Why does no one hold men accountable

When men pass comments on women's body parts, people around do nothing or make excuses for men saying "men will be men". Men learn that they can get away with small thing, next they go and do something bigger.

Where i live, women are punished just for having sexuality! But men are made excuses for their sexuality

The tides are changing. Going forward especially after Epstein, R Kelly, T.I, Bill Cosby, Havey Weinstein etc.

That kind of shit was never acceptable but it'll be called out more now(I hope)

The men will be men excuse is really starting to wear thin now. There should be more consequences for their snide and inappropriate comments. And I'm so sorry to hear that where you are women are punished just because men need to view you that way! 😞

Yeah I don't believe you. Men get punished all the time for remarks about women. Their jobs get taken away, their reputations destroyed, etc. There's a reason men are avoiding women in the workplace these days, because men aren't trying to catch a courtcase and lose their careers, because also often times, women will falsely accuse men of things and make up stories about them for attention on social media or attention in the work place. About making remarks btw, women will say way worse things about men in a locker room or other environments if given the chance to. Someone I was talking to the other day said he coached for a sports team for 12 year girls and that they were saying way worse things than most men they know, saying sexual things about men specifically. Besides, it's not my job to police other people and control what they do or say all because I share the same genitals as them. That doesn't make any sense. As an adult, I'm not responsible for anybody besides myself.

@sahi81 Yeah I agree.
sahi81 · 22-25, F
@Holden men here say they r protecting us women by denying women rights. But they don't take action on bad men who pass comments or predate on women, say "men will be men" and let them get away from many small things until one day they end up doing something worst

@sahi81 yeah in India men culturally are different than men from US. I have heard that about men in India, though. Not the first time I'm hearing that, sadly.

It's not like that everywhere. There are environments where it swings in the opposite direction and even harmless joke or compliment from a man is taken as an insult, while women can be openly sexist and everyone finds it funny. At least where I live, it depends on what kind of people you surround yourself with or what kind of place you work at.

@CrazyMusicLover which country u from
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@sahi81 Slovakia but if you look at some conversations on here on SW, you can see it too.

That might be due to where you live.

What do you want people to do about it?
Baremine · 70-79, C
@sahi81 the problem is 90% of the men are not bad. Could be you are hanging around the wrong places. Women should be held accountable also. It isn't a one way street.
sahi81 · 22-25, F
@Baremine i think 20% r worst, in my personal experience. I live in India. So maybe it depends on country. and other 20% r bad bcuz being misogynistic ... easily 40%. idk... it's only my personal experience and observation.

Yes, women too play victim-card a lot . I am not denying
Baremine · 70-79, C
@sahi81 you are 100% right. Country and religion play a major role. I will back off as I am in USA.

Almost half of America are voting for a rapist so that’s ghe state of things there.

I am sorry. I think awareness and education is the first step. It’s very hard when one lives in a country where these issues are ignored by the mainstream for the most part. Perhaps you could search for your local women organisations that have relevant educational material on this issue. It’s a start.
Who is in charge of assigning responsibility ,primarily
@sahi81 and are the people in those roles male or female , by numbers
sahi81 · 22-25, F
@PepsiColaP most are males.

Women talking to other women never make comments about men.
