The media reflects the reality of our lives even as it creates and promotes more violence against us.

They do that with every group. It’s a story about how someone overcomes something. You cant get mad at them for using trauma.

Taken doesnt glorify or encourage kidnapping.

Shrek doesnt glorify or encourage being ostracized and lonely.

Joker doesnt glorify or encourage the mistreatment of people with mental illness.

Cruella (lol) doesnt glorify or encourage shoving a woman off of a cliff via dogs.

It’s something terrible that happened to them that may fuel their actions.

But something tells me OP doesnt apply this logic to other groups. It os only an issue for them when it can apply to women.

Did I miss the scenes in those movies where Liam Neeson, Shrek and Joker are all raped?

The OP didn’t specify only rape.  But if you you want examples:

There’s plenty of rape pushed on men in media.  The issue is that a lot of it tends to be brushed off or made for the sake of a joke, something that almost never happens when it’s done to a woman.

Reality isn’t impacted by fiction.  This is the stupid “D&D will turn kids to Satanism” and “Video games cause violence” argument that, ironically, were both pushed by hyper conservative christians a couple decades ago.

Authors traumatize their characters for them to overcome that trauma.  And because rape happens in real life it becomes an option for that list of possible traumas.  Rape, sexual abuse, etc, is one of the quickest ways to make an audience sympathize with a female character, justify her revenge or continued emotional trauma and damn the rapist in the eyes of the reader in basically one swift action.

But that’s all ignoring that the original tweet said “rape” AND/OR “beating”, which makes her problem absolutely stupid because male characters are beaten to shit all the time.

My go to is always Casino Royal.  Do you think that people would’ve stood for it if “Jane Bond” had her genitals tortured on screen by the villain?  Because there were no boycotts of the film when that scene came to light with James being the one having his testicles smashed.

This is why we have so many shitty female leads lately, nobody wants to give them any obstacles or traumas to overcome out of fear of being called misogynist.

So instead, they’re just turned into mary sues who insta-win at everything thrown at them.

Everytime I post a personal thing about my sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, I get at least one feminist in my anons being like “See what men do to you? They are violent and they hate you. You still care about them and they don’t care about you. You’re brainwashed. Think about what theyve done to you. They hate you.” etc. etc.

I just want to let you know that you’re a bunch of predators who feed off abused and traumatized women, to keep them in a state of fear and hatred, in an attempt to grow your man-hate army; and I hate you.

“More and More men are showing they hate women.”

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact we have demonized them to the point that there are now women who claim that men are incapable of being victims of child abuse, and that they aren’t human. Men are in fact capable of dealing with the consequences of trauma just like women. How fucking dare all of you feminists claim that an innocent little boy somehow deserved his mother abusing him all for being a boy. If anybody is the monster, its all of you. Feminism hurts both men and women. A mother is supposed to protect all of her children, especially her little boy. Little boys have been shown to radiate towards their mothers for love and protection more than their fathers, just like little girls radiate towards their fathers for that same thing. So when a mother does nothing but show her son that regardless of the fact that she carried him in her womb for 9 months, that she hates him just for being something he can’t control, of course he’s going to have self esteem issues, that he’s going to expect all women are the same. Parents are supposed to show children what to expect out of the world. The problem with the world is that we’ve created a vicious cycle of men hating women, and vice versa, and instead of focusing on a solution, we’d rather just continue to hate on another because its easier that way, that do the hard work to make the world better for all of us. 

Men aren’t inheritably evil, or hateful. I’ll take my little boys for example, my eldest whose 7 absolutely loves to show his affection towards the people he loves. He knows when someone is having a bad day and will give him hugs to try and cheer them up. He is a huge animal lover. He has never purposely caused harm to any living thing. He feels bad when he sees a dead animal. When I lost one of his siblings due to birth complications, he said he wanted to get into a big plane and fly it into the sky, so he could go visit them. You want to see what a person’s natural personality is, you can see it when they are young, before society has molded the person into what it deems acceptable. 

Instead of blaming men as whole, we should be inspecting what is causing such a divide between all of us. Why not ask why its majority of boys that reside in the foster care system? Don’t think that could be painted an image to this developing men that they aren’t all that important to us at all, thus creating them to hate us. 

Women and men need to deal with their own trauma before they have children if they ever hope to raise them into well adjusted, respectful, and mentally healthy adults. Hence, why I will always believe that abortion should be legal, as I feel its better that some of these women not have children, for the sake that we aren’t dealing with more mentally traumatized children.
