Saw this on women's stuff and didn't wanna engage cause that space isnt for me, but felt like this was a 10/10 post and wanted more people to see and think about it!

Feel free to cross post if you can think of broader communities where more people would be able to see it, this is just the comm that came to mind :)

I wish cis men would take accountability instead of throwing temper tantrums. We know cis women can be dangerous. A lot of trans people have stories about cis women hurting us. But there's a very clear difference in how cis men are treated versus everyone else, and how much violence and harassment is excused when it's done against the rest of us. It's worse when you're trans, too.

Now this post is about women specifically. If someone wants to make an image for violence against men or nonbinary people then do it and stop complaining.

    Yeah, I think thats part of what's frustrating to me about some of the comments- describing the ways in which men participate in or allow for the victimization of women doesn't preclude women can do harm or men can be harmed.

    A lot more people read this as a personal attack than I expected. I get why people sometimes feel frustrated or defensive about the way men are painted with a broad stroke, but the post is really just about understanding the "ladder of enablement" nature of how harm happens to women, and thats a really important concept I feel the image does an extremely good job visualizing

  • Honestly, trans men aren't much better. I've talked to others about the rampant sexism in the gay community especially against trans masculine and nonbinary people. The response I got from trans men was defensiveness and my comments being deleted. A lot of men (not all) can't take criticism.

    I wonder if part of that comes from the top bar, it being 90% white when 10% red primes thinking about it as portion of the population whereas (at least how I believe you are describing it) the second graph is about depicting more of the spectrum of the different stances without regard to population size. I wonder if making the first bar 50-50 would help clarify that it's moreso showing the view of either your evil or you arnt.
