Yay! More posts made for the sole purpose of reinforcing imgur's misunderstanding of feminism! /s
1spodaspakers
I have yet to see one of these that's anywhere near as bad as the racist ass shit on our FP
ilikegummylifesavers
Without his second story to provide more context, it still sounds creepy. I would be questioning his truthfulness more than his motives.
Motornerve
Oh look, controversial point bait from Tumblr. That never happens on imgur at all...
ayoungerdumberronswanson
So he drove her home without a seatbelt?
BurntRamen
I wouldn't call what happened to him feminism. Just stupid.
mauxrobles
WHOA. People have wayyyy to much time on their hands when they nitpick people looking after each other at parties. That's not real feminism
robingal1
I'm very glad to have read this; it was needed. But the bit about women spending their whole lives avoiding being followed needed to be said
thatguyyouthinkyouknow7
plot twist, that wasn't her mom
Metalgearslade
The fact that he made the 'house owner' out to be a rapist is making me call bullshit along with a lot of other stuff actually.
1spodaspakers
TL;DR guy wants a medal for not raping a girl, tumblr calls him a liar, imgur for some reason cares
themiddled
do you even know what yik yak is?
LetsRide
no
GozerTheGozerian
Heh. Was about to post pretty much the same thing. Beat me to it. +1 to you.
thisnameisnottaken
Still funny.
Tyrannotron
Not sure what this has to do with feminists, looks more like people calling bullshit on a story that still has no evidence of being true.
felltastic
I can type a long story about how an apple fell on my head but that doesn't prove I was the one who came up with Gravity.
AFriken12gaugewhatdoyouthink
THIS! Yik yak is anonymous, there's no way of knowing that this guy who responded actually did it...
AirForceJuan
To be fair, I wouldn't pick up someone who passed out in fear of hurting them, and call their emergency contact.
am0k
What about the guy supposed rapist that was going to let the girl crash at his place? That's profiling too.
TiberiusClaudiusCogidubnus
I do not know any ladies who are as worried about stalkers as Tumblr. Actually, I know one. But she has a stalker.
EpicPublixCustomerServiceStaff
Well that's unfortunate, but I can certainly see why it worries her

TattooedWife
I am upset by the fact that people feel they deserve a pat on the back for NOT committing a crime and doing what is right.
DisgruntledFerret
This is a person making a comment about a nice thing they did and then getting gossiped about by tumblr solely on the basis of being a man.
TattooedWife
This is not the only post I am referring to.
DisgruntledFerret
You might be upset about this weird idea of someone bragging about their good deed for the day, but I'm upset by the sexism.
TattooedWife
It's not just this post I'm referring to.
outrecord
Or you know. Take people who are so drunk they're non responsive to the hospital
SuccesfulFailure
Yay! Let's waste resources because some one is a little too drunk!
outrecord
Theres a difference between "a little drunk" and "non responsive drunk". Alcohol poisoning is a real thing, you know.
SuccesfulFailure
I know. But people seem to go to hospital for the smallest things these days. And you can usually tell if some one is dangerously drunk.
TheGirlWithTheGiraffeTattoo
Well, it kind of also "speaks volumes" that nobody believed you.
StringVariable
Before we bash on tumblr for their stupidity and hypocrisy, shouldn't we ask whether we wouldn't come to same skeptical conclusions?
CorruptedLife
Without context it comes across as strong possibility of foul play. I didn't read all the tumblr part and they probably overreacted butstill
MobileUserGundam
I know I sure as hell would've. Just doesn't sound like a believable story.
KidGokuOmega
We would but not just because of OP being a man. We would call out OP but most comments would have a joking nature.
Secsletariat
I don't think they did anything wrong, it *was* creepy without the context of "I couldn't find a family member and the homeowner was creepy"
CorruptedLife
We should also ask ourselves if it's wrong to be skeptical of it, which it's not.
coolwaterNJ
I'm skeptical why she wasn't allowed to sleep it off upstairs. Why did the host suddenly become a rapist for also offering something nice
Animaniacs
Probably from the tone of voice and insinuations, so the guy felt the offer was not in her best interest.
kattahn
i guess maybe just being unsure? i can leave her here and hope nothing happens, or take her home and make sure nothing happens...
applesareoverrated
no ones saying hes a rapist. you can never be sure though. its not like rapists have 'im a rapist' tattooed on their foreheads
iusemyownusernamethankyou
(1/?) I used to know this kid middle school- 10th grade. He seemed super cool and innocent. Always being super nice and shit. Anyways
iusemyownusernamethankyou
(2/?) while school ended (3pm) he stayed in the classroom asking this girl to talk with him in private. I walked away thinking nothing was
iusemyownusernamethankyou
(3/?) wrong. At 7 pm the girl called me saying he locked the door and then sexually assaulted her. She then threatened to scream and he
iusemyownusernamethankyou
(4/?) laughed while walking away. This kid got straight A's, teachers pet, and everyone's friend. Moral of the story; evil exists everywhere
SaturdayMidmorning
I'm skeptical. Not convinced that was the actual guy and not someone enjoying a nice long troll. The internet is lies.
marquisdechocula
somebody would do that?
DastardlyBananas95
Asking the REAL QUESTIONS… seriously.
Jpapas
no, must bash tumblr, must always bash tumblr, must never stop bashing tumblr
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
Tumblr wasn't crying "fake" over the story, they were crying "rape".
22Below
The tumblr users debating the post clearly say they don't think the story is real at least once
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
I see more text about "dude's a creep, just wanted to get her somewhere alone to rape her" than questioning if it actually happened.
22Below
Calling him creepy sure, but I see nothing accusing him of trying to rape her
NexiKuro
I'm still skeptical, A bunch of people from 4chan joined that site. This is one 80s song reference away from being a 10/10 greentext.
StringVariable
♪Take me on. Take on me.
NexiKuro
When I told her her daughter was in my car, her mom opened the door, dropped on the floor and everybody did the dinosaur. ♪
theaddicted
Who gives a shit, its the internet? I think the whole thing is bollocks!
ToastedVanilla
I don't know about feminists. Regardless it does sound like a weird and implausible story.
ilikegummylifesavers
Thank you! God, everyone is so eager to jump on a hater bandwagon and ignores the fact that this story is so full of holes it must be Swiss.
ToastedVanilla
Yeah, this really has nothing to do with feminism or with his gender, it just sounds like an upvote whore made up story.
ToastedVanilla
And excuse me if I don't believe his longer story either.
scojbo
A tad hypocritical. The guy immediately presumes that the host has negative intentions, but is appalled when we presume the same of him?
StoneTalon
Everyone involved could have articulated their intentions and perceptions a little more clearly. There's already too much ignorance.
Jrex42
Agreed. You see someone at a party leaving with a passed out girl & you get worried. The host might have been just as worried about this guy
Ificknlovethisshit
And yet he still did nothing.... Yeah, he must be a good guy...
squip
To be fair, though, it appeared she was getting bad vibes from the homeowner, but who knows.
ragekritz
Possibly. Honestly if this were a bunch of my friends, ladies could sleep at the hosts house without worrying cause we aren't terrible.
JollyJokzr
The host may have thought the same. Really, what are the odds of anything bad happening either way, assuming the people are somewhat normal?
applesareoverrated
odds may be less but the consequences are terrible. also, if he did have bad intentions its not like he'd let them be known. cant be sure.
Syng42
Please do not rely on 'the odds' when it comes to possible rape.
JollyJokzr
To some degree you have to trust the people around you. I'd have zero worries leaving a passed out woman with any of my friends.
SubparSandwich
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking too...
OhNoILitMyselfOnFire
I agree with you 1000%.
NotoriousDuchess
That's exactly what I was thinking. The whole premise of his actions is based on the same thing he is accusing tumblr of doing...
mateysaidwot
On the other hand, the host was right there in the room with him. Perhaps giving off the sort of signals that don't appear in a text.
OneMoreDanceAndImLikeYEAHhowthehellamisupposedtoleave
Thank you for saying this!!
Cavendishelous
The guy was probably so stern about her staying there because who trusts some guy who volunteers to take a passed out girl home?
Cavendishelous
He looked just as sketchy, if not more. Lookin' shady as fuck, going through her phone. The host was right in assuming he had bad intentions
RenektonBot
Can we please stop calling these people "Feminists?"
emmatronna

Malkiot
Tumblr breaths feminism and vomits forth misandry.
CaptainLibrarian
They're making the rest of us look bad.
oscarblaseklein
There femi-nazis which think men should die
neanderbob
Just like radicals of every group are grouped in with the moederates. All parties, all platforms. It helps the opposition rant.
ragekritz
Yes, but It'd be even better if they stopped calling themselves that too.
Sithrak
I'm just shocked this isn't labeled anti-feminist circlejerk, like every other misandry post.
SuckItBlue
No, because human rights are the way to go. Not feminism, not mras.
RenektonBot
...Wait, no what?
pandorafalters
The last thing? Men's rights activists.
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
People relate to some causes more than others. There's nothing inherently wrong with focusing on a particular kind of inequality.
AncalagontheBlack
Personally, I just dislike feminists who claim they are fighting for both genders when the movement is still blatantly women-centric.
Winterous
And actively works against men's rights groups.

Feminazis
Bent0916
When Feminism stops creating them, sure. For now, Feminism is THE root of this behavior.
actuallyMikeTyson
so wanting to be treated the same as someone means you want to be treated better than them?
Bent0916
They don't want equal treatment. They have it, and they're still pushing for me. Women have even been AHEAD for years on most metrics.
actuallyMikeTyson
ok but you're totally wrong except in the area of prison sentencing and assault charges.
Bent0916
Women don't face the same risks in our society so they don't get the same rewards when they do succeed.
Bent0916
Nah, how about school performance? Uni enrollment? DV laws? "Rape Culture" hysteria? Homelessness? Suicide? Men lose nearly everywhere.
Bent0916
Men are a majority of executive positions because they're also a majority of the homeless, suicidal, manual labor, etc. It's a payoff.
Bent0916
Because men are expected to fight more. To be more self-sufficient. When they fail, they fail harder. When they succeed, more rewards.
actuallyMikeTyson
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/30/opinion/sunday/the-myth-of-male-decline.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 here's one article, I can find more

She basically sweeps every metric under the rug aside from executive corporate and political positions, some of few areas men still lead.

As soon as they stop calling themselves feminists, yes.

well no we can't because they identify them self that way we still call extremist muslims muslim even though they don't represent Islam well
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
Bullshit they don't.
RAVantas
Oh, fuck off.
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
One day you'll learn all about islam. On that day, you'll grow up and be someone worthy of a rejoinder.
themiddled
i have no idea what you mean by this
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
What I mean is that it's utter bullshit that "Islamic Extremists" do not represent Islam. They might not represent moderate muslims.
themiddled
i have researched the founding of Islam i understand what you are saying but the majority of people who say the are muslim r not extremist
glitchead
The worst part about this is that they are feminists because they identify as one, so we have no right to say they are not. They're assholes
RobotCosmonaut
1) The first dude sounds like the feminist to me. "This speaks volumes about what usually happens to girls." He recognizes a real problem
RobotCosmonaut
2) and goes out of his way to do the right thing, helping her and bettering society a little bit too.
Corin
The fact of the matter is that this is what the main, active branch of feminism currently is.
Nas160
Thank you...people who don't get the context might think that feminists are supposed to be misandrist. I mean, the term... (1/2)
Nas160
"feminism" can already easily imply female dominance over men for people who don't know what it means. (2/2)
solomine
They may be feminists. They may even call themselves feminists. In this case, all we know is they were madly jumping to conclusions.
ImJustHereSoIDontGetFined
You can't even tell if the doubter identifies as a feminist from this post. They could just as easily be your every day cynic.
WhimsicalCalamari
The only one that shows any hint of feminist ideology is the one that said "But Joe..." and she wasn't being extreme, just condescending.
Centroid
The problem is they call themselves feminists.
eatingketchupchips
the problem is we give them an even louder voice by screenshotting their shit and putting it on here calling it "feminism"
Centroid
I think we can all agree thee are numerous problems surrounding this assholery
DarthFutuza
I never liked the "feminism" word anyway, it always implied it was more about women then equality. Why not genderism? Or equalism, etc...?
eatingketchupchips
not aggressive, it just makes a lot of good points. and we wouldnt ask LGBT disband into "equalism" so why feminism?
TurningTurningIntheWideningGyro
Because why do you think a movement for gender equality started in the first place? Which group do you think was opressed?
DarthFutuza
I'm well aware of that, but since the term is degrading to mean something else - we might as well make the word we use a more accurate one.
eatingketchupchips
read this http://www.patheos.com/blogs/camelswithhammers/2014/07/why-do-we-need-feminism-shouldnt-we-just-be-humanists-and-equalists/
DarthFutuza
While I get that, the term 'feminism' is still associated with a bunch of baggage thanks to our tumblr friends and people make assumptions.
Mittsend
They're just teenagers that think that misogyny is feminism.

CANrugger
The problem is THEY call themselves that. The term is too broad. We should decide on a new term for those that actually want equality 1/?

CANrugger

What did 4chan call them? Land-whales, was it?
TurningTurningIntheWideningGyro
I'd rather people stopped using both misandry and misogyny. It's meaningless words people use to describe people they disagree with.

JazzFanny
But... I'm pretty sure I've been told by feminists that misandry can't exist and that men can never be victims of sexism?
TimothyTRiG
And, depending on your definition, that's true. **Systematic** discrimination against men does not exist.
hoffbox
They are incorrect, and guilty of what they are denying. Very simple.
JazzFanny
That's the crux! Anyone who says men can't be victims of sexism is a sexist. Makes them nice and easy to spot.
MadDucks
i have a picture from a "Feminist Handbook" on an old hard drive that states that "reverse sexism" is impossible.
hoffbox
Bad handbook.
actuallyMikeTyson
usually, I hate it when people say that. But here, it applies.
AncalagontheBlack
They aren't mutually exclusive, regardless of what the dictionary says.
crowey92
no true scotsman
erockinit
yeah, no. a scotsman has no other defining characteristics except for being scottish, which is why the fallacy exists, because people (1)
erockinit
not uphold these beliefs, you are no longer a feminist. no true scotsman does not apply. period. (3)
erockinit
make up characteristics for defining a scotsman that don't apply. in contrast, feminism is defined by a set of beliefs. if you do (2)

TL;DR, Tumblr hates good people doing nice things

But this is YIK YAK....
kyuuri117
Here's a better question, why the fuck would you NOT have your fucking home address listed under your information? Seriously. What idiots.
wherearetheavos
In my country it genuinely is a security risk. Not even supposed to have "home" programmed in your GPS in case of hijacking/car stolen.
darwynstheory
TL;DR Tumblr hated Yik Yak users doing nice things
WhimsicalCalamari
I mean, part of the hateful reaction was equivalent to our "Things that didn't happen" tag.
Spune
Except they automatically assume OP is a scumbag because he's male, we automatically assume OP is a bundle of sticks because he's OP.
WhimsicalCalamari
Except they show that they don't know op's gender. The first three posts with strikethrough don't assume gender; the third even uses "they".
Spune
I don't know, I think it's pretty clear OP is male, tumblr is just conditioned to assume that everyone is touchy about their gender identity
winsol
Someone brought up his tumblr page down below, he's transgendered.
KingMudkipIII
its says "She called me a precious young lady" near the end.
Zixtank
Of course. If there's only nice people, who're they going to complain about?
AgamemnonsMemes
Tumblr hates everyone, because if everyone aren't horrible monsters then they wouldn't know what to do with themselves.
cakeandjake
The post has some tumblr users that defend the person on yikyak.
AgamemnonsMemes
I was generalizing for dramatic punctuation, not all of tumblr is this bad, just the most vocal part.
cakeandjake
Ah, but it's a pity that there are actual users that do just generalize and believe it is the majority.
AgamemnonsMemes
Its just the .. lets say.. most volatile part of tumblr, so non-tumblr people see it more often and tumblr people hate it.
She1993
Tumblr is full of a lot of girls with a lot of trust issues, and they lash out in suspicion.
Beepity
TL;DR Tumblr hates.
Zemedelphos
Nah, there's just a lot of vocal people who don't understand what they're talking about. Like anti-vaxxers, and the WBC.
Hxnter13
TL;DR, Tumblr needs to get their shit together.
avatarFerret
Thank you
27yoUGLYvirgin
See my problem with this story is that usually good people don't go and brag aboutbdoing good stuff. So its obvious to assume its a fake.
Winterous
I believe yikyak is an anonymous thing, so it doesn't even qualify as bragging really.
Queeditch
Nothing is anonymous on the Internet...
bashmuttons
so what? we're all anonymous as well aren't we?
Winterous
Well not necessarily, because the nature of having a profile linked to an email does detract from anonymity.
TheBasementNerd
Hates good MEN doing nice things
PandaPunt
TL;DR, Tumblr doesn't want to accept men aren't all rapists so will twist shit to fit their mindset
4Sken
^ +1 Liked subscribed digg'ed shared on myspace
am0k
Yet it was ok to call the original who said she could sleep at his house a potential rapist...
PandaPunt
I don't really agree with calling him a rapist. But the choice to make sure she got home was better than leaving her with unknown strangers
am0k
Instead of leaving in a car with unknown strangers...I've had strangers pass out at my house in college all the time. Never had an issue.
PandaPunt
I'm speaking from the stand point of the person who drove her home. If I was there and he said that, I'd have had some issue with it.
melodramaticbat
Yeah absolutely! Well... except this was originally posted, positively, ON TUMBLR. FFS. Can we not generalise? Please? Just once?
legopieface
If they are the larger population we will generalize. Tumblr is full of shitty people where as Imgur if full of Humorous Engineers.
melodramaticbat
Well I feel like a lot of people's perception of tumblr is filtered through Imgur, so those generalisations are hardly objective...
legopieface
Just use their search engine. Type in Men are. Then type in Women are. See how great Dumblr really is.

You can have emergency phone numbers without having any address saved. If you can't tell people, they should be taking you to a hospital.

Whydopeoplekeepcallingmethat
Imgur, you KNOW if the story was originally posted here people would be calling "FAKE!", and giving a lot of the same reasons.

People do call 'fake' a lot on here & I'm sure many things posted ARE fake. But hey, sometimes when you go outside unusual things DO happen.

I'm fine with calling fake, just not fine with trying to find fault in good deeds. Hurr durr this man did good. he must be evil!

Of course, we have to be skeptical, people make up shit constantly. But doubt people would bash on the moral of the story: helping another.
GentlemanWendigo
Yeah but you guys call 'bullshit' on some of those most mundane & practical things that really could have actually happened.
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
Some people can be harsh over mundane stories. I just figure the community doesn't like being lied to about anything and tries to prevent it

There's a difference between calling it fake and saying that the person who posted it is a rapist.

this. a huge investigation goes into disproving a woman was beat (when she actually was) on here and it get to the FP. but a chivalrous (1)

Whether or not someone was beaten is something that DESERVES an investigation, the above not so much.

not tumblr who they are hating on, it's largely women. Unless it's clearly a guy writing like this post, so idk it makes me feel icky (2)

I agree I think it's dumb to do that especially when people critic it some of the time and villainize it other times. and in the end its (1)
LokiKingOfJotunheim
That problem arises because half the time they probably are BS. It's the whole crying wolf scenario.

"That didn't happen" is a far cry from "it happened and you were probably being creepy/trying to rape her".

Women are never to be believed, don't you know that? Bitches be lyin'. /s

don't know why u were dv with that /s there
TheThingNoNotThatOne
I'd call it fake simply because I don't believe the story. I wouldn't find fault in his/her actions if they were true.

yeah i get that, but just the difference in attitudes between that story and this are so clearly drawn in the sand.
buisnessenderman
Yeah, but this place is an anti-feminist circle jerk.

It's difficult to believe in altruism on the internet because it's so damn easy to lie. But I don't think many of us would call him a creep.

I am fine with that. As I am fine with tumblr reaction.

I'm okay with that reaction given proper context. They weren't, so they made up a context with no evidence. That's what bothers me.

Not to that degree, but only because of character limit.

Which was the right thing to ~not~ do there. She didn't know and it's not really important. I mean she look like a lady lol.

Maybe drinking is a family pass-time. Or he had long hair. The part where he/she says "bother to correct her" makes me think long hair guy

Apparently he was trans.

Being someone who appears much younger than I am, I assume she doesn't consider herself a 'young' lady.

Paragraph above that, right after the mother called him a precious young lady. "I didn't even bother correcting her"

Fair enough, thank you :)

Maybe it was about the 'precious' part we don't know. And it doesn't matter.

I read that as not correcting the 'precious' part. They also declined a reward, I think has something to do with the person not feeling

They were born female, and identify and present male. That's why the mom called them female.
SpoookyScarySkeletons
But what about the gay identification, does that mean he is into girls or boys? Because if he is a gay guy then this story is lame
TastyBrainMeats
Why does that make the story lame?
iDrinkDrano
YOU'RE LAME. (But their tumblr /does/ say Gay Trans-male, since you asked. http://equius.tumblr.com/ that avater tho, what's not to love?)
revcleo
If someone is ftm 99% of the time you can assume their pronoun is "he".
squad10cap
1) So, if an ftm identifies as he, and gay, is he interested in men or women? That' confusing me. I suspect OP is into women because of the
revcleo
A ftm individual is male. If a male is gay, then he is attracted to men. Therefore a gay ftm is attracted to men.
EnergyFiend
Just ignore the trans part. He's a boy. He's a gay boy. He likes other boys.
IWantMyOwnTARDIS
But on the site posted above, the about me says things like: I like boys, I like girls

2) remark the guy made, but if you Identify as a man but like women, then why say you're gay? I'm not trying to push buttons, just wondering

In general, use the pronoun associated with the gender a person associates themselves as. If you don't know, "they" is appropriate.

I usually have the opposite problem, where my (double d's!) will be sticking out and I'll still be called 'sir' or 'mr.'
Berethian
Perhaps a desperate ploy to make you think they weren't checking out the aforementioned DDs?
batmaneatsbabie
Perhaps, but seemingly doubtful because in the one case, he didn't even look at me -- apparently my shadow is manly??
Berethian
How very odd. Do you have a manly shadow? Were you wearing a codpiece?
batmaneatsbabie
A codpiece as well as a tie around my forehead because it was margaritaville time!
Zemedelphos
Because the person who posted it is female. That part she posted saying "implored male" was a typo of "implied male."
Thoraxe123
they never officially stated that they're a male, it was assumed the whole time
jrau18
OP does state it, indirectly, when he points out that he didn't correct the mother about him being a young lady.
DarthFutuza
Not necessarily, could be saying he/she didn't agree with the 'precious' adjective. Cuz English.
snakeservant
i believe OP didn't correct the mother because he frequently gets called a woman due to the fact they were born biologically a woman
FreshRadishes
You guys are missing the point, he means in the initial post it never says that it was a dude that drove a chick home. That being said 1/
FreshRadishes
I did assume it was a guy too.

I just assumed Tumblr OP was a woman all along. I thought that's what "implored male" (prob. meant to say "implied") was referring to...

Kind of like that music video by The Prodigy.

I thought OP meant 'deplored male'

He's male, OP meant "Deplored"

Except he says he didn't bother correcting the mom calling him a lady.

Or didn't correct the 'precious' part because they thought they were just soon the right thing.

Probably coz that wasn't the point of the situation? If I were called a nice young man when I'm trying to help I'm not going to correct them

That's the point. She was a woman and said the post implied she was a man.

but the party host implied that OP was going to take advantage of the drunken female, and the mother mistook OP for a 'precious young lady".

Uh, ever heard of lesbians?

I have been notified that the tumblrite is actually transgendered.

Maybe the host assumed OP was a sleazy lesbian?

Someone has said she is FTM which is a thought I had when she said she didn't correct the mom. Not verified yet.

If someone is FTM, all likelihood they go by he* pronouns. http://equius.tumblr.com his tumblr does verify it

Oops I forgot. Considering my ex partner of 6 years has now had a full sex change, I'm very much aware of this.
