I'm not out to debate the statistics of "REAL problem" with you. I'm pointing out that it's counterproductive (and I believe morally wrong) to tell survivors they're unworthy because their abuser was a woman. I get the feeling some people care more about gendering this issue than they do about about victims of abuse.

most of the men I know tend to think abusive men are always other men

I'm sure most if not all abusers are in denial and don't consider themselves abusers, but this slogan gives a pass to ones who happen to be women by insisting that they don't exist at all.

actually decent men are aware that they are complicit by their very existence as men under the patriarchy, and invest their energy in being better and calling out their fellow men to try and improve your collective reputation

This is bald-faced, shameless bigotry and reflects a real lack of self awareness

Seemed pretty clear to me that @ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works is calling me a rapist for daring to criticize the claim that rapists are always men

I'll take the bait too because I've personally known a female abuser (never did anything to me but raped a 14 year old as a teacher) and it makes me furious that a so-called activist would not only disregard crime that doesn't fit their narrative, but try to gaslight the rest of the world into doing it too.

not all men but always a man

Pointless sexist bullshit and wrong on its face. I never understood the drive some people have to paint abusive behavior as exclusive to men.

Ah ok, I'm totally ignorant and haven't seen that

Ruby Ridge was a real life event where the ATF set up and pretextually attacked a family in Idaho

Electromagnetic proof of concept

This incident will be reported!

One thing to consider is that a newly imported old car to Africa is probably replacing an even older car with worse efficiency and emissions. Given how spotty electrical service is in those places and that almost half of the continent doesn't even have electric service to the home, EVs are probably not any kind of solution yet for most.
