Trigger Warning Sexual Abuse - Tumblr Posts
'but what about women????!!!!' we get it, you hate men and think they don't have valid issues. please get out of the nuanced gender discussion and go back to your elementary school playground shenanigans lookin ass group of man hating 'feminists'
Fun Fact!
Did you know you can talk about the discriminations that men go through WITHOUT saying women aren't discriminated against?
Men, whether cis or trans, should be able to talk about the discrimination they face in some circumstances (especially their suicide rates) without someone hopping into the conversation and saying "BUT WHAT ABOUT WOMEN?!"
Yes, women have problems, but we can't act like they're the ONLY people who have problems.
Male suicide rates are something to be concerned about! 22.8 out of 100,000 is still a lot! That's 75,924 out of 333mil people (the population of the USA in 2022) committing suicide! Female suicide rates are SIGNIFICANTLY lower at only 5.7 out of 100,000. That's 18,981 out of 333mil people. Still a lot of people! But, evidently something is affecting men more here, and that needs to be addressed!
And if someone brings up how often women are raped? We don't truly know the actual statistics of either gender because rape goes SEVERELY UNDERREPORTED BY BOTH GENDERS! But male victims of rape (in my personal experience) are taken less seriously, ESPECIALLY if their rapist was a woman, getting comments like "Wow, you were so lucky! I wish I could bang her," or "Don't lie, men can't be raped! You probably liked it anyways!"
I speak as a rape survivor myself who is AFAB and transmasc, who suffered severe social isolation and several suicide attempts after I mentioned to my friends I was raped, AS A CHILD (my rapist was just a month younger than me), and most of my friends took the side of my rapist.
Let people talk about the discrimination they face without being made fun of.
