no one is saying all men are rapists. what they are saying is that the statistics are great enough that women have to be on edge around all men. I wish you would take the passion you have for arguing against a generalization and devote it towards making sure the men around you aren't part of the issue. I say that as a trans women who has seen the issue from both sides. I understand where you're coming from, truly, but having been socialized male I saw that every man has chances to change the people around them and 99.9% fail to do so.
You know that's not true.
Proceeds to say ALMOST all men to the level that ALL women are afraid of them.
you wouldn't argue if I said all bears are dangerous, even if some will walk right up to you and let you feed them from your hand. again, you should take your anger at this turn of phrase and devote it to something that actually helps your cause.
and for the love of god, it might be time to analyze where you're getting the news from. if you actually believe the fox news ass all men are rapists line then I dont know what to tell you, your critical thinking might just be fried.
I heard that first-hand from women on this site.
Yeah no shit, that's the point.
Well, what do you want done?
