Ew put the skin back on

The internet is already dead, brah. We are the bacteria that continue to live on in the corpse while it decomposes.

My opinion is that I hate the government so fucking much it’s unreal. I wish I was Satan so I could devise a new circle of Hell for backers of mass surveillance and personally oversee their eternal torment.

Yawn. Anyone who has taken LSD could have told you reality is composed of fractals all the way down, many decades ago.

Lady boxer is still someone who punches women…

I have had negative experiences with people much more opinionated and much less discerning than you.

Honestly I feel like I’m gonna get myself in trouble every time I use “female” at all. There isn’t really another adjective to use though. Saying “woman boxer” has a totally different meaning than “female boxer” for example. Oh well, I don’t really value the opinion of people who would fault me for stepping on linguistic bear trap anyway.

Are the armed protestors opposing ICE occupation fascists as well? If you ask me, that’s exactly why we have the second amendment. Don’t hand gun ownership to the far right, you’re playing into their hand.

Sure, they could get mugged but it’s less likely

This is completely untrue, men are (and always have been) the primary target of random violence such as mugging. According to FBI crime statistics it’s hugely disproportional year after year. Women are disproportionately victimized by their intimate partners, both male and female. Both of these facts are beyond tragic but it is, in my opinion, really important to get these things straight. Women are more likely to scream for help when they are being robbed which leads them to being de-prioritized when violent criminals are choosing their targets. Men tend to submit, and are likely to avoid reporting it due to shame, so the disparity is probably significantly higher than the already gigantic reported disparity.

Hope you don’t see this as me just trying to stir shit cause I’m not. It just really irks me to see that sentiment repeated even though it’s entirely unsubstantiated. I’m a man of small stature and a minority. With awareness of the reality of the situation, the threat of physical violence is literally always on my mind. I’ve had a solid handful of random encounters in public that very nearly turned violent and it causes me pretty severe anxiety.

Don’t know why I felt like typing a novel over this, like I said though I guess I just find it frustrating. I can’t talk to my female friends about this, they just laugh at me. They talk about it like I’m wholly immune to violence by virtue of being male when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

Edit with data from FBI crime data explorer: Over the last 10 years it’s 906k male victims of robbery to 474k female victims, and (though it doesn’t need to be said) that’s just about double.
