are teetering on the edge.

I understand how dire of an issue this is. If you really want to make change, stop posting culture war rhetoric and start promoting and volunteering locally. Start to make an actual change instead of getting random men angry online.

There haven't been any so far.

I'm people.

Install bonzi buddy, the true AI.

The guy your arguing with's name is "Truth_Hurts" and their account was created like 2 weeks ago. All of their recent comment history is arguments, they even have a ton of comments that were removed by a mod I think. Just give it a rest with that guy, they clearly won't even back up their claims with the bullshit they're spewing.

Holy shit I didn't realize that.

SSX tricky for the PS2

Is that not what a live USB is?

Yeah that'd be cool!

I've seen you around on Lemmy and I just want to say: you seem like a nice genuine person that really cares about the things they do and research. Don't take other people's faults as a reason to have less heart in what you enjoy doing.
