    Fair point but you will have to then move the line to “all Americans” instead of “all men”.

    If all men normalized this the comment section would look wildly different.

      Have you seen some of the comment sections on Lemmy?

      We’ve got men musing about how “naturally consensual” 14 year olds are with absolutely no moderation stepping in.

        I have no idea what you are talking about but this sounds like wild interpolation.

          You can pretend like this isn’t a common thing amongst a wide swath of men, but you’re wrong. It’s not just Americans.

          There’s a lot of sexist and misogynistic views that are not only allowed to be kept up on Lemmy, but are highly upvoted and supported by the men here.

          Some men do normalize this and the comment sections do reflect it often.

            Can you point me the commenter saying that what the Fox News host said is awesome?

              I just posted an article you might find illuminating. Groups of men collaborating online to masturbate and cum on women in public to humiliate them.

              They use online forums to bolster and lift each other up, encouraging each other to violate women for their own satisfaction and then share with the group.

              I could point out the comments calling a rape victim hot in the womensstuff community if you’d like.
