The first like, 2 days was good

then it fucking went off the wall

What was it about

Essentially it was a whole bunch of people sharing their sexual abuse stories and a lot of accusations against a lot hollywood and business moguls that actually resulted in some court cases

Mhm?

and then it became an exclusionary tool against men who have suffered sexual and emotional abuse

yea?

my friend told me it was basically a movement about abuse n stuff then whenever men said their stories they said it was impossible

And like fucking everything out of a hashtag it devolved into a bunch of tiny bickering factions and lost all credibility

mind you this happened in like a week

That's ridiculous, men get raped too. No one should be silenced

volume of words child

I know

And if you bring up men also experiencing rape you get the whole "but women get raped more" argument

Oh God

Yeah anonymous polling has shown that men are abused and raped at a significantly higher rate than is reported

I hate that

I don’t say that

I wasn't saying you did, this is generally speaking

But some one I was arguing with did say men get raped more I didn’t wanna be that person but I just corrected them 😂😂

Yeah, but they're silenced because they have to "be a man" or they're accused of enjoying it

And another thing is US and even EU law is very weird about rape

Like in the Twittersphere and shit like that

Then being called gay

No

I believe it’s toxic masculinity

Like "made to penetrate" really isn't a legal definition even though its very much so rape

men are afraid to do half the stuff because they are scared of something I forgot what it was 😭

I believe its intense societal pressure on men to be stoic and closed off

and toxic masculinity borderlines a farce anyways

Its such a stupid fucking concept

The point is that both genders can get raped and that steps to support both sides need to be made, it shouldn't be another competition in the oppression olympics

Well said

"Lets take all these toxic behaviors and attribute it to men and masculinity and then insult men for being masculine while attributing lots of positive behaviors to femininity and say men need to be more feminine"

Societal pressure to be stoic? How?

Huhhhh

Its literally language tricks

That’s what I’m sayinggg

And if you *do* treat it as a competition then that kind of shows you don't actually give a shit about the problem, or at the very least are misguided as hell.

Exactly, soup. It's just so contradictory

It shouldn’t be a competition which gender gets raped more because in the end it’s traumatizing for both genders and should be handled
