A community for discussing events around the World
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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

Ok, so not so men but 96% of perpetrators are men.
This very precise statistic comes from a single study made in bad faith, over 20 years ago. If you want to read a more recent study, with linked sources, feel free to check https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/sexual-victimization-by-women-is-more-common-than-previously-known/
That percentage came from the 2021 report by the French government. This is not outdated information. And it's pertains to France not America.
Dude just shut the fuck up about that study xD most rape is done by men towards women, quit acting like that's just not the case. Women deserve to not be raped, can you just say that with no qualifiers?
Can you say that without qualifiers? NOBODY deserves to be raped, including men. How ironic can you get?
I can, but it doesn't get much more "all lives matter" than coming to a post about women protesting about the disproportionate sexual violence they face and saying "men get raped TOO so fuck you for advocating for yourself and having a sign that offends me"
Nobody deserves to get raped. You can stop worrying now :3
Yes that's why you say "dude shut the fuck up" to male victims and minimize their experiences, and completely leave them out of your "doesn't deserve to be raped" category until called out.
How 'bout you shut the fuck up and let male victims share their feelings and experiences too.
How about you stop shitting on female victims of sexual violence just bc they're not nice enough for you? You can have your own protest if you need it so bad, stop shitting on the one that's actually happening. It makes it crystal clear that you don't give a shit about anybody being raped. You're just an meninist whining about men's rights as an attempt to shut down support for women's movements, no better then terfs who pretend to give a shit about women as an excuse to shit on trans people
How 'bout you stop shitting on male victims of sexual abuse because we're not nice enough for you? FOH with that "you don't matter" bullshit, I do matter whether you agree or not, and you are GODDAMN WELL gonna hear about it! You're despicable, reevaluate your views.
I will reevaluate nothing, my views are fun and silly :3
Your views are bigoted, and yes, silly. But not silly in the way you think, silly in a sad, pathetic way that makes you look bad.
By all means continue however, I'll never get in the way of a fool putting their horrific bigoted takes out for all the world to see, people deserve to know who you are inside.
I would prefer to say, nobody deserves to be raped, and as long as people keep giving that flawed statistic that harms both male and female victims of rape, I have no reason not to share it.
That kind of disregard is what keeps most female child rapists out of jail, or nets them far lesser sentences.
No, no one is complicit in anything by their very existence. You don't get to blame people for other people doing something bad in a group they didn't choose to belong to.
This is bald-faced, shameless bigotry and reflects a real lack of self awareness
I do do that for approximately those reasons. And I want to slap the fuck out of whoever wrote this text just as much as you.
Could you fucking imagine saying this about any other group of people
Sure can. There's a lot of "blaming citizens of countries for things they have no say in" nowadays
