World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

What's the point of hating an entire group of people because some of them are assholes?
Just say that sexual offenders are pigs, no need for sexism.
Almost all sex offenders are men
Sadly, but which of course doesn't imply the reverse.
Yeah, people need to learn Bayes' theorem.
Even better, prove it themselves.
Getting SAed by a woman doesn’t feel any better.
I never said it did, you’re just making shit up
You sound exactly the same as the people who tell sexually assaulted women that they're "making shit up"
Holy strawman fallacy
You made a claim that hyperrin is making shit up without any solid proof
I also don't see what your goal is with all these sexist claims. Should we arrest all men? Discriminate against them? I just want to live in a society where everyone is treated equally, regardless of gender.
Technically true, but sexual assault on men is even more underreported than sexual assault on women. We can't let other men know we're weak. Same goes for non-sexual assault. Two exes have been regularly violent to me and I just kept going because I'm not admitting in public that a woman is beating me. I just took it "like a man", knowing full well I could knock them the fuck out, but choosing not to hit back.
So we really don't know how much sexual violence is perpertrated against men by women. After all, men always want it, so we can not be raped by women. Unless it's a particularly fugly woman maybe?
My point is, toxic masculinity and all that. We don't know how much is being hidden.
I know exactly what you mean. When I (cis man) was freshly 18 in the 00’s I was indecently assaulted by an older woman in a bar when I walked past her and her group of friends and I never reported it. I have friends who experienced similar who never reported it either. When I told my friends that night what had just happened I was told I was lucky to be non-consensually grabbed by a woman. I tried to tell myself that was the case for a long time; it took many years before I came to realise that I was assaulted and, by that point, there was nothing I could do about it.

all sexual offenders can go fuck themselves, regardless of gender.
REPORTED sex offenders.
Male reporting of sexual assault by women are hardly ever reported due to the stigma attached.
All murderers are human. You don't say fuck humans, you say fuck murderers
You see it in fiction all the time:
Those are just analogies of the group based generalisations we tend to make IRL.
So all men are sex offenders?
93.6% of sexual abuse offenders were men. This is an overwhelming statistic. Not all men are sex offenders but almost every sex offender is a man
~~Not who you responded to, but evidently someone needs to point out that you didnt read their question, or you maliciously misinterpreted it.~~
Edit: nope they did actually answer the question, im just shockingly bad at reading which is very unusual for me.
...so you're just ignoring their question to substitute your own. Very nice strawman, but it does appear pretty malicious at this point.
Nah m8, you right. Somehow repeatedly missed your last statement. Sorry for the snarkiness.
I saw the "almost every sex offender is a man" part, but i missed you actually answering the question somehow. Genuinely sorry
Edit:seriously thats wild, im guessing i got hit with a serious case of assuming
Bullshit. It's just looked at differently. A student gets sexually assaulted by a female teacher and everyone is like nice. Flip the genders and everyone is like that's sick. Why? Both are as bad as each other.
Statistically speaking if you are sexually assaulted there’s between a 94 and 99 percent chance it was a man assaulting you.
Seems you came here to flaunt your closed mind. Why?
Closed to what?
This gives off «Despite Being Only 13 Percent of the Population» vibes
Believe it or not men are not an oppressed minority. Sex offenders also cross all races and religions. It’s something all of you can relate to equally
