    You can pretend like this isn’t a common thing amongst a wide swath of men, but you’re wrong. It’s not just Americans.

    There’s a lot of sexist and misogynistic views that are not only allowed to be kept up on Lemmy, but are highly upvoted and supported by the men here.

    Some men do normalize this and the comment sections do reflect it often.

        I could point out the comments calling a rape victim hot in the womensstuff community if you’d like.

        I just posted an article you might find illuminating. Groups of men collaborating online to masturbate and cum on women in public to humiliate them.

        They use online forums to bolster and lift each other up, encouraging each other to violate women for their own satisfaction and then share with the group.

          You said on Lemmy. Using an obscure internet forum to push the narrative that all men support it is ridiculous.

            Again, I could pull the comments about how hot a rape victim is from the womensstuff community if you’d like.

            I know there’s quite a few users here that I could easily find comments joking about rape and threatening to rape someone. I’ve got some in my own DMs!

            Or the comments in shitposting about how naturally consensual 14 year olds are.

              Sure show me the comment. I am expecting many upvotes and the comment not being deleted.

              The only blatant rape apologia I have seen on Lemmy was when Graham Platner raped a Republican woman but even the female valiant allies of women like Emma Vigeland were totally on board with that so clearly not a men problem either.

                There was a lot of rape apologia when it was known Platner raped multiple women, not just the Republican.

                Thanks for reminding me to pull comments from there as well.

                  Just for fun I checked if you posted about Platner raping the Republican woman and I cannot find anything about it. Only when the Democrat was raped did you start posting about it.

                  How very convenient.

                    I wasn’t even really on Lemmy when the Republican woman came forward, this isn’t the gotcha you think it is lol

                    Not posting about something is a far cry from encouraging men to sexually assault and rape women. Why are you comparing the two?
