(29,047 posts)72. "You made it a personal attack on his opinions that he is some woman-hating asshole"
I teased him for being insulted by the video, but I did not claim he hated women or that he was an asshole, and I don't think either of those things about him. The "attacks" made in the video and the those specific "attacks" from my posts are completely imaginary, and have no more validity than homeopathic medicine. People are seeing specters, but specters don't exist.
I will add, not only is male rape rarely discussed, it is often ridiculed (even for male children ("Oh, how lucky to have that hot teacher bone him!" ).
I completely agree.
It's even worse, IMO, for gay men (we were asking for it, and yes that has been said to me).
I didn't know about this, and I find it offensive and disturbing. You did not deserve to be raped.
Finding a PSA lacking doesn't indicate one thinks female survivors are less than or that male rape is more deserving of attention.
This is not a claim that I have made, and this doesn't represent my views.

Seems almost as insulting as "please be careful of others" sign at the local swimming pool.

Anti-rape ads that portray women as "asking for it" are mocked by feminists quite often

If you're looking for homophobia, you will be hard pressed to find it from me.

Did you come here to address the OP comments or just to denigrate the poster?

If you are going to call another argument dumb, you may want to do a better job of forming yours

I think it should make both men and women nod. I was nodding when I heard it.

I saw a statistic that 1 in 5 women in this nation are raped. I think we can get over this video.
