Also some victims don't even recover, some one very close to me had a break down about 15 years ago because of her childhood rape from 4 years old, she still has not recovered.
Yes, I read somewhere that black/Latinos are more likely to get searched for drugs, even though statistically white people use more drugs.
But race doesn't matter only class:rolleyes:
I never said we should only care about black/latino women living in the ghetto, when did I say that?
I said men are not an oppressed group. I never said we can't care about men.
and this is coming from someone who says, black people had it worse so women were not oppressed, totally not recognising black women as women and having a similar but also different experiences from black men, because they are black and also women.
I wasn't being black and white, I said men...
Black women are also women they are oppressed because of their race and sex.
White women are oppressed because of their sex.
If we are going to compare a white woman with a black man, they both belong to oppressed groups.
Men do not belong to an oppressed group.
Since working class women were and are the majority, most women have had to do something to earn extra money for her family so her kids wouldn't starve.
But this also serves to excuse them when they harass women because "boys with be boys"
Also I find this men are wimps thing to be mainly reinforced by other males who think it is insulting for a man to "act like a woman" because women are inferior and weak.
More women are battered than men, and women are more likely to die from being battered than a man.
Breadwinners: as opposed to women doing boring domestic chores and wiping kids arses all day, and being isolated from adult contact?
Excuse me no, I am not saying that I do not care about violence towards men, I have a male partner. I care about males, I wouldn't be violent towards a male. Heck I probably wouldn't even be violent towards a male who sexually assaulted me because I am a wimp like that.
I hate violence.
men are not the TARGETS of sexist oppression, and therefore being "sexist" towards a man doesn't reinforce a system where men are the TARGETS of sexist oppression.
Nope, I'm saying any "oppression" that men face for being men is a consequence of patriarchy, it doesn't make it equal to women's oppression who are the TARGETS of sexist oppression.
I do not believe men are an oppressed group, once again! What ever happens to men because of patriarchy is a consequence to men it is not the same as being an oppressed group end of story, in order to convince me that sexism against men is equal to sexism against women, you first have to...
Oh yes! You are bringing it all back, I watched a documentary on the increase of gang rape committed by boys/young men, and one girl was orally raped by loads of guys, there was a long queue of them waiting to rape her, this took place in a block of flats, and as this woman was going to her flat...
