Men's violence against women - The never ending pandemic | Olga Persson | TEDxSSE

[@MrJimbissle]

I have known too many women who were severely abused/dehumanized/traumatized by men. Permanently living with wounds that dont show, unless you know how to see them. Then you see them everywhere. Sometimes inflicted for fun, even sport. I cannot understand how why people do this to each other. Except that damaged people Damage people. I wish I knew how to end it, but all I know is to not do it myself. And to be there when I can help prevent it or help her escape. It hurts to be so powerless to stop abuse.

Wait . . . .you know a woman who hasn't been S.A.ed?!! When did you visit the south pole? Was it a gated community of one, surrounded by razor wire etc? Lol, jk. I know I'm 2 years late, but it's heartening to find a man who cares enough to actually comment on this topic. I appreciate that more than I could ever express. 🙏🩵

[@laurettaleone6482]

SHERO! Thanks for speaking up in such an informed, educated and brave way for womyn. !

Violence is genderless

[@why4299]

True. But. Look at the differences. I don't discount violence against men by women. But. Men kill women at a far greater rate

[@michelemarie2568]

Not true … the stats show that males are responsible for 97% of all violent acts against men, women and children. It’s biologically driven in large part … as with other apes. Therefore intelligent men would choose to support a cessation of violence to all persons via scientific research conducted and funded by international studies focusing on hormones and neurophysiology and conducted by male and female senior scientists both apart and in conjunction.

[@S2023.]

This is like saying all lives matter

[@bloodbuddy7]

False, men commit and overwhelming majority of violent crime. Facts don’t care about your feelings.

[@UnbannedAgain]

​@S2023. Nah you're not lessening violence on women without lessening violence in general.

[@nw658]

Thank you Olga for all the work you do to educate about men's vawg.

[@Unknown-gn7uf]

All genders face this regardless gender

[@UMADtouchgrass]

you meant both genders

[@Unknown-gn7uf]

@@UMADtouchgrass yes

[@UMADtouchgrass]

[@JusticeWarriorTV]

Who’s the one causing it between both genders? Men. The common denominator.

[@pwnwin]

@@JusticeWarriorTV You speak as if women never hurt men. As if violence is some form of intrinsic thing that only men are capable of. Is this coming from naiivity, indoctrination or just misandry?

[@MrDeano-eu9rg]

You will never end it...thats like saying "end gangs, drug addicts, scumbag lying politicians" ect. Wont end ever.

[@pwnwin]

The world depends on the female body, but the same thing isn't for men...? Does that mean women are more important in some way? Would you say that without a good father, a son can grow up perfectly fine? You said you like men who is able to make a stand when they have to, well, I am making my stand. I, a man, am against this rhetoric, this campaign against men. Because there are bad men and bad women, but only bad men are talked about disproportionately as representation of ALL men. I, a man, will not stand for this prejudice forced upon me, conscious or otherwise. I, a man, am susceptible to being a victim of violence and abuse. I, a man, am against violence and abuse. I, a man, respect every person as a person, not as a man or a woman. I, a man, stand with all victims of abuse no matter their gender. So if you tell me to choose a side, my side is always with the victim. Not the side of men, not the side of women, and I frankly do not believe there should be a distinction. Victims are victims. Abusers are abusers. You listened to women who have been abused for 20 years, of course you would hear women being abused. But it's time you start to listen to men as well. At least the plenty of men who are not the monster you think they are.

[@agis-maintenant]

Thank you for these words of wisdom. There should be no reasons to considerate one gender, better than the other. That's clearly a toxic thinking habit. Can we at least one day, speak about the psychological violence and abuses that many mens are victims of, each single day, from their brides or other women close to them (mothers, sisters, relatives, etc) ? We still have a long way to go, if gender's shaming becomes the new standard, in men and women interactions.

[@SparkyWrench]

Well said man!

[@entingmat1088]

Amen. Men aren't the problem. People like Olga Persson are.

[@JusticeWarriorTV]

Men are the biggest contributors to v!0lence in general. You figure out who the problem is.

[@pwnwin]

​@@JusticeWarriorTV I can't figure it out. Honestly. That is not nearly enough to figure out anything. You tell me straight what do you think the problem is. Men? is that it? Is that the problem? So if men would cease to exist, everyone would theoretically be happier and less prone to violence? Is it really that simple to you?

[@michelemarie2568]

Sad this important talk which applies to most extended families is so little attended.

[@jakewaters_music]

Fatherlessness is a huge part of the problem, ironically

[@angr3819]

Most of the thumbnails to the videos on the channel 'illusive' show that the supposed subject matter is a thin disguise to attempt to justify very violent misogyny towards women. It is repugnant, sexist, violent in intent and clearly meant to encourage violence against women. Isn't there a criminal law in the USA against that behaviour? The whole channel and channel owner should be banned. Not merely receive a strike or temporary ban but permanent ban as the intended violence is gratuitous to misogynists and seeks to engender such behaviour. Why has yt allowed it?

[@PinkCakesandTea]

You can't have ef fed up, legal p or n and expect m's to be kind-hearted, upstanding citizens, especially to fm's.

[@naikjoy]

Oh so you are not supposed to beat women or people in general :O omg I didnt know that

[@ouhyjevha]

I think this problem is kind of weird to put in this narrow box of about violence against women specifically. Its much more broad problem. Teachers need to raise better men. Parents need to raise better men.The problem is that many men are prone to aggression and rage. And it is very sad, truly. School shootings, serial killers, wars etc almost all extreme violence in this world is caused by men, to women AND also to men. Also men dominate on the suicide rates. Men are lost. We need to do something about it as a society, men and women together. Schools need to teach boys better, and also at home. It starts at home. Men need better role models and better guidance. Especially on the subject of mental and emotional health.

[@PutSomeDsonThatBlink]

Very well balanced comment, completely agree! It's not the fact they are men but about the upbringing of men.

[@Unknown-gn7uf]

@@PutSomeDsonThatBlink all genders need do it

[@haleygrace7498]

Yes it’s called patriarchy
