tweet by Zara Larsson @zaralarsson:
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 Expect a mix of slightly outdated: mostly leftist (but never tankie) content, many cats, and some general old memes I’ve collected over the years.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!

TBF I've known a hand full of men who openly talk about harassing or having harassed women. They just don't see it as harassment, because they think it's "no big deal" or that they "have" to treat women like that.
TW sexual assault: I was once waiting for a friend when a very drunk man came up to me and started talking. He was babbling about how he likes to fight, and his ex and so on, when he suddenly shouted (direct quote): "I didn't rape her! I just punched her in the gob a few times and she spread her legs all on her own!"
I think that's an extreme case, but not as extreme as one might think.
This right here is the quiet part of the tweet out loud, thank you! 👏👏👏
It's all around all of them (us!) constantly, it just isn't a problem to them, so they "don't see" it (to varying degrees of awareness).
Also jfc what that guy said to you, but as you say not that extreme or even unusual.. 😕
