      Yes, it’s the thing keeping you from hearing the same “some women are pedophiles” all the rest of us got just fine.

      Don’t defend pedophiles, even cishet femm ones.

        The article he linked doesn’t say ANYTHING about the gender of offenders. He was sealioning.

        The post is talking about child marriage and OP specified that children of all genders are victims.

        I know some women are pedophiles. I’m not defending them.

            Yeah exactly.

            Why did you feel the need to make sure OP knew that boys are also victims when they already acknowledged that?

            Were you aware that the article you linked says absolutely nothing about the offenders?

              Might’ve overlooked it. Depending on the client and device a short comment can be easy to miss; for me it’s above the image and the image is comparatively much bigger than on the screenshot above. I also overlooked it at first.

              And without the comment as context, the post looks like it states the exact opposite of what it actually does.

              I was repeating the part they already stated and then adding my own addendum after, so there would be less confusion as to which part I was referring to. I guess I failed at that.

              Were you aware that the article you linked says absolutely nothing about the offenders?

              Are you implying that all the marriages of underage boys were gay marriages?

                Absolutely not lol

                You jumped in to say that not all offenders are men and then linked an article that says nothing about offenders of child marriage at all.

                  Okay, follow me here. If the marriages to underage boys aren’t gay marriages, then what would the gender be of the adults marrying the young boys?

                    Lol you realize most of those young boys are being married to young girls in those countries in the article, right? They’re still victims, but I think you’ve missed the big picture on that particular article.

                    Yes, there are some cases where adult women marry young boys and it’s disgusting and just as wrong as when men marry young girls.

                    I found exactly two cases in a brief search:

                    2005 Georgia Case: A 37-year-old woman married a 15-year-old boy in Gainesville, Georgia. While this triggered child molestation charges, the marriage was considered legal due to a state loophole allowing marriage for 15-year-olds if the female is pregnant.

                    2004 Kentucky Case: A 27-year-old woman married a 16-year-old boy shortly after her arrest for having sex with him, as reported by WAVE 3 News.

                    You tell me who the overwhelming offenders are of child marriage. Just take a wild fucking guess.

                    The OP of this post was not discriminating against men and boys. She was posting about April being sexual offence awareness month.

          The image OP posted here implied rather clearly that only men are pedophiles.

          The post you put your first comment on was a “boys can be victims and women can be offenders” statement with a link.

          https://lemmy.world/comment/23372649

          When you decided to respond to such a statement with a nitoick about what the article says, followed it by focusing on the gender of the victims and not the offenders, and then implied that misandry is a myth when you were called on it, you were carrying water for feminine cishet pedophiles.

            The image OP posted here implied rather clearly that only men are pedophiles.

            All men who take child brides are pedophiles, but not all pedophiles marry their victims.

            The post you put your first comment on was a “boys can be victims and women can be offenders” statement with a link.

            The post already says that boys are victims and the link he provided says nothing about offenders at all.

            He was literally replying with a “not all men” statement. Clearly it’s not all men - it’s men who want to marry children.

            then implied that misandry is a myth when you were called on it

            Where did I imply that misandry is a myth? I refuted that I personally am a misandrist.

              How the fuck is “Children of all genders are harmed by sexual predators and all genders can be sexual predators, not just men.” a “not all men” statement?

              Where did I imply that misandry is a myth? I refuted that I personally am a misandrist.

              Where? Because the post of yours that I originally replied to sure as fuck reads as “misandry is a myth, how dare you use that word”

              https://lemmy.world/comment/23373313

              And, in the post this one is attached to, you continue implying that women are not ever comitters of pedophilia, only ever its victims.

              I’m generally willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but I dont see how either of your responses to me at all refute the accusation that you are a man-hating misandrist attempting to spread the idea that all adult pedophiles are men.

              Just saying “I’m not a misandrist” doesn’t count as refutation anymore here than “I’m not a wife beater” would if said by a man with bloody knuckles and a beaten wife. As far as I can tell you dont accept that misandry is a thing that exists, and do not see casual discrimination against men as a bad thing.

                Not just men

                Are you blind? That is a literal “not all men” statement.

                I have never implied once that women aren’t committers of pedophilia. Your linked comments don’t work on my instance, so if you’re quoting something I suggest you actually quote it in your comment.

                If you’re linking to my sarcastic reply about men always being victims, I guess comedy is illegal now lol

                As far as I can tell you dont accept that misandry is a thing that exists, and do not see casual discrimination against men as a bad thing.

                You’re boxing shadows - I have not once in this entire thread said what you are claiming.
