Bro. I'm a man. I have hormones. I also know how to control them.
"Men will be men" is an unfair generalization.
Because we have allowed this behavior to be acceptable, we have excused it with cute phrases like, “men will be men.”
It is not always men. I am a man and I have been sexually assaulted by a woman.
Still its a fucking low amount of men. Its not men at large. It's these specific criminally abusive individuals.
Which one is it? Always men, or not always men?
Statistically it's men like 90% of the time.
Source?
Here's an ABS nedia release that claims 97% of sexual assault offenders are male: https://www.abs.gov.au/media-centre/media-releases/97-cent-sexual-assault-offenders-are-male
So i'd say it very reasonable to say gender is the #1 indicator for whether someone will commit sexual crimes. (Also note that if you look into murder, assault, child abuse etc, all of these are similarly one sided. It's mostly males who do these things.)
Welk, that sucks :/
This screams "all lives matter"
No it doesn't. The term "Black Lives Matter" doesn't exclude other people's lives from mattering so responding with the term "All Lives Matter" is weird.
In this case we are blindly labeling billions of people as being problematic when there is obviously some nuance.
I really hate the "men will be men" argument. Real men don't rape or sexually harass people.
this thinking removes the sexual harasser's & rapist's responsibility for their crimes and moves it to their gender/DNA.
When criminal conduct is enabled, crime will escalate.
And saying not all men gives every man an excuse in their mind as to why they don't need to do anything about the problem with their peers.
Yes! It absolves men of their responsibility to make their society/community safe and it ensures that if they become a problem then other men will not stop them.
“Men will be men” just excuses the behaviour and ostracizes men who don’t do these things. It has less to do with their sex and more to do with how we raise men.
Toxic masculinity as a defence mechanism of patriarchal society is the main problem and “feminine”, “emotional” or “weak” men, or those not subscribing to heteronormative sexuality are targeted by the same types to uphold their status.
Boys will be boys is something frequently said by mothers. But of course that's fact doesn't fit the "patriarchy" narrative.
