Alright, let's change the figure to a million. A million cookies, and one is cyanide. Still wanna try one?
And by 'a few' do you mean, like six I could find easily on a Google search in five minutes, plus whichever other ones I could dig up if I had the time and resources? Also, let's just ignore all those men on the 'MRA' websites, shall we? Let's just ignore all those YouTube comments and other commentary
supporting Elliott Rodgers, because their opinions aren't scary and exactly what Elliot Rodgers was saying at all, are they? Yeah, let's ignore all of them.
As for, 'he was deranged'? Uh, no. There's no scientific evidence to say he was deranged. If you're implying he committed the crime because he was mentally ill, please explain to me how there are a significant number of mentally ill people in the world today who have not murdered six people :l. It's kind of ableist to imply that mental illness = murder. I won't deny mental illness is often a
factor, but I refuse to pin all the blame on mental illness, as that would be pretty much the same as saying my friend Kirsty is going to murder somebody because she's autistic :l.
And, as I've stated before, I'm not implying nor stating that all men are pigs. Please try and read my posts carefully, okay
? I'd be disappointed if you got the wrong impression because you were too hasty to defend yourself.
No, I do not believe all men are pigs until proven otherwise. What I do believe?
'All men are dangerous until proven otherwise.'
Just like I believe 'All dogs are dangerous until proven otherwise.'
I apologize for comparing males to dogs - I mean no offence by comparing you to a non-sentient species, nor do I mean to demean your intelligence in any which way. The only aspect of dogs and men I am trying to compare is how dangerous you are until proven otherwise.
As for your last statement, 'Men should not have to prove we aren't psychopaths,'
Well, yeah, that's true. Unfortunately, things don't always work out the way they should.
Like, y'know, those six people getting murdered really shouldn't have been.
But they were.
I really do wish for a world where I can walk alone at 10pm at night, and not fear getting assaulted. I really do wish for a world where I could reject a man by simply saying 'I don't find you attractive,' instead of fearing his reaction and instead saying 'I have a boyfriend.'
And, I agree. The vast majority of you aren't.
Let me return again to the cookie analogy. A million cookies. One is cyanide. Unless you enjoy risking your life, I doubt you'll take the cookie unless you
know it's not cyanide.
Let me apologize for hurting your feelings simply because I don't want to risk dying.
EDIT: Oh, let me just chuck in some more statistics.
'According to the most recent statistics, for homicides in which the victim-killer relationship was known, 31 percent of female victims were killed by an intimate partner. Only 4 percent of male victims were killed by an intimate partner.
According to Bureau of Justice statistics, a 1992 survey of women killed showed that their relationship to the killer was known in 69 percent of homicides. Of that percentage, 28 percent were killed by spouse, ex-spouse, boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. That same study showed that of men killed in 1992, their relationship to the killer was known in 59 percent of homicides. Of that percentage, 3 percent were killed by spouse, ex-spouse, girlfriend or ex-girlfriend.'
