(8,747 posts)There is massive outrage.
The same thing does NOT happen if a man if referred to by a vulgar slang term for his genitals.
I see plenty of women saying things like He must be compensating for small genitalia or variations of that. Especially when referring to gun owners, or owners of large trucks, or a large something.
Imagine if a man said She must be compensating for having small breasts, or She must be compensating for having poor quality genitalia.
It is perfectly acceptable on DU to call a man fat, or flabby. Imagine if the same thing was said about a woman.
When men complain about misandry, were told there is no such thing.
When men complain about women hating men, were told that doesnt happen. Yet men are told all the time that men hate women.
When men complain about discrimination, were told we cant be discriminated against because were a member of the oppressor class. As if a poor working class man could still be the oppressor, while a college educated women is still the victim.
When men complain about some woman who has written an article where she fantasizes about killing lots of men, were told its satire and we should lighten up.
Or were given speech after speech about The Patriarchy, and how if were not part of the solution, were part of the problem. And how ALL hetero men are equally guilty if we dont do something.
Its even inferred that all men are either rapists or potential rapists.
Im sick and tired of men being called names, and being told to lighten up when we complain.
Men get bashed regularly here on DU. Id say its even a sport with some.
