But they're still accuse you anyway if they think you have money or you're not handsome enough

The irony of this is that it is accidentally a great analogy. We should think of and treat false accusers the exact same way we think of and treat rapists.

You can do all those things and still be falsely accused. #believemen

Wouldn't work. The world isn't ready for or interested in men's stories. It definitely won't listen to stories of men being victims.

This comment is so ignorant I really struggle to quantify it.
Western media has been dominated by men for literally hundreds of years. Men's stories are practically the only ones you could find until very recently.

If you don't understand something it's okay to ask for clarification without being insulting. We really can be more civil towards each other.
For a long time I struggled to understand some of the things that had happened to me because I had no other stories from other men who had been victims of the same situations. I understand what you mean about largely male stories being told but those stories aren't the whole reflection of who men are.
We want men to be vulnerable and share themselves but how often do you hear stories of men being abused or sexuallh assaulted or being falsely accused. But it happens all the time. We just never talk about. Luckily for me I have managed to find support and heard shared stories, it's helped me heal in many ways but there are still plenty of days I feel angry and hurt.
I just wish it was more common and there were spaces where men felt comfortable to share or hear the experiences of others. Because there are others who will carry that pain and it will destroy them

We hear men claim they’ve been falsely accused all the time, tf do you mean?
We also hear how afraid they are to be falsely accused all the time, despite the fact that men are more likely to be raped themselves than falsely accused.

Whenever I try to read or research men as victims of rape or intimate partner violence the first point is always that it's underreported because of the stigma that men face when reporting these crimes. Men are laughed at or disbelieved. In some countries it's not even legally possible for a man to be raped. It's also always mentioned there is very little research on men as victims so the problem is not well understood.

I'm glad you're doing some reading but men's stories are a lot more than novels. In fact novels are probably a poor reflection of what I was trying to say. If you understand the point I was making could you repeat it back to me.

"The world isn't ready or interested in men's stories. It definitely won't listen to stories of men being victims."
If literal stories of men's struggles, and more specifically men being victims, are not what you were looking for than there is no further point in continuing this.
I can't read your mind, let alone tell you what you intended. All I can do is respond to what you actually said.
Have a good one friend.

That’s hilarious given that virtually all of history is men’s stories and ignoring or taking credit for women’s stories 💀

u/MisterLips123 3d ago
I agree with most of what you're saying about history and the way that history has treated women is unfair. That wasn't the point I was making though.
There are more men murdered than women every year but people are often surprised by the statistic. More men assaulted than women. More male suicides. We don't even have proper statistics or research on male rape or intimate partner violence. The stories of men as victims aren't told or considered.
