28. Reality?? Do men worry about physical abuse/murder if they leave their partners?
Tue Apr 27, 2021, 09:30 AM
Apr 2021

Do they worry about being stalked, raped, abused by their loved ones and strangers? Do they worry about a court and police system that favors males? Do men worry about public exposure to ridicule and abuse when they come forward to seek justice? How many male rape videos do we see online? How many football players are female who still get to play after credible accusations of rape? Do you worry about keeping your doors and windows locked to prevent rape and murder? This cuts across all race lines too. Where is your "equality"??? Do we have to teach men/boys how to avoid being raped? Minimum 30 percent of all women report some form of sexual assault. And those numbers are under-reported. Child abuse victims are predominantly female. There is something very sick and deadly in our world, and denial won't solve the problems.

Women are crying for help. Google may be listening, but is it helping? None of the aforementioned riversedge Apr 2021 #1
