    I saw one of those just before I left Reddit. A woman slapped a guy with her flat hand (they didn’t show you why) and he knocked her unconscious. And Reddit was celebrating the guy 🤮.

      Riiight? Like, women shouldn’t be hitting people for sure and there should be consequential. But men celebrating that women getting knocked out gives me the creeps. Honestly, if it was anyone substantially larger knocking out someone so much weaker of any gender or age it would be wrong. Imaging a body builder knocking out an old man or a small boy? Very wrong. I think everyine could agree there. But reddit just loves to celebrate this specific brand if violence on women.

        People’s outrage would never reach criticality in those cases as men are currently viewed as expendable and a socially acceptable target of hate in general society at large

            Here a kid, a little 5 year old boy was violated, tortured then murdered by both the mother and the mother’s girlfriend and no one batted an eye even after they admitted they did it to spite the dad who’s been searching for custody for years

              It’s weird you even know about it if no one batted an eye. How did it even make the news?

                How does a whole state freaks out and have motor ability to be shoved and shove at the same time?

                  This sentence is such gibberish I don’t even know how to respond.
