    I’ve spent 3 weeks of my life in Egypt. In that time I was groped and inappropriately touched about as often as in the entire rest of my life.

    I’m not excusing anything, but I have to say I do kinda understand it.

      yeah, honestly abusing moids in general is ok because so many of them are so shitty, abuse is only bad if men aren’ being abused like I’d defend a AMAB NB but not a moid.

        In part yes, but also make sure to communicate empathy, support and resources while joking.

        It ain’t no joking matter. But some boundaries must be crossed both to deliver change and stand the tyranny of reality.

        while i also find it funny that the roles are reversed int his instance, saying that abuse is not that deep is… questionable

          Sane people, in my internet?!

          Abuse sucks in general, there is more domestic violence and sexual abuse done to women than to men, lots of traditional Muslim countries have very traditional (male-favouring) gender roles, subverting expectations can be funny. What more is there to say?

    Once Egypt’s wives stole chancla techniques from Latin America and repurposed them for use with thick, leather sandals, they became unstoppable.

      (also you might be right cus the article says “The UN crime Statistics Report says that Egyptian Wives not only use their hands but also use different items such as pins, slippers, shoes, weapons, belts, needles, utensils to beat their husbands“)

    That’s because they’re always getting into love Pyramids, which are love triangles but in 3D

    I think this is much more likely to be due to stigma of reporting, how likely it is to be recorded, and perhaps legal classifications changing which statistics bin things get tallied in; than it is to be an accurate reflection of prevalence on actual instances.

    For instance, in the US police are trained in the Duluth Model of domestic violence. This uses the lens of men’s structural power in society, which can erase the situation of individuals. It also struggles to deal with queer couples without projecting inappropriate gender stereotypes.

      If you think that kind of sexism is not as rampant in the counties form the top post I’m afraid your world view is a bit too optimistic. I think it’s entirely possible that it’s correct just because those countries are top scorers in domestic violence, from any side.

        People abusing people is no accomplishment. It is especially disgusting to pick a champion for it based on a physical trait.
