      Men have been screaming at me in public about their penis feelings since i was in primary school and that’s the very least of it. Women don’t need the media to know we’re in danger. Men will bombard us with enough sexual harrassment to do that themselves.

      It’s not fear porn. It’s reality.

      If what you’re saying is that people respond poorly in general to the news, then fine. But that’s hardly the same thing as being negged into abusive relationships.

          You’re treading a fine line with that logic claiming that news like this is designed to neg women into being constantly afraid.

              Sure. But painting women as completely beholden to the news to the point that they’re negged into paranoia and abusive relationships is blatantly over representing the problem.

                I would say it’s people in general. Women just happen to be the targets of this particular manipulation. But all people are extremely susceptible to manipulation.

                  or is it intended to constantly neg you to the point you become a hollow shell of a woman, overly eager to please others out of fear for hypotheticals, no longer capable of recognizing good in others so you’ll settle for the abusive relationships you’ve been conditioned to expect?

                  I’m using your words, in your phrasing. If I’m misrepresenting what you said, then you might want to reexamine what you said.

        Men are just as likely to get murdered by men as women are likely to get murdered by men.

        And yet men are not afraid of talking to other men.

        It ain’t the stats, it’s the perception.

          Thank you for being the voice of reason, and backing it up with data, Any chance you can share the source?

          Women are physically inferior to men, and most men don’t have a sense of romantic entitlement towards other men. I really can’t believe I have to explain why the dynamic of men telling another man no is different from a woman doing the same.

              Fear of demonstrably real repercussion. Not unwarranted fear.

              You’re trying to state that the fear should be just the same, but the dynamic is not. Men don’t tend to kill other men out of unrequited love. Trying to say that the difference lies purely in how the media portrays the problem is completely ignoring the context.

              It doesn’t matter if the murder rate of men to women vs men is roughly the same if the causes are fundamentally different.
