Venting I absolutely HATE the narrative that a woman committing a crime ‘sets women back hundreds of years’
Because there is absolutely NOTHING that men could do that would make society go ‘this is setting men back’, ‘men should lose the right to vote’, etc. Committing 99% of rapes? Not all men. Being over 95% of family annihilators? They’re individuals, you can’t judge all men for the actions of a few.
Society would never even dream of taking men’s rights away, because men’s rights aren’t negotiable. Doesn’t matter if 99% of men woke up tomorrow and decided to commit mass murder, they’re still deserving of rights.
Imagine if women were the ones who committed 98% of mass shootings, for example. It wouldn’t even be a question to these misogynists that all women should lose access to firearms and be stripped of their rights immediately. But as always, because mass shooters are pretty much always male, they’re treated as individuals, not as a representative of their entire gender.
This goes for literally every crime in existence. A man commits a horrific act? Not all men. A woman commits a horrific act? ALL women are evil and can’t be trusted. We’re seeing this being played out with Lindsay Clancy. Apparently women are no longer safe to be around children. Let’s just ignore the fact that men make up 80% of child killers. They don’t even try to hide their hypocrisy anymore, it’s exhausting.
