(18,186 posts)One thing I know about some people ( often men ) is that they want to "fix" things and they feel frustrated when they can't make things right.
For example, there are some people who, when you tell them about a problem, can't just listen, but feel they have to make it right. They get almost angry when they can't do so.
Are men feeling some guilt over these figures because they feel helpless to stop them? Are they feeling guilt because the problem is far more pervasive than they ever imagined?
I'm just trying to understand why you would claim that statistics turn men into rapists. The statistics pretty well have shown only a small percentage of men commit all these rapes. So don't get pissed at the statistics - that's what Republicans do when faced with global warming, etc. They try to demonize Al Gore and plenty of climate scientists by saying the statistics make it look worse than it is. That's a game for cowards and phonies, not Democrats.
Be pissed at those evil men. Don't be pissed at women. Be pissed at those evil men. Don't be pissed at a discussion of rape. Be pissed at those men.
None of what I posted above says "all men are rapists." How you extrapolate that from these studies, I would love for you to explain....
if you think you can.
