| Topic | So any form of masculinity is considered toxic now |
| pinky0926 06/27/18 4:28:56 PM #23: | SpiralDrift posted... Then why not stop calling it toxic masculinity? Did I call it that? But also this: COVxy posted... The issue is that this response is normalized in sexual assault on men, and even readily supported by men, because they are expected to be tough and masculine. The issue is that admitting that you are weak in a situation is a social no-no, so people are conditioned to deny it to their own and other's detriment. pinky0926 posted... Does this apply to Crews' situation? Probably not, but maybe in others. For example, if you know that someone has a record of sexual assault and your friend is going to spend time with them you might advise them to take some pepper spray along just in case, because that would be the smart thing to do. I think that's a rather unlikely hypothetical that doesn't quite go far enough to explain the main reason why some people like to offer their laundry list of anything-but-actually-blame-the-rapist ideas on why a sexual assault happened. Also in your hypothetical I think there's is a difference between advice like "protect yourself just in case" and a comment like "well no wonder he raped you, what did you think was going to happen? This is on you for existing in his space". The first one is about taking precautions, the second is providing worthless advice while at the same time taking the focus away from the actual criminal party here. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...
