Rape more Common than Smoking in the US

[Tsiyu]

300. Rugged Individualism

As if the individual is left to his or her own devices to deal with the crime.

In the case of some men who refuse to help with the issue, who instead become outraged at the mere mention of it, I honestly believe they must be rapists or must have enabled some. Now I am certainly not saying this about a single DUer - I want to make that clear - rather about men in our society who balk at having anything to do with toughening sentencing or other penalties.

For example, legislators, law enforcement and judges who are male might fight against any reform because they, themselves are guilty of rape.

On DU, I've come to the conclusion that the most vocal misogynists here are very bitter because they had a bad relationship they can't get over. They are truly men in pain, men who need counseling and help working through their bitterness.

Rather than recognizing that their inner rage against women is holding them - and us - back, they just keep attacking women to make up for the wounds some woman or women inflicted on them.

I can't think of any other reason why these few posters are so full of hostility toward benign discussion that aren't about them personally.
