Violence against women needs to stop

no, that's not a plan; how are you going to get funding?
if you truly want to help men, creating solidarity between the sexes is where you begin; these things start from grass roots, the local. How you get extra funding is muscle-- muscling retards in power.
how you get men and women working together is another thing. but listening is where it begins, NOT with funding.

I'm not trying to 'get you', but I'm fed up of hearing how awful everything is, and the only solution given is to bat your eyes at some city official to 'oh please won't you help us out?'
you know, the people in power are ones we need to be in opposition to.

I understand this is r9k. I want more than anything to create a local group. I want reform in schools. But I have very bad social anxiety.
it's just not enough to vote or post on twitter, or be upset about rape. at least be upset about WHY rape happens-- the systemic issue which perpetuate, make excuses for it, cover it up, and so on.
when there is reform it's rolled back. you know, so, thanks thatcher! it's like that in politics.

Funds through public services. By funding I'm generalising. Maybe what I mean is more mental health projects/communties. I'm not sure where you're based but I also believe in your local approach. I believe there are schemes such as community gardens, days out and group therapy held around a community centre is a good place to start. How do you propose you get people to listen? We're in an age where people can become very rooted in their beliefs.

I'm not looking to get caught out or have an argument. I'm genuine and curious about even in an individual level what can be done.

R9k isn't always such a bad place. There are a few undamned souls left. I complete. Agree is not just enough to tweet #MeToo or donate to your local rape crisis counselling centre (which btw, in the UK, majority are female exclusive - fucked I know). I am upset about why rape happens. Why rape happens motivates me to try understand motives and support those in crisis.

>To readers
Post honest opinion (try to be serious for once if you're capable I want to learn).

>Why do you think rape happens?
>Do you feel, given a situation, you would rape somebody?
>Any personal experiences of rape

Obviously there hasn't been enough because you keep shitting up my board. Get the fuck out, female.

Oh God no. No, no, no, no, no This is one of the most indirectly sexist things I have heard all day. The solution to stopping male violence against women is NOT to continue pandering to men by giving THEM more funding and support services when we need to be supporting women. That just makes men feel even more entitled which increases the cycle of misogynistic violence. We need to start identifying early signs of potentially violent men (particularly disaffection and social alienation, which usually begin to be visible during adolescence) and then we need to remove these men from society.

women don't have any real problems in the modern west. just shut the fuck up already you entitled cunt

>Fucking tard, why should we give a shit about who gets hurt?

If something horrible happened to you, would you want people to sympathize with you and try to help, or would you want them to just point and laugh at you?

Say it with me
FUCK WOMEN

>we live in an age where people are very rooted in their beliefs
well, people often engage in double speak. i think it's very common to believe that mental illness is something wholly genetic or that men shouldn't show their emotions while also believing the exact opposite. so I'd completely disagree-- in this age, as you put it, the population is characterised by knowing what's wrong but being totally apathetic to the solutions.
It's in people's experiences, where they've suffered and seen people suffer. i genuinely think that if you create the right environment, where people can get together in order to 'do something', people will come out of their shells.
at the same time people are used to hostility (from equals, from higher powers), and it needs a light touch.
>community gardens, group therapy
I like these, actually.
i heard about gardens for the homeless to take food from. it's creating solidarity of that kind that helps foster movements.
group therapy is okay. I'm skeptical that it might push the idea that they're individual problems. as long as people recognise that there's a systemic element to them. as in women coming together to discuss what problems they collectively face, and then they can go onto support each other as individuals.

why rape happens is pretty complicated. I don't know if it's a good place to start.
usually if we end up trying to address rape in itself we'll stop at rape centres, which are not a solution in themselves at all. it's not enough to support rape victims. it has to be about prevention.

the best action for preventing rape would be real empathy and co-operation. and education can only happen when you're willing, so it has to be between and by individuals, not the state.
the things i hate most likely wouldn't solve rape, but they would solve other specific issues. and it's up to local communities to decide what to address.

(it was too long)

about group therapy: usually men's rights takes a weird turn, and they fall into reaction beliefs. it's annoying, so this is why I say men and women should co-operate.
hopefully the women would rub off on the men.

...obviously. I'm not a faggot you know.
