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

[Tsiyu]

113. I have defended men many, many times on DU

Had this been an actual case of negative stereotyping, I would have defended your comments as well.

But there is reality and there is fantasy.

You are trying to paint a picture of yourself as someone who has lived the life of a monk, and there is not one person on DU who will believe that you were in the Marines and in a frat and you never heard another male denigrate a women.

You are also trying to paint a picture of yourself as a man who already knows all there is to know about rape and you are claiming there is absolutely nothing else for you to learn.

Nobody with a real sense of self believes that about themselves. Well-adjusted adults realize they can always learn more no matter what the subject.

That's what the OP is about.

Rape is a terrible crime, and ALL of us - male and female - should jump at the opportunity to do what we can to stop it.

If you'd rather manufacture offense than discuss ways that men can talk to each other, mentor younger men and confront men who speak in a degrading manner toward women, you show JUST who you are.

You have made your posts in this thread COMPLETELY about yourself rather than the topic at hand. I really feel sorry for you.
