Isn't it strange how every woman knows someone who's been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

Got sick of bigots, and pedants, and trying to figure out if something is “meme enough” to count, and of feeling like I’m spamming other spaces, and very quickly of the lemmy UI too (still love you blahaj.zone!) so am opening my own space where I can make my own rules and post my collection in peace. ❗BE WARNED: SOME OF THE IMAGES YOU SEE HERE MAY NOT TECHNICALLY BE MEMES❗ Now that we got that out of the way, let the infodump commence! Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years. There are many, so will try to mix it up! Update: looks like 🐝Beehaw🐝 have banned this magazine. If you want real leftism rather than "nice" (more like "unchallenging to the status quo and the comfort of libs") leftism, I guess you'll have to follow from elsewhere!

Why, OP, are you being so toxic in all your answers? Sure there are men who harassed or are still harassing women and every one is one enough. But pointing out that some of us don't know anyone personally who is guilty of doing such isn't downplaying. Even IF I would say "NOT ALL MEN!1!!" doesn't mean shit. It doesn't mean "yeah, you are exxagerating" or "this problem isn't that big as you try making it" It's just a "I don't really want to be associated with that kind of male scum." Nothing more, nothing less.
But IF you wanted to say "Distancing in a post is not enough to stop this." you could have said it, instead of trying to drive a wedge.
Do it and try to have a constructive dialog instead, maybe?
Not with those clearly incapable of listening, let alone not centre themselves and make it all about how they aren't part of the problem despite actively being part of the problem
The problem you are creating is driving away the ACTUAL discourse into meta discussions like this and angering those who actually ARE listening in the first place. You are NOT helping the case - at all.
Edit: I just want to make it clear: Your claim isn't true and thus cannot be a healthy start for a deep and honest discussion about harrasment.
