You do realize there are harms other than rape? You sure don’t seem to get that. You think rape is the only tragedy that can befall a woman.

I am no creep. But I am pissed that you think that the mere fact I have a penis means I’m some awful rapist women should be afraid of.

But you know what, since bears are so safe, why don’t you go have a nice encounter with a hungry mother grizzly.

Lemmy is so much nicer since I discovered tags.

changes the subject because he has no retort.

No, it's simply the one we were talking about at the moment. That and how women seem to prefer death by bear than trusting many men, and how guys like you are making that logic seem pretty fucking sound every response lol.

You realize men rape other men too right?

So you know, I'd actually pick the bear myself. Because THERE'S STILL NO HISTORY OF BEARS RAPING PEOPLE - MEN OR WOMEN.

Bellend.

The word used is safety, not rape. No subject changed.

I posit that women are marginally safer in the woods with a bear.

Tell you what, if you can show me a single incident where a bear kidnapped and caged a women and raped her violently for years, I'll reconsider.

[–] derf82@lemmy.world -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've been through this. People rarely encounter bears. They encounter men all the time. Of course there is more violence from men, but I would argue more surprise encounters with bears end badly than encounters with men. And rape is hardly the only violence that can befall a woman.

But why bother? All of us men are disgusting rapists, apparently. Guess I should be like Shrek and retire to my swamp if everyone will just be afraid of me. Too bad I don't actually have one.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

or you could be the kind of guy that didn't question women based on their decisions, but based upon the dystopia we live in mate.

you think this is about you. If you're not a rapist piece of trash, then you're mistaken. But the world is full of people who put women in fear of their safety, it's real, and your derision of it is sad.
