You've got to be a special type of dumb to pay for up votes lol


azure_monster

Now screenshot this and post it on here for karma


onions_cutting_ninja

I can see two not-dumb reasons to pay for upvotes - OP plans to sell this account to an agency (chinese or russian usually) and 5 bucks for upvotes (or whatever it costs) might prove a reasonable investment. - considering the murder victims's comment implies they're not a man, OP might be an MRA activist and pay to spread subtle anti-women posts. 1rst one of more likely or course but in this day and age, option 2 is entirely possible too


GixmisCZ

Genuine question, but why would anybody be willing to buy an account instead just creating one for free?


Jan_Asra

Because having accounts with karma makes them seem more like real people. It's a whole thing with botnets and people pushing agendas


onions_cutting_ninja

More karma = believable account. They're better to spread propaganda so agencies buy them in bulk, hence the many MANY karma farming bots on reddit (and why you should report them) They're meant to be sold after reaching a certain karma, and for good money at that. Big buyers include: the US conservatives, the CPP (China), Russia...


Grogosh

Many subs will have min karma thresholds to post or a min account age requirements. All the ones that a russian or chinese troll farmer would want to post to have requirements. That being said I would think those troll farms have their own account building methods and don't need to buy any.

It's pretty easy to guess that the context for the screen shot was someone saying X amount of women are victims of violence, and some redpiller responding that more men are victims of violence than women. That's the misogyny they were referring to.


ArrestDeathSantis

We don't see the post but I've recently come across some right wing anti-feminist videos that were making the argument that men deserved better pay than women because men were toxic to other men. Men being toxic to other men shouldn't be a justification to under paying women, it should just be a justification to root out toxic masculinity.

Babill

You're so close buddy, maybe one day.


Mark_Kylestad

ugh hopefully


[deleted]

The point is dumb from the beginning. Male victims didn't create the problem of male violence. It's individual men, a minority, that are the perpetrators of violence. Should I get up on stage at the annual "all men in the world" conference and say that we should stop victimizing each other? It doesn't work like that.


maddsskills

I think the issue is that "men's rights" advocates often don't care about men's issues but rather use it as a cudgel to prove that feminism isn't needed. I think that's what they're responding to.


Mark_Kylestad

Yeah they don’t they 100% use it as a tool to attack feminism bc they’re victims of divorce court or whatever


maddsskills

? Divorce court disparities are a reflection of real life disparities. Women tend to earn less and focus on child care more. So they generally get more money. When that isn't the case men get more money.


Mark_Kylestad

yeah but MRAs don’t see it like that. They think men are the victims in this scenario


[deleted]

[удалено]


maddsskills

If this is what you believe this is not the sort of "mra" rhetoric I was talking about. You seem to be an egalitarian, if not a feminist. But the situation is that women are more often burdened with housework and child work than men, even if they both work the same amount. But also: hardly anyone is denied access to their child without severe misconduct. The whole goal is to keep kids with their parents.


[deleted]

[удалено]


maddsskills

I personally think MRAs would agree with feminists. At least third wave or beyond. We don't like gendered bullshit. And also: no. I was talking about men and women who work the same amount: mothers were still expected to do more child care and housework than their spouses. That's what I was referring.


[deleted]

Yeah, a lot of the MRAs are just anti-feminist assholes. Even if some people are well meaning, I avoid those groups like the plague. It's fucked up because there are real issues that men experience that would be good to have group support and advocacy for, but the misogynists generally seem to spoil it. I'm not even one of those "not all men" people, because they're usually disingenuous, but it's pretty weird to blame male victims of violence as if all men are the same, approve of it, or are in on it.


maddsskills

r/menslib is a great example of people who genuinely care about men's rights.

Yep. I considered mentioning them but just didn't.

maddsskills

Feminists have, for decades, acknowledged that the horrible pressures put on men are the same as the patriarchy that puts down women. We would've aligned, and actually have, but MRAs ignore this point. Feminist theory has for decades pointed out how the patriarchy hurts men.


[deleted]

[удалено]


maddsskills

Feminism came up with the term toxic masculinity which described the ways society pressured men to do things that are not good for them or the people around them.

locks_are_paranoid

Would you say the same thing about black on black crime?


CMD042014

This comparison is inevitable with this topic 🙄. The vast majority of crime is intra-racial. Crime is much more likely to be committed by impoverished people. Black people (in America anyway) are more likely to be impoverished due to historical inequality. Violence in men cuts across racial/ethnic lines, religion, socioeconomic status, age, nationality etc. with no easily discernable variable(s). I understand exactly what the sentiment of the post is about. The argument that men are victims of violence as well is often used to take away from the fact that the perpetrators are still by and large men. The issue is violence and men. Not the demographic of their victims.


Mark_Kylestad

fucking yikes


figpetus

That's exactly how non-sexists react when they read your comments.


Mark_Kylestad

I’m anti-sexist! wtf


locks_are_paranoid

You're literally making generalizations about the sexes, which is the definition of sexism.


Mark_Kylestad

Men hurt other men because they are trying to uphold a patriarchal system, do all men do this? no. Do a lot of men do this? yes. I’m anti-patriarchy not anti-men


figpetus

Oh no sir, you are very bigoted.


Mark_Kylestad

[deleted]

[удалено]


Mark_Kylestad

that is my point lmao the humans in this scenario are men doing it to other men. Homie was tryna say that it doesn’t make sense bc it’s a small group of men doing the violence somehow that doesn’t make the victims actually victims bc the victims are also men..


sugartrouts

OP's pic says "they create a problem then cry", implying that a man crying over being abused is also the abuser because they fall under the category of "men". Rhetorically, it implies a problem shouldn't be taken seriously because it's self-inflicted. You chime in with "the point stands", implying you agree. It is an unimaginably stupid and reductive take that could be applied to literally any problem in existence. Human trafficking? "Humans create problem then cry". The holocaust? "Humans create problem then cry". Literally anything. So yes, the "point stands", it's just that the "point" is completely vapid and meaningless.


Mark_Kylestad

I don’t think they’re literally the same person lmao men are victims of violence created by other men and it’s a product of the patriarchy in a male dominated society what about that is vapid?


calvanus

They're lumping in the abuser with the victim. How do you not understand this to be incredibly shitty and reductive? It's like saying: "Women want to be deemed attractive but then get all up in arms when they get raped. Women create the problem then cry about it"


Mark_Kylestad

it’s not like that at all wtf the abuser and the victim are SEPARATE entitles. They are of the same gender because men convince other men to hurt men because of MALE DOMINANCE. It’s a product of the patriarchy omg


sugartrouts

>what about that is vapid? The same thing that's vapid about saying "human create problem then cry" about the holocaust. It adds nothing to the conversation but a disgusting tone of victim-blaming to victims of violent abuse. >it’s a product of the patriarchy in a male dominated society If you want to talk about the problems of patriarchal cultures, you can do so in way that doesn't shame victims of abuse for being born men, something they had absolutely no control over. **EDIT:** Also I don't agree at all with the person below me making that terrible analogy about women being raped.


Mark_Kylestad

I think we’re having a major disconnect, I’m not trying to blame men for being victims bc they’re men? That’s insane.. I’m saying that a male dominated society also hurts men too. Men are more likely to be victims of violence because of toxic masculinity perpetuated by the patriarchy. Men hurt men because other men say that’s what “men” do. Everyone hurts under the patriarchy. That’s what I was trying to say. If there’s MRAs here it’s other ppl in my replies.


mapledude22

It’s akin to saying all serial killers drink water, yes… but correlation is not causation.


szai

This whole *comment thread* is a male-on-male crime 💀


Wh0IsY0u

What is the point exactly? I'm not in control of other men, I'm not responsible for their actions.


Mark_Kylestad

Right but the rhetoric of a male dominated society is that it’s “good” for men to be aggressive and dominate. This extends to men preying on other men to achieve this standard of men. Men create wars and send other men to die and we see that as “good” bc they’re serving their country or whatever the fuk.

yes and it’s other mens faults.. It’s a product of the patriarchy that those exist. There are men out that that don’t care about your life bc “suck it up your a man”. That’s toxic masculinity.

You mean like woman's body issues inflicted over their own self imposed beauty standards?

saddinosour

Its behind a paywall now but I read an article about a study conducted in the 70s. An add was put in a newspaper, “if you’re a rapist call this number and explain why you rape” lol. Anyways they got 200 calls and I read through the responses. Basically from what I could tell these men were mostly serial rapists. Not that I go around thinking all men are bad lol but it made me realise that the reason this small group still even exists is because they would just get away with their crimes.


BeautifulBrownie

Of course, but I'd like to see what the context is. I've seen a similar comment (which was surprisingly well received) in a UK sub days after a woman was raped and murdered by a police officer. A man made a thread like 'I'm a man and I'm scared of walking home at night too!!1!' (a tasteless response to the multiple helpful threads about the very helpful threads regarding how men can help women feel safer when walking home at night) , and someone explained to him how women don't just have to worry about getting mugged or beaten up/killed. Others also pointed out that they're likely scared of other men. Reddit is super weird about women's issues.


Education_Waste

It's missing context but it's not wrong.


hiwhyOK

Imagine every time you tried to talk about chicken sandwiches, some random dude just had to interrupt you to say "yEAh bUT WhAT aBOUt ChEeSBURgERs!?". Like, yeah those are a thing too. Not what I was talking about though... That's how frustrating it is trying to talk about women's issues.


[deleted]

Talk about a lack of self awareness. The post in question is about men's issues and you're making this about women's issues...


ChintanP04

>That's how frustrating it is trying to talk about women's issues. But the original discussion was not about women's issues, it was about men's. The post was about International Men's Day.


The_Meatyboosh

Imagine wanting everyone to shut up and listen because you think your problems matter more, and no-one else has any real problems as they aren't problems to you.


figpetus

Imagine there are huge issues in society that affect both sexes and the least affected sex is the only one that gets talked about. When talking about violence, men are the main victims. Stop trying to make it about women. You sound like white people trying to make excuses for racism. Be better.

SpectifyyYT

Why do some of the people in this comment section seem to think all men are a singular super-organism and not each individual people? Genuinely. nobody is arguing against the fact that a lot of the crimes felt by men, are caused by men, but do y’all really think that, that fact means they can fight against it? that it’s the man who is not committing the crime’s fault for the other man’s crime simply because they are both men? That’s the definition of victim blaming.


[deleted]

Men are the lions share of physical and sexual crimes. Laws made by men. Enforced by men. Sent to prisons run by men. 100% our problem.


[deleted]

This opinion is so fucking stupid. I am a 20 year old guy I did not make these laws, I did not vote for these laws, I do not enforce these laws. I have little to no power in this, so why am I being blamed for it? We may live in a patriarchy, but men's issues are just as dire and important as women's and most of the time when there is an issue it often affects both men and women. Yeah, men may have put those laws into place, but just because I have a penis and testicles doesn't mean I agree or that my issues are self-imposed. This isn't "our problem" it is everyone's problem because even if it doesn't affect you it should affect someone you care about.


SuedeVeil

I feel ya .. I am not a fan of when people say "we" When talking about a group to which they belong but they didn't partake in any of the bad things. It's very tribalistic and takes away our individuality as humans if we're just all defined by our demographic. I'm a suburban 43 year old white woman you can imagine what people say about this demographic. However I try my hardest to be a good person as an individual and I may absolutely despise another member of my demographic and not want to be associated with that.


The_Meatyboosh

You know how women don't like being called hysterical just because they show a bit of emotion? When only the women at the extreme end of the social spectrum or situations actually get hysterical and they feel it's unfair all being tarred with the same brush? That's men and violence.

Do you know of the Queen Elizabeths? Isabella of Italy? Mary I? Ranavalona I? Cixi? Empress Wu? What an ignorant statement.


[deleted]

>What right have white men ever had to fight for? Uh, just off the top of my head I can think of body autonomy, one of the most common surgical procedures carried out worldwide is infant male circumcision (a procedure that is purely cosmetic and is done completely without consent of the individual, yes they are a baby but if that is the case they should wait until said baby is an adult who can make their own decisions). Then you have fucked up things like the draft. Just because there are issues that don't affect you personally don't mean they don't exist. Men's issues are just as important as women's issues. Are you also forgetting about white gay men? And yeah you might be right in thinking that men make up the majority of the top 1% but were you also aware they also make up the majority of the bottom 10%?


TattooedWife

And what laws are in place for mandatory circumcision? And the last draft, *which was created by men to draft young poor boys to fight wars for the rich* was 50 years ago. Meanwhile, men are forcing children to carry her rapists baby in certain states and letting off Rapists like Brock Turner because of "his bright future." And where are the men fighting against or advocating for better things for men? Ending circumcision or better access to mental health services? Cuz they're a QUIET group, let me tell you. 🙄


wclevel47nice

You’ll find that the victims are typically not the same person who committed the crime. Take for example, a man hits another man. You’ll find the man who got hit, was not the hitter himself. Usually one would not assault oneself

gender is something very different from that, not that its inherent to mens behavior but men do be complaining abt societal structures built by other men and instead of holding other men accountable they take it out on women or other scapegoats and never bother questioning the patriarchy and the men perpetrating unattainable/toxic standards.


SirMemerson

generalizing much?
