(1,173 posts)is that not all men need lessons on why rape is wrong and how to not support a rapist, as was the gist of the article posted in the OP which basically sought to "teach" men how to do those things. Some of us have unfortunately had sisters who've been through rape, and we've bothered to learn about it through their eyes and through the eyes of other people with that horrible experience. Saying that men need to be taught not to support rape is offensive and ignorant, as most of us already don't support it and never would. That you insist on feigning obtuseness to this very obvious point shows not your debate acumen but instead your obstinance, like that a child might display when confronted.
I never said anything about how men shouldn't learn what rape is, how it affects its victims, and what the societal damages are. What I said is that men don't need lessons about why rape is wrong and shouldn't be coddled. Most of them already know. And the ones who don't are the ones for whom a lesson isn't going to make a damn bit of difference because they're the sick ones who do it.
By the way, while you're accusing me of being "misogynist," you might wanna take a look at your "male logic" comment for an example of how I spotted you as the hypocrite you are. You think it's okay to say "male logic" as if that means somehow inferior to, distinct from, or hostile towards that of "female logic"? There are genders for logic now? When'd that happen?
Speaking of BS artist, ma'am ... well, I'll just leave it at that. You've outed yourself more than enough.
