I didn't mean for this post to cause a bunch of arguing in the comments =(

I thought this was just some gallows humor (e.g. "Everything's lovely except that I have to fear for my safety all the time") type of shitpost that sounded similar to comments I've heard from women irl a lot.

I'm not angry at women for fearing violent abuse from men. I think you're misdirecting this A LOT. If as a person you hear ''men might kill me'' and you think ''poor poor men, why can't they catch a break'' your problem isn't passive adittudes to bigotry, it's having no idea that other people have problems and fears and threats and they are as upset about them as you would be in their shoes.

My problem is going up to men and proclaiming "men might kill me" and expecting that to go over well. Like let me just walk up to someone transgender and exclaim "transgender people might rape my children." That is objectively such a horrific thing to say. But no one cares when you say it about men. Because a man obviously will actually kill you ๐Ÿ™„

How many examples are there of trans people raping children?

How many examples of men raping women are there?

Iโ€™m a male and Iโ€™m not getting wounding up about this. Grow up.

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

At least one of each. Both are ridiculous statements drawn up by the delusional to push an agenda. You are getting wound up about me defending men due to a ridiculous statement in the same way I am getting wound up about a ridiculous statement that "others" men.

[โ€“] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I just think you sound a bit silly mate.

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, fair. It's hard when you care about something

[โ€“] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see rather this.

I understand men do things that they shouldnโ€™t. So I speak out against men doing these things.

Maybe focus on that rather than whining.

Men, statistically, actually might kill you. Transgender people, statistically, aren't going to rape your kids. You're including yourself when women talk about negative experiences from men when you don't have to. Again, men โ‰  all men including you.

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Statistically you won't be killed by a man for walking alone at night. Just as statistically your kids won't be raped by a transgender person. For some reason you are okay with the former though not the later. You are okay with this because you don't care about men. Those people are less to you. I don't like that. I think it's wrong.

[โ€“] _lunar@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Statistically, the number of transgender people who are going to rape your kids is fuckin' none. The chances of you being murdered at night are slim but a lot less slim, enough so that everyone (but especially women as they're often the targets of sexual violence) have to have to take it into consideration, and the ones doing it are almost entirely men. It becomes even less slim and downright common if you substitute murder with any other violence-based verb.

I know it's hard for you to believe but transgender people are just people. They are capable of rape. There are countless rape cases you can find if you want to. But you don't want to.

[โ€“] _lunar@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

I didn't say they're not capable of rape, I'm saying it's statistically "fuckin' none" (i should have said extremely improbable i suppose, but do I really need to explain hyperbolic language to you next?) that they're going to rape your kids, unlike the infinitely more likely chance of men engaging in sexual violence toward women. Posting a single example of one transgender person committing rape does not negate that, and you have no reason to assert I don't believe transgender people are people. What the fuck is wrong with you?

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah can you explain hyperbolic language to me please. Does it have something to do with hypertension? I know what that is after talking to you. XD

[โ€“] _lunar@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 hours ago

Hyperbole is exaggeration used for emphasis. When I say "fuckin' none" I don't mean literally zero, I mean an amount so indescribably tiny that it's negligible. I hope that clears things up for you.
