Because men are seen as disposable and the “natural” recipients of violence, no one cares what happens to us. I can guarantee that I’ve gotten my ass beat more than all but the worst female recipients of domestic violence and no one gives a crap about that. Hell, I don’t even care all that much to be perfectly honest. It’s just something that happened.

But because men are the most common perpetrators of violence (though that is overstated, it just doesn’t get counted when women do it) and seen as worth less, it’s a fact that there isn’t much concern with its effects on men. For some reason, men are seen as deserving it as it’s mostly men who perpetrate it.

But I’ve been attacked by both men and women and it didn’t seem to matter to me who was attempting to harm me. All felt about the same.

It’s too bad the incels were right about a lot of things but chose such a dumbass way to deal with it. It’s a conversation we need to have and now can’t, societally, because the well has been utterly poisoned by their clownery.
