That’s true and worth noting. The difference is much starker when the benchmark is food and fuel, since real estate (and stocks) rose much higher compared to other things.

Between 2020 and 2024 there was about 22% inflation. 1.22x$195,400=$238,388. So there’s still over $110,000 of price inflation to account for past devaluation of the dollar.

Women rapists are more rare. And comments like this only serve to promote rape culture.

They exist, right? In direct contradiction to what the sign is plainly saying, right? But pointing that out is somehow promoting rape culture? That is ridiculous and offensive. They mean to exclude an entire category of survivors. To believe that slogan and uncritically repeat it, you’d need to be willfully ignorant and have the emotional intelligence of a turnip.

Sex abuse of all kinds is evil and a social menace. By people of any gender, against people of any gender. No equivocation, full stop.

I’m not out to debate the statistics of “REAL problem” with you. I’m pointing out that it’s counterproductive (and I believe morally wrong) to tell survivors they’re unworthy because their abuser was a woman. I get the feeling some people care more about gendering this issue than they do about about victims of abuse.

most of the men I know tend to think abusive men are always other men

I’m sure most if not all abusers are in denial and don’t consider themselves abusers, but this slogan gives a pass to ones who happen to be women by insisting that they don’t exist at all.

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy, and invest their energy in being better and calling out their fellow men to try and improve your collective reputation

This is bald-faced, shameless bigotry and reflects a real lack of self awareness

Seemed pretty clear to me that @[email protected] is calling me a rapist for daring to criticize the claim that rapists are always men

I’ll take the bait too because I’ve personally known a female abuser (never did anything to me but raped a 14 year old as a teacher) and it makes me furious that a so-called activist would not only disregard crime that doesn’t fit their narrative, but try to gaslight the rest of the world into doing it too.

not all men but always a man

Pointless sexist bullshit and wrong on its face. I never understood the drive some people have to paint abusive behavior as exclusive to men.

You’d think if they were actually concerned what Israel would do with all those weapons, they’d stop giving them all those weapons

Something isn’t adding up

Is Wisconsin’s law really any different? Most states the test for self defense is reasonable belief that your life is in danger from an imminent threat, but I’d doubt that claim from anyone who is pursuing someone else who is fleeing from them.
