It's not about guilt, it's about the reality of propaganda radicalizing the population.

Of course not everyone in any of those countries is mindrotten, but that's like , it's not about the individual, but the "culture".

I don't know if I agree with radical policies like what the parent comment proposes though.

I don't disagree that both men and women do heinous things, but women don't almost never physically attack or kill a man when he shuns her advances, but men absolutely attack women every day for shunning a man's advances, and sometimes women get straight up murdered for it.

, but enough men that many women choose the bear.

No, and I don't know how you're getting that from what I've said.

In the scenario there is a hypothetical man and a hypothetical bear. There's no reason to self-insert oneself as the man, except as an excuse to get outraged in a fashion. A (real, non-hypothetical) man taking offense to the answer by assuming they are being indicted is just showing his own narcissism by making the hypothetical about himself.

My husband calls in the middle of this and I told him I usually don't see these sort of shit takes here and then I remember I'd been browsing ALL, for crying out loud. Go to see what fucking community it was... and it's memes! My bad even commenting here probably, but complaining that memes don't adequately capture the whole picture and may not be the best way to address the issue seems a little.. I dunno but something - here in the literal meme community.

Y'all ain't being thrown under the bus. My husband gets it. He is also an ally to women. But y'all ain't there "standing up in solidarity with women" when we are being molested, raped, or murdered. These things happen to women ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME. You weren't there in solidarity with me any of the times when I was actually harmed, but when I have something to say about how scary men can actually be, you are here to stand against me. Or at best, get me to think of your feelings instead of my own safety.

I would also prefer guys who are not rapists to stand up in solidarity with women against the rapists, instead of being thrown under the bus with the rest of the women that make men feel uncomfortable by reminding them of the things that actually happen in women's lives.
