@imbl @QasimRashid your willful ignorance is staggering. Trump got 77 million votes. Lots of reliable exit polls tell us what the percentages were that you've seen Most white women again voted for Trump. Most have never voted for anyone who is not a thuggish, sexist white man similar to Trump. White women are the biggest demographic by race & sex, 37% of the electorate. Going back generations, right-wing women consistently vote against law enforcement for violence against women.
@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid ignorance? friend i just asked a question, i was having trouble finding information. would an ignorant person ask for help learning things?
my point still stands tho. men are the biggest driver of violence against women. yeah, some women enable that and of course fascism is bad no matter what gender the fascist is. and also men are overwhelmingly a danger to women

@QasimRashid Ok, I need to know what to with this information.
I am a male and have never hurt a woman.
Do you want me to self quarantine for the rest of my life in order to make women feel safe? -

@imbl @QasimRashid you just asked a question to an immigrant born & raised in hunger and poverty in a 3rd world country thousands of miles from the USA. You asked me to be your secretary for info you should have memorized years ago. 40 million women ain't "some women". It's "the majority of white women and a whole lot of non-black women of color". Stop minimizing what racist women are doing as they destroy our democracy and protect pedophile rapists. Shame on you.

Quite a few Jews voted for Adolf Hitler.
WTF. This is a straight out Holocaust Denial talking point, and is completely false. While a tiny minority of Jews - such as those belonging to verband nationaldeutscher Juden (a group whose membership never exceeded a few thousand) - supported the NSDP early on - and was noncommittal 1932, it was clear that by 1933 with the enabling act even the staunchest Jewish assimilationists rejected the party and its goals.
I have no idea why you feel the need to try to blame women for their own oppression or Jews for theirs, but it certainly says something.

we are not asking you to hold yourself responsible for what other men do.you could talk to friends and family about it. you could support the women you know, so they know you are a man who. is aware of the problem. you could serve as a positive mentor to young men thru volunteer work, or by not being a toxic presence around women.
you do not need to resort to histrionic threats of self-flagellation in order to try to help correct this problem.
JFC.

the number one cause of death for pregnant women in the US is homicide. it's been that way for years.
truly, domestic violence is a massive problem that cuts across all sectors of US society

@jonesmurphy @QasimRashid What's your point? All women deserve it because 8% of them make poor choices?

read what I wrote, Adolf.
uhhhh did you even bother looking at my profile before you just Nazijacketed a Jewish person or
@YKantRachelRead @jonesmurphy@mastodon.social @QasimRashid I suspect he said that because, not despite, checking your bio. I saw that and thought "fuck this guy, blocked"
-
@YKantRachelRead wow i really didnt expect "the trans jewish woman is a nazi for feminism" quite that fast holy shit are men okay

@QasimRashid I'm glad you posted this and I'm also pissed that women have been saying this all along and no one listens to us
Most women learn the hard truth early on, that men can't be trusted not entirely. If you're not a man or perceived as a man, you're in danger. Even men in your family are not safe
Anyone reading this that replies with a variation of 'not all men' will be blocked with no reply. Instead of whining maybe go do something useful like tell your man buddies to stop harming women -
@YKantRachelRead @QasimRashid yeah, it's completely off topic. Sorry you had to deal with that fool

@QasimRashid
Another example of Qasim's pathetic engagement farming. The capitalist system, which he will never address, is inherently sexist and the hierarchy requires someone to be picked on who's considered lower on the pecking order. Women and minorities have conveniently always been in this catagory.
The USSR-Communist Russia-which everyone on mastodon vilifies with ignorant Russophobia, always considered women as equals and important. That's why the US goal has been to destroy Russia. -

Same things you do any time you learn about human horribleness:
• sit with it for a while, and take time to grieve both the victims and your own lost innocence as needed
• consult family and close friends about it, to see if/how you can improve your own behaviors
• remain aware of it, and keep it in mind when interacting with others
• leverage your own privileges to intervene if/when you see it happening in the real world -

@QasimRashid The picture is so dire.
I don’t know what to do, except raising my sons to respect everyone equally, and raising my daughters to be comfortable with enforcing their limits.

@QasimRashid Well Some Men Anyway
@billjryan @QasimRashid all men benefit from male supremacy, and one of male supremacy's main enforcement arms is violence against women. so, yes, all men.
