I know I've only been here since November but I've never seen anyone say "all men are rapists"

71. Because we expect more - and believe men are capable of more.

There are a lot of things all humans have the potential to be, and the negative ones usually comes from desperation and opportunity. All humans are potential murderers, if they get desperate enough. All humans are potential thiefs. These crimes are committed by both men and women, and even though the majority of murderers are men, enough of them are women that we can't dismiss the possibility. However, society frowns upon thieves and murderers, and punish them, and we have as our norms and values that you shouldn't steal or kill.

When it comes to rape, that is a crime that is treated differently in society. While many decry violent rape, enough judges and politicians and football coaches and journalists etc blame the victim, and for example, enough studies show that a large number of men would grab the chance to rape an unconcious woman if they knew they could get away with it scot free, that we women know that in this crime, we do not have society and culture on our side. 99% of all rapists are men. This is a man's problem. We women believe and expect men to be capable of more, to be capable of not only not raping, but of changing culture and norms to make it unnacceptable to rape. We believe men are better than they apparently think themselves, because apparently they believe only women are saintly enough to change rape culture. We don't believe that.

And if you don't see how misogynistic it is to put the onus of changing men on women, then I recommend you think again.
