In the wake of all the men who have been outed as sexual harassers and weak attempts at excusing their behavior by them and their apologists, Kate Harding sent out a tweet and that and the replies to it are well worth reading as beautiful examples of the power of role reversals to reveal hypocrisy.

I have friends that talk about stabbing men all the time; it’s just locker-room talk though. I don’t think it means anything until they actually are caught stabbing someone.
I would never stab anyone, ever.
Unless it was absolutely necessary.

In the kitchen a couple weeks ago, I stabbed myself in the hand.
Does that count?
A reply I did not see (but I came nowhere close to reading all the replies) that should be there might go something like, “He claims I stabbed him, but just look at his face… No. Way!”
Hey, it all depends on how you define “stabbing”. I mean, the way these meninists are, they think *everything* is stabbing. It’s ridiculous!
All of my stabbing of men has been completely consensual. That they weren’t wearing body armour demonstrates clearly that they wanted to be stabbed.

True. It’s only a real stabbing if you hold them down and they are struggling and screaming “no no no!” If you stab them all quiet and sudden-like, it’s not really stabbing. And if they’re passed out drunk and you just stick the tip of your knife in, that’s not really a stab.

That’s a relief.
*Not really. I’m straightforward about all my knives, daggers and swords.
the fact that this quickly turned from harassment into a rape comparison kind of shows why stabbing is a bad analogy, the fact that i need to point this out is worrying to say the least.

Harassment is part of rape culture with many of the same arguments and motivations. Harvey Weinstein, for example, has been accused of both.
If they don’t like it, why do they watch so many gory movies? They may act all shy and deny it when you ask them outright, but I bet many men secretly fantasize about a woman being so consumed by passion she can’t resist stabbing them.

You were the first in this thread to use the word “rape”.
@9tabby the point is stabbing is a decent analogy for that…… not harrassment
@11 chigau i would direct you to 5,6 and 7….. of course i was the only one to use the word they were using an analogy lol im sorry but i dont know what that has to do with anything
In some industries, stabbing practically comes with the job, so men should know that before they decide to go into something like food service if they don’t want to get stabbed. When you work around knives all day, the stabbing just comes naturally.
Don’t you guys warn each other when you know a woman is stabbity? It’s really your fault for not telling literally every man she could have possibly encountered that she was a stabber. It’s like you want each other to get stabbed.
