Reply to comment by blondiemandie38 in Police: Stamford woman sexually assaulted teen, gave alcohol to minors by jaydecay123

Seriously lol. “Grown man offers underage teenage girls alcohol at beach, lures one into the bathroom to sexually molest them”, people would be calling for the guy’s head

No they wouldn't. It happens all the time. The only reason why headlines like these get your attention is because it's a woman doing it to males.

Men finally can point the finger and act like a saint.

I'm not saying what she did was right. It was a really wrong thing to do, period.

To assume that I only care because “Look, look, women bad also haha!” is possibly the most insulting thing I’ve ever read about myself on Reddit. Any other generalizations you would like to throw out?

Wow. I'm going to now assume you're a male then? Or associate as being one?

You, my dear neighbor, made a comment that was extremely generalized and grossly incorrect. My one snarky comment got yourself all insulted? To generalize that most of the men commenting on this isn't at least partially, deep down, a little relieved to finally share that "shame on" you spotlight with a female? Honestly, I would be at least a little bit and I wouldn't blame a single male that did. What do I take issue with is making comments that are grossly understating what a female has to deal with every single day and how they have been raised in this society and how they are dealt with.

Just because it happens all the time doesn’t mean the comment section wouldn’t be different.

The comment sections are generally what is made safe by the overriding group. Doesn’t mean it’s correct. Are we supposed to just let people spread propaganda and shrug our shoulders?

What are you even talking about? there would be more outcry if the victim was a girl

Extra_Mango_8547 t1_jdf6sxb wrote

Explain that to me. Also, explain to me if the female was a male. And the victims remain male. I’m not seeing those huge stories that literally happen every 👏single👏day👏

If one thing happens more than the other doesn’t mean it’s worse. Most men don’t report sexual assault. I was touched by my baby sitter but I have never told anyone. This is the first time I am actually talking about it online because it’s Reddit and it’s anonymous in a sense that my pic and name is not on my profile. Most men just don’t report it because “You are a man so be a man”. I have also been asked for sex inappropriately at work and nobody knows it except for me and 2 of my coworkers who were there. So you 👏 don’t 👏 hear it 👏 everyday 👏 because most men don’t report it. There I explained it. Btw in my case both suspects were women not men.

Thank you. Thank you for sharing that. I know more men that have be sexually assaulted than I would have imagined in my normal day to day life. It’s horrifying. I’ve talked (anonymously) with men that wanted a young girl. It’s scary how many people have been traumatized at an early age, regardless of being male or female. It’s something that shouldn’t be normalized. This awful behavior transcends male or female. My only point is that the happy band wagon of comments saying if it was a man doing it to girls we would all be mad. I’m mad regardless of genders. No one should victimize another for their own pleasure against someone else’s. Can’t we all stop throwing stones at each other on this topic and turn our attention to people (regardless of sex) that take advantage of children period?

I agree with you.

Thank you. This is obviously triggering for anyone that’s dealt with something like this. Doesn’t matter sex. It happens. Doesn’t mean it’s okay either way. I appreciate you.

You’d be a lot easier to agree with without this part…it reads pretty misandrist.

> misandrist

Oh no! I wouldn't want to hurt any feelings here.

Men don't point fingers, because they are saints.

Women overreact about everything. They're all crazy and sex hungry and on their periods, hunting down young men for prey!

Is that easier to read? Because it seems like this feed is full of that. We don't want to correct people when their speaking nonsense, it's just easier to hit the vote buttons.

This is a funny way to react to a comment that sought to correct some nonsense…but I guess I’ll vote for good measure too.

Wait? You were correcting something? When?

Careless or, perhaps, accidental misandry in your earlier comment.

But now I also feel the need to correct your misplaced anger…I’m just trying to help strengthen your argument by cleaning up distractions.

I get the sense you make your own life hard. Well, you do you.

It's actually not hard at all...and yet you keep judging me. I'm angry, I am careless with my words, my life is hard. I appreciate your projections and/or your creativeness in all of this. I would possibly recommend some time meditating on what's so troubling for you. I find this quite curious.
