Comment on Bari Weiss: Why Are Feminists Silent on Rape and Murder?
glimse@lemmy.world 5 months agoWhoa whoa first off I DO think your comment added to the discussion! I was saying I wouldn’t downvoted you and hoped others agreed
I agree that there are progressives with twisted opinions about the conflict. If that’s what she was saying, maybe she shouldn’t paint with such a broad stroke. A non-inflammatory title would have been “Why are some feminists silent about rape and murder in the middle easy?” But that wouldn’t get the clicks. It significantly diminishes her whole point in my opinion
So what about a title like “Why are men buying motorcycles?”
It doesn’t mean that all men are buying motorcycles, just that enough are to make it a noticeable trend.
You don’t need the word “some”. That’s the defaul. “All” is the special case that needs to be explicitly indicated.
I’d dislike that headline, too, but it’s not as awful as this one because it’s not painting men in a bad light

Oh I’m so sorry! I misread your comment! I’m going to edit mine so it doesn’t confuse others
Yeah I agree about the title, but that’s just the internet now :(
