Tbh it really just sounds like you wanted to type “black people are rapists”
It’s always “black” slotted in on this argument, especially in regards to sexual assault. Unless it’s a reference to violence, then the comparison pulled out is usually “muslim.”
Those examples are used because there is plenty of well-known racism and religion…ism (forgot the word) discussion along those lines. It’s like asking why people use squares and circles as their go-to example shapes, it’s part of the cultural consciousness. They’re using those examples because they know people consider them to be racist, and using that to imply that “men are rapists” is similarly sexist. It’s easy to twist this behavior into something problematic, but it’s really not.

Ever notice that? I wonder why…

Oh i know, but sonce the commenter wanted to play fifth grade nuance, i figured i’d frame it at their level
So you were only pretending to call them racist?
Alright, how about “women are rapists”? Or “Muslims are rapists”? Or whatever oppressed demographic you want. LGBTQ, religious, whatever.
