[QUOTE="Spooky Owl!, post: 88059, member: 57984"] I was listening to an NPR show today where the feminist interviewees were saying that it's "men's job" to stop the male rapists. And then went on to say that women who are sexually harassed supposedly have no resources, no place to go with their stories, and "we need to have a conversation about that" as they always do. Well, women (and men) who have been sexually harassed [I]legitimately [B]may [/B][/I]have a hard time, but people who lie about it -- and many, [B][I]many [/I][/B]do -- know [B][I]exactly [/I][/B]what to do and [B][I]exactly [/I][/B]where to go. And they are [B][I]very [/I][/B]much listened to -- and they know they will be. That's ridiculous. Your numbers are a lie -- a goddess damned lie. A major problem in the culture now is that we deny the evil of women, that it even exists unless it can be blamed on psychic scarring resulting from patriarchal abuses. No one denies the evil of men, of course, and no one thinks to blame it on anything but himself and his gender. And the attempt to minimize sexual abuse and harassment of men (and not infrequently by women, though one assumes it's mostly men) is just one example of that evil. And stats that you rarely hear in the media are that mothers are much more violent towards (and even kill) their toddler children -- especially their toddler sons, interestingly -- than fathers ... and that's even taking into account that fathers are not in the household anywhere near as much as mothers. If you're a woman and you've been raped or sexually harassed, but you deny or trivialize the same thing being done to men [B][I]and/or [/I][/B]you attempt to project blame onto [B][I]all [/I][/B]men, then you're actually minimizing your [B][I]own [/I][/B]mistreatment. You're minimizing your own mistreatment. Maybe it didn't change for the same reasons you deny or minimalize what happens to boys. [/QUOTE]
