Ain’t sabers rattling a precursor to war? Russia’s been at it a couple of years already, I wonder why you’re only hearing them now.

House arrest?

Like, to a lot of people actually.

You asked who protects you at violence at that point.

It damn sure ain’t a cop. Ain’t ever been a cop.

Fuck off, all day.

The cops ain’t ever protected me from violence and are scarier to me than either the random man (the random man could be a cop, but the cop definitely is) or the bear.

You can’t threaten me with violent men into not being afraid of violent men.

Right, women just feel like they’ve been molested, raped, murdered. But a man probably definitely shit his pants when he saw a bear somewhere! Those shit-smeared drawers are just the sort of fact my stupid girl feelings could never compete with.

If someone goes to jail for violence against me, I haven’t been protected from violence. That’s literally all I’m saying. Why are you putting random words in my mouth and asking me questions about that shit?

Yeah, that’s exactly what I said you fucking genius. Absolutely brilliant.

That’s some after the fact shit. After the commoners were already violated, because the cops won’t or can’t and definitely have no interest in protecting them.

How many are in prison for violence against the powerful?

Since when do cops protect anyone besides the already powerful?

It ain’t about his feelings, it’s about her safety.

All these women, wtf? Maybe they don’t hate men they just hate you? I love my husband, all the time.

Too far… but too damn late.

I just want to say that I feel like most people in this this thread have never been raped by a man. I have and I just have to ask, did this bear molest you in any way? Lay a paw on you? Stalk you? Kill you? Rob you? Threaten you? Fire you? Beat you up? Talk shit about you to the other bears?

Like what in hell is this little story, guy? You saw a bear, you’re a fucking coward, the end. Oh wait… and some TV show - bears are bad, m’kay?

Like “Listen hear ladies, there’s a bunch a dipshits who went and got themselves scared by bears, including me! You should also be afraid” (Oh, we are). My man, even men (and boys) are molested, raped, murdered, or just disappeared, like we’ll likely never know what happened to them… at rates that bears just don’t even give a shit about because they’re fucking bears and they really aint about just killing and mutilating a mother fucker (or a mother) like a man actually is, right now, probably not to far from you.

Why did you capitalize KNOW when referring to how dangerous men are? And mention how obvious it should be for one to be cautious around them? As if they’re some sort of wildly unpredictable animal (unlike a bear, a fairly predictable wild animal). And why do you seem to be on the one hand so fucking irritated that anyone else acknowledge that same fact and on the other so damned pissed that you had to point it out?

By the way, I do know a woman who was shot, in the god damned head. And she lived! You may be surprised to learn her husband wasn’t a bear.

If I’d ever been shot in the head I can only assume it wasn’t a damn bear that did it. But sure. I should piss my pants at the sight of a wild animal. And pay no nevermind to the actually dangerous creature.

Like the bears ain’t scary around here, but we do see alligators often. Still less scary than a random man in the dark when you’re alone.

My husband calls in the middle of this and I told him I usually don’t see these sort of shit takes here and then I remember I’d been browsing ALL, for crying out loud. Go to see what fucking community it was… and it’s memes! My bad even commenting here probably, but complaining that memes don’t adequately capture the whole picture and may not be the best way to address the issue seems a little… I dunno but something - here in the literal meme community.

Y’all ain’t being thrown under the bus. My husband gets it. He is also an ally to women. But y’all ain’t there “standing up in solidarity with women” when we are being molested, raped, or murdered. These things happen to women ALL THE GODDAMNED TIME. You weren’t there in solidarity with me any of the times when I was actually harmed, but when I have something to say about how scary men can actually be, you are here to stand against me. Or at best, get me to think of your feelings instead of my own safety.

I would also prefer guys who are not rapists to stand up in solidarity with women against the rapists, instead of being thrown under the bus with the rest of the women that make men feel uncomfortable by reminding them of the things that actually happen in women’s lives.

#NotAllMen

#ButWeDontKnowWhichOnes

Be a useless coward if you want. Spend your time being scared of something that is more scared of you than most people are of it (not you, tho).

I live in Georgia. There’s bears here that ain’t scary, and I can say that about all of them (seeing as cocaine bear is dead). I can NOT say they same thing about all the men I could run into in the woods at night in Georgia.

But sure, tell me again how ackshually the thing I should really be scared of is bears… ooh, and how about tigers? They’re really scary, right?

Why, did you know that when they are really little, like just newborn, men can’t even walk or hold a gun? Did you also know that most men don’t ever murder their partners? Doesn’t that seem safe? Surely more women are harmed by bears (and probably tigers, too) than little old men!

Okay, but how often do Englishmen stalk or molest French people? How many Democrats have raped and killed a Republican?

Now the one re: communists and Nazis is actually close to being on point.

The point isn’t the bear, it’s the actual (like in the actual lives they’ve lived) dangerous and scary entity to the person being asked the question. I have been molested, I have been raped, I have never been scared of a damn bear.

To me the weirdest thing isn’t how they still support him, it’s how little it seems the rest of US could care.

It’s like the thing with Nigerian scammers and how they weed out the folks who aren’t gullible and get fat off the rest. The flamboyant absurdity that turns off normies is what attracts his victims (this is the first time I’ve actually thought of his voters as victims). I’m also reminded of whale sharks and how they filter out water and get fat off the plankton.

But where are the Democrats in this? There’s no adversarial someone out there between a scammer or filter feeder and their prey. And sure, the people that are going to vote for him aren’t going to listen to a Dem. But what about the entire apathetic electorate? That’s the seawater Trump is using to filter feed on his victims. Without that apathy he can’t win. If only there were some way Democratic electeds could reduce apathy amongst the American people. Some way that wouldn’t upset donors, that is.

sigh

I’m afraid it’ll be voter apathy vs whale shark scammer this November.
