Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Then put that on the sign, not "always men" ffs. The sign is a lie and a problem and the fact that you can't see that means you're part of that problem.
To be quite frank, the vast majority of sexual violence against women is perpetrated by men. The vast majority of all sexual violence is against women.
I understand you feel your particular experience is unrepresented, but this particular case, and rallies, and signs etc... Are simply not about you or your experiences. This is about sexual violence against women. If you can't see that, and you insist on inserting yourself into a context that has nothing to do with you, then there's really nothing left to say.
Oh thank you for clarifying why you think me being raped is insignificant and doesn't matter. Wanna go for the rest of the hits while we're here? "You must have enjoyed it because you're a man" and "she was hot you should consider yourself lucky," or who could forget the classic "get over it pussy?"
Fine, if there's nothing left to say, then say nothing. That'll be better than what you've been doing.
Probably best to take your own advice.
Hell no I'll advocate for myself and those like me until my fingers fall off to combat people like you, how 'bout you quit trying to silence rape victims, hmm?
You're not advocating for yourself my guy, you're advocating against women. Do this on your own a post, the garbage you're spewing here does literally nothing for men, you're just shitting on a movement full of women for daring to protest for their rights and not yours specifically
I'll do this wherever it is relevant, like under a post that says "always a man." Guess what? Both times I was raped it was a woman, clearly not "always a man." Just admit you don't care about male victims either, we're literally all used to it. What is it "I must have enjoyed it because I'm a man" hmm?
For the love of god, how can you lack self awareness to such a degree.
This is a post about a woman who was raped by over 100 men, orchestrated by a man who she trusted, over a span of 10 years. That's a jaw dropping level of personal assault.
Yet here we are, in the comments, talking about you. You and your problems. Men and their problems. For fucks sake.
Same question.
Goddamn right, because the post just had to claim all rapists are men, which I just had to refute by being raped by two women (sorry to inconvenience you.)
Maybe next time make a sign for ALL victims of rape and sexual assault that doesn't exclude male victims and excuse woman abusers.
Of course they do. No men were harmed in the making of this living nightmare for Gisele Pelicot, however. I apologize that I didn't think of the men as I worked my way through reading about this absolutely horrific and disgusting event that happened to Gisele Pelicot. I'm sure as she watched the video footage of her limp body being violated and penetrated by hundreds of men, she was beside herself with grief for the plight of men.
You matter. Your trauma matters, obviously. This assault that Gisele Pelicot went through, however, is not about you. The fact that you seem incapable of realizing that is distressing.
I have no clue what you're talking about.
Unironically parroting the "all lives matter" dog whistle. Good grief.
Sure, and if you'll notice, I have only taken issue with the sign, as many like it have hurt men continuously including myself. It reinforces the idea that men are defacto rapists and women are defacto innocent and it's a bad sign. We should strive to be better than that with our slogans to include EVERYONE who gets raped, not just men or just women. The sign is a problem, and it's hindering the goal of what should be the "stop raping" movement without qualifiers like gender rather than a movement that openly admits that they, like the rest of the world, do not give a shit about male victims.
I'm not trying to shut their protest down, I want us to be fucking included.
The assault has nothing to do with me, but the sign does. I will not stand for such erasure (great band, btw).
Yeah I deleted that, I was hot on the heels of another person who is being a bigot (and literally writing "m*n" instead of "men" which I found hilarious) and I thought you were them until I read your Uname. That's my mistake I tried to get it before you saw it, sorry! In my defense your Uname is different in my inbox vs in the comments, I would have recognized "cheese!" Lol.
All victims matter, yes. Thanks for all but admitting you don't give a shit about male victims though, why not just go full mask off and say it outright instead of "AlL lIvEs MaTtEr" hmm?
Good luck with everything.
You too.
