Hey, it’s 80% of reported violent crime. We’re just better at it and don’t get caught, obvs.
The real reason women love true crime podcasts: learning from the mistakes of others
There were several generations of women that killed abusive husbands in ways that looked like accidents.
Hey, it’s 80% of reported violent crime
Police are already abysmal at actually documenting reported crimes. That’s double so when it runs against the toxic reactionary attitudes common to these departments.
But but but if they did 80% then MEN wouldn’t be taken seriously!!!
How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.
🎸🇺🇸🦅
FUCK YEAH!
So who’s committing the final 80% of crime then? Nonbinary people?
80% (women) + 80% (men) + 80% (non binary) + 80% (pets) = 160% (total)
What about children. Why won’t anyone ever think of the children!!!???!
Children aren’t allowed to do crime. It’s illegal for them
Fascist!!!
Don’t blame me, I don’t make the rules
that’s why we call them innocent.
math checks out.
And they’ve always gotta be the victim. 🙄
>makes ragebait post for men
>laughs at men getting ragebaited
>pretends like ragebaiting people is progressive in any way
Quoting crime statistics based on gender:
Quoting crime statistics based on race:
Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old “13/50” trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It’s punching down at marginalized people.
This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It’s satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It’s punching up at sexist men.
So…statistics are only valid when they promote your ideals?
Or is it that, in your mind, the stats that don’t run parallel with your ideals have obviously been misinterpreted or fudged?
Just trying to figure out your stance on statistical data.
Stats are valid when they are used in the proper context and are not being misrepresented. For example, Black and Native American people account for a disproportionate number of drowning deaths in the US. But it would be irresponsible to simply conclude that those groups are inherently bad swimmers. Just like the way the 13/50 trope is irresponsibly used to imply non-whites are inherently more prone to criminal behavior.
All that aside, this meme isn’t attacking men. It’s attacking sexist tropes used against women.
All that aside, this meme isn’t attacking men. It’s attacking sexist tropes used against women.
Nah, it’s a sexist joke. But it’s funny because “Haha, men bad”.
It’s equivalent to making a joke like this: “Men do care about their feelings. Feeling their dick being sucked”
I think this one might have gone over your head mate.
Which part? The fact that OP made a sexist joke, or the part where Lemmy(in general) is vitriolic in response to certain statistics?
Statistics are just numbers. What matters is how they are used. Anyone who has studied stats knows that it’s common to craft misleading conclusions from real data.
So what is the “right” way to use them?
So long as they are helping the “downtrodden”* it’s ok to see the numbers differently?
I have studied statistics. In my studies I learned that numbers do not lie, people lie. And, as was stated before, people can manipulate numbers to match their narrative.
I’ve seen studies published as “fact” just because the author manipulated the numbers to match their findings.
This is what we should base our outlook on?
*in this instance, “downtrodden” refers to the person or group deemed savable by those who are looking to be a savior.
I’ve seen critically reviewed papers that mouth breathers like you are taking up too much oxygen. You should look at yourself in the mirror. How much does it hurt?
Statistics put men globally as being 81% of the victims of violent crime. And the perpetrators of that crime being less than 1% of the male population. So to put it another way, youre making the same argument as racists when they claim that all black guys sell drugs because some black guy sold them a joint one time.
This is just yet another in a long line of “men bad” memes, in an online society that accepts and celebrates bigotry.
Checkmate feminists.
Imagine running an excavator with a hard hat on like you don’t have ROPS/FOPS.
“ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are safety features integrated into heavy machinery to protect operators.”
For everyone else unfamiliar with those acronyms!
You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?
The crane operators I work with defintely dont.
They are above the rules. Unless you’re on one of the cranes with the security cameras
That’s what the FOPS is for.
Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site
As a long time equipment operator who puts their hard hat on only outside of the equipment, okay.
I know in my area this hard hat rule is strictly enforced.
Do we have Americans (no rules) vs Canadians (actual safety) going on in this discussion?
Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.
Safety does not apply to immigrants.
No offense but we just moved from everyone on a construction site needs one to the construction sites in your area needs one.
I wouldn’t have disagreed with you if you started with that.
I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.
FOPS isn’t going to help if one of those violent criminals tomahawk-throws a framing hammer at your head!
Imagine getting out of the excavator to go to the loo and getting hit in the head by a brick.
Imagine not putting on a hard hat when you’re no longer protected by ROPS/FOPS.
Gonna be trotting out the ol’ 13/50 next?
But this one is accurate and that one is white suprematist nonsense.
“You see, the problem with racism is the statistics are incorrect. If the science behind it is solid, bigotry is actually fine.”
That is not what your moral and intellectual superior said or implied.
“You see, as you better, my opinion is above reproach by the likes of you. I am a progressive.”
Nope, you’re just wrong.
“You see, I’m better than others, and my opinions are correct, whatever they are. I have never reflected on this.”
🤣🤣🤣
what’s unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.
Studies have also shown women in power tend to block more women from being promoted to positions of power.
now that’s girl power!
More like, want to have the same outcome as men at 80% of the effort.
Or am I making a shitty effort meme that mimics OP? If you’re offended by this joke and not by OP, think of your own bias.
OP is a lighthearted joke that punches up, whereas yours was the opposite. Maybe think about your own biases, jackass.
how the fuck is attacking men punching “up”? Are men a monolith in your world?
Is it really punching up though? The victim complex is part of the bias, jackass.
Although it might have been funnier to make it 20% effort.
Studies have shown that males are jailed with 8:2 ratio compared to their female counterparts!
We demand equal prison female population for equal criminal efforts! Just because I’m a woman, does not make me an inferior criminal! lmao…!
I am just a 5’ honey badger waiting for my moment. Closest call was that time Jehovah witnesses peered into my car while I was alone at night outside of a store. Turns out they are easily frightened when you hold your car horn down long enough though.
Everybody knows only black males such as myself commit crimes… : exits scene left when the black face starts to sweat off:
This ain’t it, chief.
Wow, com’on now we can do this!
