It’s funny how when a random guy makes a sexist comment or does a horrible crime tumblr social justice folk are all like “misogyny!” “all men are scum” “neckbeards!” yet when there’s a girl who does something awful like molesting/murdering her child or beating her husband or whatever and people say “see? women can do awful things, too” they’re all “that’s just a single person!”
Gotta love the “patriarchy” and irony.
I agree, violence and rape shouldn’t be trivialized no matter whom they are toward. We should still note that the vast majority of abusers and rapists are male, and female abusers and rapists are kind of rare — however, we as feminists should still do all we can to help males who are abused or raped because showing no sympathy for their cause enforces the patriarchal idea that men should just “take it like men” or “can’t be raped”.
