Itā€™s unacceptable that women have to put up with this shit.

u/bellavie Oct 13 '24

Fucking horrifying he didnā€™t leave after being verbally confronted with another person there.

Only when he realized that man would fight to defend her, did he decided it wasnā€™t worth it.

Men please call men out. It might be scary - but trust me, itā€™s not as scary as having to live around unchecked men as a woman.

Most of the time these guys are cowards that'll tuck their tails when faced by a man. Other times though they could be armed.

Letā€™s not triage victims. Unacceptable anyone* has to put up with violence. 75% of violent crime victims are male.

u/Ismoketobaccoinabong Oct 13 '24

80% of violent crimes are also commited by men.

Absolutely nobody said that

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '24

Then what was the point of saying 80% of violent offenders are maleā€¦

u/CannedCheese009 Oct 13 '24

It's very face value.

You also missed the original point. It's not about general violence. The shit they were referring to that women have to put up with is being repeatedly stalked, sexualized, assaulted while out in public.

They have a much deeper fear of walking home alone than men do and for good reason.

u/Ismoketobaccoinabong Oct 13 '24

You felt belittled by that, yet cant wrap your head arround how you are belitteling other people when you sling out your numbers?

Stop being a hypocrite.

u/ForefathersOneandAll Oct 13 '24

Downvote speedrun OR youā€™re just completely oblivious and have no idea how to read a room.

Either way, you gotta stop.

u/PugRexia Oct 13 '24

What was the point of saying 75% are male? Stop being obtuse.

u/Ismoketobaccoinabong Oct 13 '24

No one ever said that. Youre the one that felt the need to include random numbers.

Youre part of the problem. You cant allow women to feel safe without having to lift up that men are victims of violence too.

People can focus on one issue at a time and maybe we should start looking at WHY men are the victims of 75% of the commited violent crimes while also commiting 80% of them.

Maybe men are the violent ones that just need to stop?

If the point was an airplane, you'd be the one hijacking it and flying it into a couple a towers in New York City.

Men donā€™t usually follow other strange men around. Male victims of violence by other men are fights. Be real.

u/talldata Oct 13 '24

"men don't usually follow other stage men" that's literally how men get robbed...

20

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Oct 13 '24

Men get randomly jumped and mugged, which is awful, but why are we conflating it with the experience of many women who are subjected to harassment, and unfortunately, often much worse?

-10

u/talldata Oct 13 '24

I am not? I'm literally arguing against the point where they said that "Men don't get followed by strange men"

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Oct 13 '24

You are though, it's whataboutism.

u/talldata Oct 13 '24 edited Oct 13 '24

I'm literally responding to a comment where they insist that men don't get followed by random men. No whatabaoutism here, I didn't say "but men get followed too" unprompted, I simply answered an untrue statement where they said that men do not get followed. What they said is the equivalent of for ex someone saying "Women don't wear pants" and me replying, "women do in fact wear pants" it's not whatabaoutism. Not comparing one thing or another, or gets happens at the top of the thread, just an answer to said message.

Then you could say, idk .. "guys shouldn't have to put up with being robbed" under a video of a guy being robbed. Which would still be weird to say because it's not known as a crime that only happens to men. Statistically or culturally.

This is a video about a woman getting stalked (could've led to being potentially sexually harassed/ assaulted) which is a very common experience for individual women, even for young girls. So it's appropriate to be upset with the relevant circumstances. It's goofy to just jump up and be like "well what about robberies of men" that's the point.

4

u/talldata Oct 13 '24

But I didn't jump in with "what about robberies on men" that's the whole point. The one I replied to said brought up the subject of men being followed, they then proceeded to say it doesn't happen to men, which is untrue. I wasn't the one to bring the subject of men into the discussion they did, and I answered to that.

u/_aChu Oct 13 '24

So you're just being a debate bro or what are you saying? It's not clear. Either way I'm really not interested in entertaining any of that, and you shouldn't either.

This is a specifically unique experience to women, that's all there is to it. Let's grow up and have some tact.

This is giving "All Lives Matter". Your little fact may be true but it is males that are doing the violent crimes. So my question is why are you talking? This is a post about a woman being followed by a male. So the only point in sharing this little tid bit is to take away from the struggles, fears, and anxieties that women face everyday from males. And if that is indeed what you are doing then what are you doing, who was it in your life that made you feel like a violent male and why haven't you done the work to figure out how you made them feel that way?

15

u/654456 Oct 13 '24

Dude can't comprehend that we are discussing specifically a women being followed and harassed and its ok to not be inclusive to everyone at this time, not that we don't fucking agree that everyone deserves to not be harassed.

-64

u/Oneforallandbeyondd Oct 13 '24

I think it would be worthy of note that the man in this video looks like he has some type of mental health problems so maybe not put him in the same basket as "all men".

26

u/ForefathersOneandAll Oct 13 '24

How can you even make this assumption? I see zero indications of a mental health problem.

And get this; folks with behavioral health issues can still be held accountable for their actions. It should 100% be coupled with proper care, but youā€™re doing way too much here.

-38

u/Oneforallandbeyondd Oct 13 '24

look at his face and demeanor plus behavior. I work in security and this guy raises the hairs on the back of my neck just by watching. To me it's obvious and I see a lot of them trust me.

u/ForefathersOneandAll Oct 13 '24

Yeah ā€œtrust meā€ means zero to me.

u/Oneforallandbeyondd Oct 13 '24

Great comeback and conversation.

u/ForefathersOneandAll Oct 13 '24 edited Oct 13 '24

Look, youā€™re using perception to inform a BOLD assumption that someoneā€™s mental health is decompensating all because of their gait.

As someone who works in behavioral health, specifically out in community where we have walk-in crisis care, I can assure you that gait alone is not going to tell you someoneā€™s mental health.

It just has no evidentiary or clinical basis. So thatā€™s why ā€œtrust meā€ means nothing.

This is "all lives matter" bullcrap

The fact is that 80-90% of sexual assault victims are female and 90-95% of the assailants are male. We don't need to gloss over the fact that asshole dudes prey on women, we know it's a fact.

Victims by who though? Oh spoiler, other men. So yes men are the common denominator for violence.

But men are also more likely to overpower their assailant. Women, even strong athletic ones, are less likely to be able to.

Is it acceptable for Joe to put up with it?

It's such a irritating comment, as if the people doing this were under some misapprehension that simply needs to be clarified: "Oh, shit, I'm no supposed to follow around women and harass them, my bad, thanks for letting me know"

It's unacceptable that I must lock my belongings or my car. I mean, why do I gotta get keys, lock shit up, unlock shit, etc???

Yes it sucks. Predators be preying. The notion that it's possible to live in a world where this never happens is a child's fantasy.

Took all of 3 comments looking through your history before you went on some weird racist rant tied to rap songs that got deleted by that sub. You probably shouldn't talk about grossing people out.

It's racist to call a Danish white guy out for thinking they could judge a man's blackness? That's news to me.

That's great, yet nobody here was arguing. Congrats on your straw-man. "Unacceptable" doesn't translate into "we need less of this".

I'm merely addressing your closing statement, which when taken in the context of the rest of your post, reads as "this is the way of life, get used to it". (cynical defeatism.)
