Quoting crime statistics based on gender:
Quoting crime statistics based on race:
Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old “13/50” trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It’s punching down at marginalized people.
This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It’s satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It’s punching up at sexist men.
So…statistics are only valid when they promote your ideals?
For real
In terms of frequency, women are significantly worse than men; men more damage per physical act of violence.
In terms of emotional and psychological violence, women are so far ahead of the race they disappeared over the horizon.
what’s unnerving is that there lots of POW reports that indicate that women showcase far more cruelty towards female POWs compared to men.
Pathetic. Get in the game, women.
>makes ragebait post for men
>laughs at men getting ragebaited
>pretends like ragebaiting people is progressive in any way
Is this ragebait? I’m a man and I thought it was funny. This is the kind of thing I would say to the feminists I know.
Don’t worry, we men are already evening out the odds by getting our panties twisted in a bunch over a clever meme.
People refusing to commit crimes deserve a raise.
Those who commit crimes should be living together aways from those who do not.
And they’ve always gotta be the victim. 🙄
Aren’t men much more likely to fight each other than a woman?
Not me, I’ll fight any woman. Probably won’t win, but that doesn’t make me any less brave.
I mean jokes are fine but this kinda borders on bad taste
I have to imagine that it was also a joke. I see it as a continuation of the original joke
If it helps at all, it’s not entirely true, statistically, just very slightly funny when not explained. Men are like 75% of the victims in homicides and lead in other violent crimes, if my Googling is correct. Women do lead in other categories, though, so it’s still competitive. I’m not trying to take anything away from anybody. But I also admit “borders on bad taste” is pretty much the line I walk.
You reminded me of a dead stupid subway sign I saw once, it was about the fact 1 in 4 homeless were women, which don’t get me wrong everyone deserves a home, but it was so tone deaf in delivery it felt like unintentional parody
So men are unfairly discriminating against women by excluding them from their murders?! It never ends with these jerks!
14%
Prudish much?
Why? It’s factual. According to men, it’s always a woman’s fault.
According to men
We polled 2.5 men and they all agreed
Hey, it’s 80% of reported violent crime. We’re just better at it and don’t get caught, obvs.
Hey, it’s 80% of reported violent crime
Police are already abysmal at actually documenting reported crimes. That’s double so when it runs against the toxic reactionary attitudes common to these departments.
The real reason women love true crime podcasts: learning from the mistakes of others
And watching all the men fail
Sometimes minor league ball is a more interesting game.
I am officially calling true crime tv “the minor leagues”
80% of violent crime? Cute. Lesbians are busy cornering the space crime market (allegedly).
deleted by creator
That was a fake, just so you’re aware. Still hilarious as a meme.
oh… I guess it’s true what they say… never meet your heroes…
Be the lesbian space crime you want to see I guess?
Law and Order: Lesbian Space Crime Unit
Be gay. Do space crime
But but but if they did 80% then MEN wouldn’t be taken seriously!!!
How so? They can both do 80%. This will increase the total number of crimes to 160% but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to pay to protect equality, the second amendment and the free world.
That’s not how maths works.
[Excuse me while I “mansplain”] But if women want to increase their violent crimes to match men’s, they need to increase by an additional 300%. This would result in a total increase of violent crimes of 60% more violent crime.
C’mon girls! Try harder!
Do your part to achieve equality!
Then maybe men can cease being expected to open doors, put toilet seats down, put women and children first, die in wars, buy dinner and flowers, carry all the heavy things, fend off attackers, fix everything, [(quietly)] die younger, thrive without emotional support, be sole provider as a trad-hubby gentleman sigma-male feminist-ally bad-boy softie stoic emoting funny but only in a specific way and tall but not too tall and looking good with a six-pack without spending time working on it and whatever else in the cluster of impossible contradictions, alone.
Nah, bitches love my gut
🎸🇺🇸🦅
FUCK YEAH!
So who’s committing the final 80% of crime then? Nonbinary people?
80% (women) + 80% (men) + 80% (non binary) + 80% (pets) = 160% (total)
math checks out.
What about children. Why won’t anyone ever think of the children!!!???!
Children aren’t allowed to do crime. It’s illegal for them
that’s why we call them innocent.
Fascist!!!
Don’t blame me, I don’t make the rules
Checkmate feminists.
Gonna be trotting out the ol’ 13/50 next?
But this one is accurate and that one is white suprematist nonsense.
Would the stat be alright if it was actually factual? Because not all of the stats racists use are false you know
If my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike. Y’all are some stupid motherfuckers.
“You see, the problem with racism is the statistics are incorrect. If the science behind it is solid, bigotry is actually fine.”
That is not what your moral and intellectual superior said or implied.
“You see, as you better, my opinion is above reproach by the likes of you. I am a progressive.”
Nope, you’re just wrong.
“You see, I’m better than others, and my opinions are correct, whatever they are. I have never reflected on this.”
🤣🤣🤣
Imagine running an excavator with a hard hat on like you don’t have ROPS/FOPS.
Imagine getting out of the excavator to go to the loo and getting hit in the head by a brick.
Imagine not putting on a hard hat when you’re no longer protected by ROPS/FOPS.
I cannot find my glasses when I am wearing them. I don’t think I am going to put a hardhat on when I forgot I am not wearing it.
You need pretty good situational awareness in construction, doubly so when you’re operating heavy equipment.
And the hat doesn’t even have a strap
“ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) and FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) are safety features integrated into heavy machinery to protect operators.”
For everyone else unfamiliar with those acronyms!
Thank you!!
Could be in and out of the machine often at a site/plant that requires it outside and doesn’t bother to take it off?
The reality is that it’s probably a photoshoot
I think the brand-newness of her clothes and hard hat, as well as full makeup, indicate that it’s a photo shoot and she is not actually an equipment operator.
Yup. Beat me to it. In and out, easiest place to keep it, still on your head.
You do realize everyone has to wear a hard hat on a construction site by osha safety standards right?
I’m googling OSHA and it seems to be some American thing, not a global rule?
Don’t other countries have their own Oshas just called Something else?
If you are talking globally then using a country specific name for it seems confusing
But just because you are talking on a global forum doesn’t mean you can’t talk about your personal experience
You were talking to someone else though, not just saying how it is for you
What do you mean? We’re just describing what we see in the picture and how it compares to our lived experience.
Does your country have an osha or can people go to construction sites without hardhats, or do you have a regulating body but hardhats aren’t required / the rules aren’t enforced?
Saying OSHA is like saying Kleenex to us, we don’t even realize it is a brand name. It has become the generic term in our en_us language anyway.
The crane operators I work with defintely dont.
They are above the rules. Unless you’re on one of the cranes with the security cameras
No theyre just supposed to.
That’s what the FOPS is for.
I, for one, for sure, would be grateful for the hard hat in a ROPS event. Even a FOPS event.
You’d need a chin strap for the hat to stay on if you’re upside down.
True.
Especially when wearing one that’s too big and loose.
FOPS isn’t going to help if one of those violent criminals tomahawk-throws a framing hammer at your head!
Sure it is a redundant protection but as a longtime journey level construction worker I can tell you you still have to wear a hard hat on construction sites anywhere on site
As a long time equipment operator who puts their hard hat on only outside of the equipment, okay.
I know in my area this hard hat rule is strictly enforced.
Do we have Americans (no rules) vs Canadians (actual safety) going on in this discussion?
Safety does not apply to immigrants.
Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.
No offense but we just moved from everyone on a construction site needs one to the construction sites in your area needs one.
I wouldn’t have disagreed with you if you started with that.
I know cal osha requires everyone at all times needs a hard hat on a construction site. I don’t work small private residential cal osha may be more strict on bigger jobs but it is an osha requirement here so I assumed it was a federal osha policy. I know it was definitely covered in my osha 10 and OSHA 30 courses. I was also an instructor for my trade union and this is what is taught in the nationwide union curriculum and yes any heavy equipment we use we have to wear a hard hat while operating nationwide In my trade.
You still wear your cup throughout the whole shift though right?
I can just imagine it now. Me, in my little hard hat, on a big ol excavator, paying no mind to the ROPS/FOPS overhead, completely safe from all the debris that wants nothing more than to crack open my noggin, excavating to my hearts content!
Oh what a day that would be!
Wow, com’on now we can do this!
