(57,775 posts)It was treating women as property. To pretend that men are equally victims of that sort of crime is deliberately distorting reality in an effort to minimize violence against women. There are more people enslaved currently in the world at any point in human history and the majority are women held as sex slaves. When males are owned, they are minors. Your false equivalency is dishonest and offensive.
It's not bashing men to address reality. It is, however, nothing short of fraudulent to pretend any kind of equivalency in violent crimes period, let alone enslavement. Crime statistics make that clear. To pretend otherwise is to diminish reality.
That someone suggests an irritating ex wife is the same as owning another human being is nothing short of disgusting.
