When people say “All men X” they are saying that it’s in their nature to do something and therefore perpetuate the idea that men are not responsible for their actions. This is what allows abusers to get out of the justice system on the argument that “it’s just what men do”
Stop treating men like animals and start treating them like human beings with conscious thought so that you can hold the ones that DO hurt people responsible for their actions.
By the “not all men” logic, Russian Roulette is a perfectly safe game to play. Sure, one of the chambers has a bullet in it…
but not all chambers
Best one I’ve seen. Best one.
But a lot of pistols have 8 chambers, making the odds of dying 1 in 8, and the odds of being raped in the US is 1 in 6.
So really, playing Russian Roulette is like
Safer.
what a wonderful mindset to have. <3
let’s just sacrifice the possibility of any good things happening because maybe, just maybe you’ll be a part of that bad statistic.
it’s funny how about 80% of my close friends are male and none of them have attempted to sexually harass me. ever. because they’re reasonable human beings capable of choice and logic and learning. What genitals you were born with doesn’t make who you are anyways. wow it’s almost like you can interact with numerous males and it be possible for not even one of them to be a sexual predator :o
…also anyone who says russian roulette is a perfectly safe game, or that interaction with any human being or animal or object is perfectly safe. is wrong. nothing is perfectly safe. ever. you breathing right now isn’t even safe.
And when I say this, I don’t mean you shouldn’t be cautious, just don’t be paranoid, dude. :v
The difference between men and bulllets is that men have conscious thought. They are aware of their actions. They know what they are doing. And many of them are aware that harming others IS wrong. So not all men is perfectly valid.
Also, if you stop treating men like humans and start treating them as hurting machines or animals acting on instinct, you are taking away any accountability they have on their actions. You ARE saying that what they do isn’t their fault because that’s just how they are. Hold men responsible for their actions like they are human beings so that they can actually get tried and put in prison for harming people

Posts about how writers who work with artists don’t deserve as much praise or pay.
I’ve seen posts about how writers are “just writing” and shouldn’t get commissions.
I’ve even gotten hate for briefly pondering getting commissions for small drabbles.
Let’s face one simple fact.
Tumblr- You only give a fuck about writers when we do shit for free.
Writers do as much work as any other artist. Just. As. Much.
We struggle just as much with getting exposure. We struggle just as hard at word choice as an artist does at shading. We fight just as much with plotlines as artists do with sketch lines.
Writers are not something to be put behind a less-than sign.
People seem really good at demanding fanfiction, they seem really good at demanding their favorite pairings their way. And they seem just as good as getting mad when writers actually want some praise or recognition for it.
Think for a minute if all fanfiction writers, if all authors period, just stopped writing. Imagine you woke up tomorrow and every fanfiction website was empty, every single story and drabble GONE.
You people would throw a fit and a half.
So the next time you get some stupid thought in your head that writing is not an art, and that writers are not artists?
Then ponder this:
If its so fucking easy, go do it yourself and stop crying for us to do it instead.
Some people claiming something is easy and that they shouldn’t have to pay for it? Where have I heard that before.
But seroiusly though, if you are an artist, you should respect writers because writing is just as much of an artform as drawing or music.
