(8,040 posts)The overwhelming majority of rapists are men. We men have a responsibility to stop other men from hurting women....a responsibility that we shed or ignore if we constantly try to turn attention from the REAL issues to some dumbass whine about how not all of us are rapists.
I know I'm not a rapist. I will try to never, ever even put a women in a situation where she has to be scared of my intentions (hell, if a women is walking in front of me and looks even the least bit nervous, I will cross the street or put more distance between us). I have never had to pressure a women to have sex with me.
And I don't care if you don't believe me or distrust me because IT's NOT IMPORTANT. I'd rather you don't trust me, and keep yourself safe then take needless chances. I'm sorry that we have to live in a world where you have to be so careful around me, because in reality no women is safer on the street than one who has me walking behind her. But that's the price I'm willing to pay. And I hate that women have to live with this reality.
