What if I refute your premise and say that feminism is the problem - not misogynism?
"I hate how this discussion is gravitating towards "how fragile/vulnerable ALL women are and they should be treated with the utmost care.
1 idiot did this but all men are being painted with the samwe brush.
Yes there are some misogynistic men out there but we cant vilify ALL men.
I feel like men will be pushed under the bus, due to this saga.
We teach little girls, they are equal BUT forget to mention that they get special treatment from society, which can lead to them becoming entitled.
Little boys are taught to respect females BUT are we going to tell them the truth?
Never agrue with a female or you will feel the backlash of society."
Oh please. Stop overreacting already. No one is claiming all women are fragile and vulnerable. Nor is anyone claiming all men are abusive. NO ONE IS SAYING ALL MEN OR ALL SA FOR THAT MATTER ARE ABUSIVE. What I'm saying is that there is a major problem in this country when it comes to the abuse of women and children. That man's behaviour was over the top. He should not have behaved in such a manner toward a woman. If he had also cussed her back fine, but to threaten violence? How was she going to fair in a physical confrontation with him? Why did he feel violence was his only response? And judging by some of the comments here, he's not the only man who would have reacted in a violent way toward her. It's a problem. Let's admit and do something about it.
So we have assumed with certainty that her child started the hitting? Evidence? Or does that count for nothing like the fact that this guy has a history of violence. A fact I see everyone chooses to flat out ignore
Ancalagon; said:Tell me how your sexism against men will help end sexism against women?
The same thing that's the cause now? Biology.So what was the cause of all the violence against women before feminism was ever a thing?
oh yes, Ive already mentioned it too without realizing. what about her verbal assault on him?
racists freaking out because its white vs black.
sexist freaking out because its female vs male.
all she had to do was apologise and none of this would have happened.
An example of why men tend to get focuses on when it comes to violent crime, these states from the state of Victoria in Australia...
No one is saying that most men are guilty of these things, just that at the moment, in modern society, the vast majority of people who do commit these crimes are men.
The same thing that's the cause now? Biology.
Feminism makes the problem worse because it attacks the biology, rather than using biology for a common benefit.
I'm talking about the abuse of women and children and why a lot of males in SA feel it's okay to resort to violence against women.
This is now. Long term this a recipe for disaster with more and more men requiring right-wing influences to fight against the onslaught. A return to machismo is not off the table and everyone seems to be pushing for it.
Apologise for? Kids being kids? At that point nobody even knew which kid started it.
You know how people say that Muslim extremism is a problem for Muslims people to deal with (there is a whole thread here about it) and how it's said that moderate Muslims must speak out and publicly take a stand against extremism or their silence can be considered part of the problem?
It's the same thing here. It may be true that most men are not violent and rapists , or even misogynist, but unless all men recognise this is a problem for men to deal with and unless good men speak out and publicly take a stand against misogyny, things will not change. A man supports 'small' misogynistic tendencies, who laughs at misogynistic jokes, for example, men who never stand up publicly against this problem, who always try to defend or justify such behaviour are part of the problem. Silence is just as much a part of the problem as blatant support of male violence in society.
So if it's down to Biology and not society, please explain why some societies are massively more violent than others? And also please explain why modern societies are generally a lot less violent than those from say 1000 years ago?
Where is all this happening? I don't see this amongst colleagues, friends, acquaintances.
so you don't think testosterone and aggression is linked.. lol
Well then you'd have to provide evidence for your refutation. Seems unlikely considering that the countries where women have the most rights and a better chance of being treated fairly are also those countries with a history of feminism. You can also look at how the lives of women have improved post feminism compared to those same societies prior to feminismWhat if I refute your premise and say that feminism is the problem - not misogynism?
Of course there is a link, but thinking human beings are not always slaves to their biology.
