    I understand the your body my choice rhetoric is incredibly volatile, but it doesnt automatically mean its coming from a substantial group of men across the country.

    A news article about something doesnt mean its widespread or representative of men in general.

      Ofc not, neither are men who rape, and yet here we are. In addition, here we are back to Reddit (that didn’t take long) with “not all men” in regard to anything potentially dangerous for women where men are involved, thus minimizing the greater problem in the name of stating something we all know as truth already. No one is talking about you or any man not involved in this behavior, why would you think they are? They’re only talking about men who say “your body, my choice”. By inserting yourself into that narrative regarding the bad “your body, my choice” men narrative, you derail it to talk about yourself instead of the problem at hand. If you’re not that guy, not saying or typing that phrase in earnest, then no one is referencing you.

      I don’t even think rapists are men, they’re more akin to rabid dogs, but saying dogs in that context would just confuse the topic.

        Okay if its about men who say that, why are the news articles about boys saying it.

        And no this isnt rape. Rape is rape. Shit talk is shit talk or whatever you want to call it.

        The point I’m making is that people shouldnt assume a story has merit simply because its being written about in a news paper. They aren’t choosing stories based on merit, they are picking them based on revenue.

        Its telling that most of the stories leave out Nick Fuentes name, or else people wouldnt click it because they know thats his schtick to begin with.
