Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting" - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

Fifty different men. He also trained these men how to rape their wives.

I can't imagine wanting/needing to rape my wife. There are so many layers to that I don't even know where to begin wrapping my brain around it.

I dated a woman who badly wanted me to roleplay raping her. I knew I could never get into it, and if that's what she wants she should be able to have it I guess, so I broke up with her instead.

I dated one of those long-distance once and it was really fucking weird. We would have phone sex and she would want me to talk about myself raping her. I tried it once or twice and I was so bad at it that she stopped asking me to phone rape her. Last I checked she moved across the country to probably get fake-raped by another internet boyfriend of hers.

“okay but women not wanting to date men is just overreacting” - a sentiment we see even here on fucking Lemmy.

We've dodged a lot of the usual garbage from Reddit over here, but that one definitely stuck around. The only negative comments I've received on any of my lemmy accounts are guys furious when you point out men are more violent partners. Like they just cannot admit that as a society the 'boys will be boys' mentality was used to allow a lot of awful behaviours like rape. Hell, Revenge of The Nerds has a rape scene in it and people only recently started to speak out against it.

So, sorry for the downvotes, but at least we all know it's a bunch of insecure men. Maybe they'll learn, maybe they won't, but you have allies here in the mean time.

I was thinking it really wasn't that bad on here as you described, but I just read some other comments under this post and I was dead wrong. Disappointing.

EDIT: The other comments seem to have been removed

The irony of people downvoting this... Can't see the forest through the trees. Or more accurately, can't see further than the tips of their dicks.

[–] BossDj@lemm.ee 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They're still confused why women chose the bear.

[–] AnxiousOtter@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Ya. I'm a man and I'd also 100% choose the bear.

If you dictate such a profound life decision based on some bizarre cause célèbre, you are overreacting. If you just make reactionary comments on the Internet, sure, carry on.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say
