I’m not going to lie to you this is a contender for the funniest thing I’ve read in my life I literally thought this was first class absurdism I cannot believe OP posted this without a hint of sarcasm.
Let me explain to you why this metaphor is so fucking stupid and insensitive.
Most cases of child dumping are motivated by poverty or social pressures such as teen or single pregnancy. Individuals who dump their children almost always have no choice, almost always live with this intense weight over them for the rest of their life. Most of the time they do it under threat of disownment, stigma or homelessness, it’s a desperate decision caused by lack of contraceptives and sometimes even rape.
Rape is a choice that’s never justified. It’s never a life or death situation. Never in a man’s life is there a time where has the choice of raping someone or being disowned. Rapists chose to do that out of their own thirst for power. And you know what? Their buddies usually turn a blind eye.
Women have a reason to be terrified of men and unless you start accepting that and trying to change it, you can’t play the victim.
AND hypothetically if you want to stop child abandonment, start giving the community resources.
Let me explain to you why your analysis is incorrect.
1) the point of this post was to bring up that “teach men not to rape” is both generalizing men as the only rapists, and saying that they are ingerently criminal, in need of education to stop.
The counter was generalizing women as baby dumpers and stating that they need to be taught not to do that. Personally, i would have gone with “teach gay people not to molest children” or “teach black people not to murder” since they have a heavier impact.
2) Please please please stop trying to justify dumping your baby in the trash. You can give a child up for adoption, give custody to the father, have a family member or a friend take care of the child, or even leave your home. I grew up in a very poor neighborhood and teens whose parents strongly disaproved of them having children at that age eere dealt with. One of our very close friend’s mother movedout and with a friend when his mother was kicked out. We have been to poorer countries than the US where people have fewer options, and they still don’t go around justifying killing babies.
You cannot blame this on abortion, or contraceptives, or anything like that. It is dodging. The fact is that the woman three her baby away, not because she had to, but because she didnt want to face the opinions of others and work it out. Again, people in much much much worse situations manage to figure it out without essentially murdering someone.
3) You proved the point of the post by trying to justify fearing men for being men. If fearing black people for being black was okay, you would call it oppression. What you are showing is a sexist negative generalization. No one is dangerous or criminal for how they were born. Middle eastern people are not terrorists by default, black people arent murderers by default, gay people arent child molesters by default, and men arenot rapists by default. If you fear someone over such a generalization, you need to see a therapist. This isn’t mockery either, i have literally worked with people like you with actual therapists.
4) just like rape, murder, etc, people abandoning, hurting, or killing babies will never stop. The most we can do is make it illegal, and discourage everyone (male or female) from doing it.
I’m sure in some places you’re also allowed to drop off a baby at a firehouse or hospital no questions asked ? So instead of putting a baby in a dumpster to die, just drop it off somewhere where it’ll be found and taken care of ? Hell, even someone’s doorstep with a note asking them to do it for you is better than dropping one in a dumpster
^^^ there are dozens if not hundreds of much safer options than throwing a baby into a dumpster to die.
