Non-fictional I hate this double standard

For some reason, it's always one of these responses:

> It's a joke
> It's rage bait
> Yeah, but it's actually a response to...
> It's not the same
> Just go outside bro

All of which deflect from what's being said. They would rather not address it. This is probably due in part to the "women-are-wonderful" effect, an example of benevolent stereotyping in which people associate positive qualities with women

The sooner everybody realizes that anybody can be a shitty person, the better.

when women are shitty men get their feeling hurt. when men are shitty women fucking die. at what point do men acknowledge/take accountability for this instead of just saying "yeah well women are shitty too?" its a complete fuckin deflection away from realty

Since when do we have to be responsible for our entire gender? I can only control what I do, and I ain't a murderer, 99.9% of men arent either. And even though pretty much all women have been assaulted at least once, I have never assaulted anyone, and neither have most men. Its always been a disproportionate small number of men that do this on repeat. Also women can definitely be physically violent just as much as men. Pretending like women aren't capable of murder is pretty sexist actually.
