the male population

[livid peak]

the 'male' population

instead of masking the entirity of male kind

why not say most of them?

your practically saying rubbish to the ones who stood for your country

the ones who died for you to be in your position

not saying woman did nun

they too were inckuded in history

but if your going to mask an entier gender for deeds done by one, than I am sorry, but this is compelte bs

and if u fall that hard to rage bait

ain't nun what could be done 4 u

i dont mean to come off as rude, but think before u say bs

and so for men themselves

use the power granted to you for good

[slow timber]

Not gonna debate, imma j say what I think. The idea is alright but it's poorly worded.

There's been so many confessions ab things like SA or harassment, and even things about j mental health where alot of people, not just men, reply w disrespectful shit. Not here to point fingers and say men do it more, it happens on both sides, and this kinda rage bait shouldn't happen jn the first place on a serious confession. If its 5 paras of some1s mpreg, go ahead, but don't be insensitive to actual issues. This isn't just for anon confess either, but in many real life situations or in venting channels and things, people r very chill ab it. We've become so accustomed to making everything a joke, some things should be taken seriously.

[chrome drum]

chat thats js the title, the confession says ''some of the guys and girls of the server''

[livid peak]

the main title.

then say it in the title as well

[slow timber]

Same way, generalisation is bad and kinda offensive, but in the grand scheme, it's a very small part. It's not helping our cause, since it disrespects men who are trying to help and men in positions of power that can actively bring in new policies etc, but on a very practical level, this generalisation will continue to exist on our actions as women, espicially jn South Asian countries, are often victims of sexism and misogyny. Its much safer to think everyone is dangerous and remain cautious then to take chances and the only way to combat this is by tackling misogyny from the youth.

Man hating and throwing around blame isn't gonna make the world more inclusive. We gotta educate ourselves and try to challenge our prejudices.

keep on cooking 🗣️

[ancient dawn]

real

but to be fair

they do repeat

"the male population"

in the confession itself

[livid peak]

exactly 💯

mention in the title as well

[slow timber]

Could have been better worded it feels v much like a crash out than a genuine conversation opener

[ancient dawn]

yea it's not easy to generalise such comments to a specific group. we're on a public, online platform, and people find that repercussions to their actions rarely happen

so, as per their nature, they tend to make comments like these

[livid peak]

or perhaps, instead of blaming everyone (as shit said)
focus on urself and be a better person and try to influence the world for the better with the power you become worthy of through excessive hard work for all genders, including corrisonts and mikrovaves

[ancient dawn]

I'm not condoning such actions at all obviously

these people are the lowest of the low

but they won't stop, will they, when people make confessions and posts like these?

[slow timber]

Yeah its OK to notice patterns. Likr all those Andrew tate boys who think misogyny is cool and shit WILL make misogynistic comments. But instead of giving up on half the population, convince them against such ideologies. Ur not gonna combat sexism by rejecting half the population entirely

[ancient dawn]

true

andrew tate and all those influencers did unrepairable damage to the mindsets of people

[slow timber]

Yes

[ancient dawn]

even if a fraction of that they say is true, that doesn't automatically validate everything else

[slow timber]

I gotta watch that new netflix show adolescence

[ancient dawn]

people tend to idolise these people without knowing what they even talk about

[ancient dawn]

whats it about

[slow timber]

It's not crazy to say men are sexist, but you can't just stop there.

[chrome drum]

i think when you begin fighting on whether or not generalisation exists, you kinda lose focus on the battle on actively making other people safe from your own actions

[ancient dawn]

well yeah

people get too defensive sometimes

[chrome drum]

y'all gotta understand what guys view as generalisation of a gender has become a norm for women

[slow timber]

Idk much It's ab some kid who got involved in incel culture and these ideologies and end up committing femicide

[chrome drum]

as a Pakistani woman, i have been taught religiously to ''safeguard myself from men''

and i can fight this generalisation

but at the end of the day

patterns in male behaviours i interact with exist

and you cannot deny those

[ancient dawn]

oh.

[slow timber]

Yep. Alot of times when women bring up genuine issues, men say its generalisation when it exists on such a mass scale, it is their reality.

[chrome drum]

the confession explicitly states there is a pattern in SOME of the guys and girls

despite the poor wording of the title and the first sentence

the true meaning of the confession is not gone

[chrome drum]

yes exactly

if you move past the poor wording of the initial sentences

[slow timber]

I'm not saying this confession is that, but the one ab SA and the one ab the man making comments are every day things for alit of women. Saying its generalisation invalidates MANY MANY women. Men are not being suppressed by that statement but women are. You deny then the proof that it's not a one time thing.

[chrome drum]

you'll see how imp the confession is

because it talks about an issue actively existing throughout discord severs

[ancient dawn]

yea ofc

[chrome drum]

abb you cannot call it ''a generalisation of all discord severs and an insult to past discord severs that were good''

[slow timber]

I said I wasn't gonna debate and I'm still replyin 😭😭 need to lock in

[ancient dawn]

😭

[ancient dawn]

real

[chrome drum]

This anonymous confessions server has been made for the sole purpose of making individuals feel safe expressing their concerns. When people act disrespectfully by disregarding people's feelings through insensitive comments, they completely undermine the purpose and integrity of the server.

and i think that when you want to fight about the notion regarding generalisation you actively have to break the norm for yourself rather than trying to defend all the possible good men out there

when someone recognizes a pattern in 'male behaviour' or any ones behaviour it is because they have seen it happen in MULTIPLE cases

if you want to fight it

break the norm first

instead of defending blindly

you do not know what someone has witnessed

the ENTIRE point of this confession was to be more empathetic towards each other and all of this has been compromised on the debate over generalisation

[balmy current]

What difference would it make

[livid peak]

eh dk, but u get my point

[balmy current]

No I don't lmao, you just got defensive and went on a sanctimonious rant about "not all men" without getting the point of the post

Which is what this post was talking about in the first place

Shit and stressed are the only ones here capable of nuance

In this post and the previous one

[ancient dawn]

ong

[ancient dawn]

i think that was literally his point, as in the "not all men" part

obviously it's not all men?

anon literally said in the confession

some

putting the title aside

[balmy current]

Exactly

And even if anon did specifically say "all men" it almost never actually means every single man

The implication is that it's all the shitty men anon has had the misfortune of communicating with

But instead of empathising and looking at where anon coming from

He makes it about himself

[chrome drum]

thank you, i could not have worded this better myself

[nocturne oyster]

Gave +1 rep to oriole1906!

[balmy current]

No worries
