  • There’s a comedian who told a story, that I feel almost every guy can tell as if it was theirs…

    They had that friend in their friends group. You know, the kne always making misogynic jokes etc. Well, yeah, that guy eventually raped someone.

    You know where he says it was his, the comedian’s, fault? The whole group always laughed at those jokes, or maybe didn’t laugh, but definitely didn’t dismiss them, didn’t lecture the guy, didn’t tell him it was not ok.

    There’s this men’s club where misogyny is an accepted business as usual. And it enables deranged individuals.

    So, as a man who’s aware of the statistics, you can start doing some prevention: shame other men for misogyny.

    Oh, and btw, fuck the lady with sign. She’s a petty sexist using someone’s tragedy to support her hate for men.


  • And so, what’s the course of action? To give all men some sterilization treatment?

    How does this help with anything?

    And, I promise you, the real numbers are probably scarily equal, just like with domestic abuse. Because men are definitely taught to never come forward with those.

    But even if the true ratio was 1:50, what’s the solution? Let’s write the law that when it’s a man, he gets a double prison sentence. Or maybe the police shouldn’t believe men who say they were assaulted, but vise-versa barely check, cuz for sure it’s true?

    Criminal statistics should in no way enforce the course of justice or legislation. They could only maybe influence where money is allocated in prevention campaigns. At best.






  • Yes, I’m familiar with that part of your legislation.

    Approximately everyone else here except for you sees AfD as a target for banning because “they’re radical far right”. No, sorry, bad idea.

    Even banning an anti-democracy party at first might be a bad idea. Better go figure out why is anyone voting for them.

    Banning an anti-democracy party is an absolute last-resort measure. It only exists in Germany because this is how Hitler came to power, so the idea is to prevent that scenario from repeating. I can see the point, however it is yet to be proven that such bans would actually help preserve the democratic order.


  • Oh yeah, that last implication certainly is full of polite implying. I’m honored.

    You know what I see? Someone who’s afraid that their world order will change. And their solution is “lock them up while we’re in the majority”.

    You know what I also see? A failed German re-unification, extreme arrogance of the west Germans towards east Germans, a bouquet of additional socio-economical problems that have been ignored for decades. And a consequent voters’ revolt.

    And their solution? Tell all those angry people that they’re nazi and their problems will continue being ignored. I’m sure that will solve it.

    The party in question, AfD, is fuckin scary. They, in fact, are openly nazi. And, yet, I promise you, banning them and continuing to ignore the underlying issues will only make things worse.
