Memes that seem to just demonize men?

[Iggy Wolf]

Is it me, or are there more posts lately on social media, that constantly seem to try to make a point about women's safety and how men as a collective are responsible, and that any time ANY man complains, they are seen as "part of the problem" and the reason for said women needing to be safe in the first place? I don't get how the average man is somehow responsible for what a murderer or rapist would do.

It's not like black people go around blaming white people in general for the racists or the cops who shoot black people on sight. It's understood that it's certainly a social problem, that requires systemic change, but that does NOT mean that somehow an entire gender or race has a "collective responsibility" to change the behavior of BAD PEOPLE. THAT'S WHY THEY'RE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BAD PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE! THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT BEING GOOD OR DOING THE RIGHT THING!!

The only thing these stupid memes ever accomplish is dividing men and women based on the behaviors of IMMORAL and SOCIOPATHIC individuals. Yes, let's blame "all men" and "all white people" for all the immoral scum of society because we apparently haven't done enough as a collective in order to somehow "fix" the problematic elements.

Last I checked, no one was being blamed for social failures and that they failed to do their "collective duty" to make everyone a more "moral and decent" human being. Personal accountability. The ONLY person you're responsible for is YOURSELF. I'm tired of this "victim-hood mentality BS" that I think a lot of people are starting to get aggravated by. But I am curious what everyone else thinks.

Memes?

Just watch television commercials. That's all they do.

I don't know where you source your memes -- but they're obviously not the dank ones.

Just you. Sometime's. And it's hard, you just have you accept that you have a small unit.

It isn't fair by any means, but that's just how life is. I recommend dating in religious circles where they do not have sex before marriage

I don't have social media but I wouldn't take it seriously.

The meme of the Left can't meme, is a meme that is the perfect example of what a meme should be.

If you can't meme. Stop. Get some help.

As if somehow Iggy is unique to her. You realize that usernames aren't representative of people's actual names? But if you are going to call yourself "The Troll King", you have to expect that some people are gonna think you're trolling. Hell, you might be doing it right now.

I was just making a wide reference.... Like my name is a wide reference to a childrens book called "The Troll King" -cough-

See no evil, hear no evil, or something like that.

That's fair enough. But Poe's Law and all that. There's enough people who would troll without knowing whether they are or not.

I mean my profile picture is even of the book... It's a cool book. I like it as a kid.

With how many people there are on the world, there inevitable are going to people like you describe. I've personally seen tweets claiming that "men should be born in prison and prove their way out"

But the thing is that all because things like that are happening, doesn't really mean that it's an epidemic. For instance, 80% of tweets come from only 10% of users as of 2018.[www.pewresearch.org] How can those man hating tweets I mentioned before possibly make up a majority of how people think when twitter's userbase is inherently a minority?

That actually proves another point. The over exaggeration of how prolific such a mentality is vs how people ACTUALLY think in real life and everyday society. Everyone has a mother figure or at least one female family member in their family. And chances are, they can say with absolute certainly that their female relative never experienced such danger or concern for safety or a generalized belief that somehow men on average are inherently dangerous or anything.

But looking at statistics, social media, and television, would give this perception that 1 in 4 men are dangerous lunatics. It ends up being more and looking like an "agenda" to push a certain mentality rather than consider the actual statistics and real life occurrences of people who have found themselves in such unfortunate circumstances. Are there women who had such experiences? Sure. Do they actually represent 80-90% of women in society though? Probably not. Not anymore than the average black person being a "thug", "drug dealer" or "gangster" just because the news media paints them as such.

And people wonder why men no longer help women in distress. Men are so vilified now, anything we do is seen as toxic masculinity even if our intentions are good.
