Very triggered by a supposed "comrade" asking women if they fear men and why. Is it not common knowledge that women have many reasons to fear men? Up to 70% of women have experienced sexual assault. 147 women are killed by partners EVERY DAY.
At least 200 million girls and women have had their genitals mutilated. Around 15 million teenage girls have been raped. Girls and women are 72% of human trafficking victims.
The overwhelming majority of these crimes are committed by men.
You might say, "not me, i would never". Thats great. But Its impossible for us to know that. Statistically, any man poses a potential threat to me as a woman.
Now, i dont personally fear every man. But im wary of men i dont know, and thats pretty fucking reasonable.
Also wanna mention how youre treated after assault and abuse: youre not trusted, you get blamed for it, you get no justice. I have yet to see an online discussion on rape where a man didnt say "women can rape too". They can. Its not common enough to be an everyday risk, though.
I dont trust men i dont know until proven otherwise. Male comrades, i DO trust until proven otherwise. Socialism cant be achieved without women, and an end to oppression cant be achieved without socialism. My comrades know this and I love them. Communism will win. Ok thanks bye.
