Nope, rape discussion isn't "against men". Threads against men are against men. And there are plenty of them--so much so--that when a normal feminist issue gets posted without any of the normal generalization and accusations, we already know the context its being in.
None of these posts exist in a vacuum. Clean, honest discussion about feminist issues in GD are exceptions (that are used as examples to show how everyone is reacting oh so horrendously), not rules. The distance between how we see what is happening couldn't be further
BTW, the oh so innocent thread that this meta posts is referring to wasn't innocent. Remember context?

It was posted with the intent of stirring a stirred up pot. It wasn't posted to educate. It was posted to be decisive. The OP called it a "fly trap".
So yes, lets forget the venom. Lets forget the fly trap. Lets forget every nasty thing the HoFers have done, and then we can really pigeonhole men who are complaining *for nothing* because we just won't recognize anything that disturbs our theory. But we both know thats is what is really absurd.
Fly trap. And this thread is meta on a fly trap being pissed on.
