still, props for trying! it's important!

The way to go i feel, if you have the energy to try again, is a discord server or some such with the ability to moderate who joins and/or who stays.

Men, much like small children, have not yet learned to self-regulate, so they need strict and impermeable barriers. Some will eventually learn and won't need the barriers anymore. They'll realise they can play with the 1000000 other toys available to them instead of throwing a tantrum over the one that they can't have right now. Or make their own toy just for themselves if they are jealous, instead of destroying the one someone else made.

Really really tired of men not respecting my boundaries and then acting offended when i say sth

The trans men tend to get it what with growing up as AFAB. Enbies tend to get it as well.

One thing that frustrates me is the whole "Boys will be boys" mindset. It absolves men of their agency to be better.

And they can be better. I've seen it. It makes the ones that choose not to be better look terrible.

oh hello, a thread where OP specifically asked cis men to take a step back and listen full of men deciding they needed to dissect and argue every single one of OPs word choices. who'd have thought


Did you read my first reply? The big one? I explicitly stated why excluding cis men from this particular discussion is problematic.

Its not just the "boys will be boys" but the entier culture that just screams narcissism all the time. Even the women who themselves say "I want a bad boy" are helping perpertuate this

sprays you with water

We are not doing this today.

Every time people like you go "Yeah, but women do this," all it does is shift the responsibility off of men and onto women to do better.

You are not helping. You are hurting. Knock it off.

I think you missed my point. Im acussing the entier culture here, and im bringing the example with those specific women, so as to justify how broad of an accusation i am making.

Im not playing some cheap game of shifting the blame, i have zero interest, i've actually studied how culture perpetuates and reproduces itself and those kind of phenomena.

Obviously its then men who are, encouraged even, to do harm.

Nope.

Still not listening. Still missing the point. Will it take a man for you to start paying attention?

This thread exists as a way to have a dialog about how women and trans people can feel safer in kink space. Some cis men (including you) waltz in with "solutions" that do not address concerns and miss the point. And here you are talking about how women who like bad boys are contributing to the problem.

My brother in Christ, what s wrong with you? Out here acting like some women's preferences are making it unsafe for others when the MAJORITY of women do not like bad boys.

If a man would rather ignore the bulk of women, pay attention to the women that affirm what he was going to do anyway, and proceed to harass the women who do not like bad boys, then it's not the minority of women who like bad boys that are causing problems.

Is your point that, with what i said, i make it look as if its women's fault that men are encouraged to be bad?

If thats your point, then i get it. Proof for that is i just articulated. Can we stop arguing about if i got it or not now?

Again, the accusation i made is on culture. The people who affect culture are those who control the means of mental production (tv/radio stations, entertaimnent franchises, etc). Do women own those? Hardly ever if not at all.

Im saying this just so you know where im coming from.

Im gonna point this out just to illustrate that your response was not well thought out. Its not about how they can feel safe, its about how they can be safe! Obviously, you dont just wanna feel safe when you are in danger.

...


I didnt even attempt to provide a solution so far, i've only really pointed two things out.

You could say that i tried to define the problem clearly. That, ultimately, its about recognizing patterns of abusive behavior early (i think i said something like that). Do you think there is a problem there?

Yes. You are putting the blame of men's poor behavior onto women. Now knock it off. The more you keep protesting, the dumber and more malicious you look. Do us both a favor and stop it.

ArcticVixen:
I think you are misinterpreting the expression. "Bad boy" is a Western (usually American) trope where a guy in a piece of media is rebellious and seems cool. Such as the characters in the musical Grease. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_boy_archetype

No woman wants to be in a abusive relationship.


There is no problem in clasifying even the Nazis as "bad boys", based on what the archetype entails. The two are not contradictory in any way. They posed as rebelious (note the word posed) and, at least in their time, many people considered them as very cool.

And i dont think there is someone who wants to be in an abusive relationship, but it might be the case that people dont always recognize abusive behavior as such, at least not until its too late and they are already trapped.
