Isn't it strange how every woman knows someone who's been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

Random Old Memes and ✨Stuff✨

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Statistically, I probably know multiple harassers, but none of them have admitted it to me.
The idea that men go through life without ever witnessing rape culture really is fantastical, I wish I could subscribe to this self imposed illusion!
That’s one of the things that bothers me. It’s so normalized, I probably have witnessed some form of abuse, but didn’t even recognize it as such.
There is no question that you have, and probably will again, but making yourself aware of what it looks like and being willing to speak up or step in is the only way to counter that (and is intimately more effective than trying to cling to "not all men" like so many others).
Yeah. It took me a while (too long, tbh) to realize that not being an active part of the problem wasn’t enough. I need to watch for it, and call people out.
Hell, everyone does. We know better. There’s just no excuse for letting it continue.
It's not an illusion. The men that perform this harassment generally know they're wrong and therefore keep it secret.
I don't know anyone who's sexually assaulted/harassed a woman because I'm very open about how that's not fucking okay. If I find out someone has it'll either lead to violence or cutting them out of my life completely
And another one misses the point .
And another one gone, and another one gone, another one misses the point...
You're doing this a lot in this thread what is your actual point.
Try figuring it out on your own time
