In reply to the discussion: India’s Toilet Race Failing as Villages Don’t Use Them, dont want to be "locked in with own filth" [View all]"look at the US military and problems with sexual assault there, the colleges also. should American men be banned from all colleges and the military ?" Yep.
Perhaps men would get their shit together if you refused to let them rape women...or at least, caused the men to make sure that a woman didn't have to be scared to death 1/2 of their life.
It would be the-shit-hit-the-fan for a time but ANY sign of another man hurting women would result in the man being...ah..."Taught"
that it won't be tolerated.
We men are to blame for the abusive conditions that you speak of. It's up to us to stop it.
Nigerians...not sure...never been there.
