    In their right mind

    Some weirdos take correction or rejection as a personal attack, and subscribe to the ethos that the best defense is a good offense.

        Yeah the comic is pretty dumb, it’s definitely an over simplification. Just recognize that dudes being aggressive is a thing, even if it’s not all dudes, because it certainly isn’t.

          so true only men can be aggressive that is a uniquely male thing so its worth pointing it out over the reality that all people are aggressive at times

            Aggressive men exist ≠ only men can be aggressive. This is why we teach a small amount of formal logic in school.

              if that was what u meant then there is not reason to say what u said, everyone knows everyone can be aggressive, according to u ur previous comment is basically u saying “the sky is blue”. be honest with urself u know what u meant.

                Bruh, we’re in sma thread where someone denied the possibility of men being irrationally aggressive. I’m merely counting and saying that, no, that is a thing that happens sometimes. If they had also claimed women can’t be irrationally aggressive I would have addressed that, too.

                  no from the look of the modlog that is definitely a lie, again be honest with urself and me i like honesty too.

                  pretty sure op said that this is extremely rare and that there are 2 sides to a story.

                  also im not convinced that in the same context but with women switch in u would have said the same that sounds like bs, like if someone made a comic complaining about abuse from women and someone in the comment said something like “this is sexist and talking about this is a distraction from real sexism because the overwhelming majority of people who are abused are actually women so this is just a tactic and people who talk about it dont actually care” u would be the exact kinda person who would agree.

                    Dude you just made-up a whole-ass situation and told me what I’d do. I’m dying over here.

                    I’m going to have to assume you’re talking about women abusing their male partners, since it would a clean gender flip for that sort of thing. That shit is a real problem! Male victims of abuse routinely get laughed out of police stations when they try and report their partner, and that’s if the cops don’t accuse them of being the real abuser.
