Meet the Predators (men need to learn how to recognize and fight rape culture)

45. No, you're engaging in stereotyping by supporting someone who said "men need education"

Men is a word used to denote a group, the entire group as it were. And since I'm a part of said group I don't appreciate being lumped in with the very small minority of that group which engage in such horrific things. Would you like it? I doubt that very much.

But evidently it's okay because you're not a man, so we should just shut up and allow women to tell us that we as a group need education, that we're too stupid to know that rape is wrong, and that our behaviors - again, she said "men," not some men - are supportive of rape. Sorry, friend, but I won't shut up about being stereotyped - as no one should.

My lack of experience with rape is the entire point, ma'am. The author said "men" need education, and since that word specifically means all who share its traits, my lack of experience with said traits inherently means the point is bullshit. That you're ignoring that salient fact says a ton, as do your attempts to sweep under the rug the fact that you're endorsing stereotypes by not disavowing their usage in all cases. It's a telling sum. I'm sure you don't think so, but I assure you it's conspicuous.
