is there actually people who believe that all men are rapists and attracted to little girls

45. (b) is the one I take issue with.

Is your claim here that we are not a patriarchal culture?

I start from we are in fact a patriarchal culture, this is a male dominated society. This is about as controversial to me as racism or homophobia. There is white privilege and there is male privilege and there is hetero privilege. This social system of ours is dominated by white men who claim to be heterosexual.

But my point is not "rape is acceptable behavior", my point is that rape is stunningly frequent and we should do something about that. One suggestion I have is that we should change the cultural norms for acceptable behavior with respect to women in public. Every time I try to get you all to understand why this would be a good idea, a lot of people here seem to think I am calling them rapists or equating overt sexual propositions with rape. Overt sexual propositions to complete strangers are RUDE, but they aren't rape. Is that clear? They are an invasive intrusion into somebody else's space, and are, in my opinion, appropriate only in circumstances where it is clearly understood that this is expected. The behavior is rude precisely because we have A HUGE PROBLEM WITH RAPE. I don't know how to get through to you all that the women receiving these uninvited advances CANNOT DETERMINE WHICH SORT OF MAN YOU ARE. In fact I give up.

Keep it up men, this is the world you have made, no problem, nothing wrong, no need to change.

Trumad may have had a point about this group.
