Imagine thinking the worst thing about rape is not the crime or the harm to victims

18. Supposedly distorting words

I find it fascinating that some are so concerned that I have come to conclusions not explicitly articulated by those who oppose this PSA, yet have absolutely no problem supporting a collective whine that completely distorts what this PSA says. Apparently the obligation to quote only what someone says and offer no interpretation applies only to this group and not others.

When people continually focus on how men are so aggrieved by anti-rape efforts and complain about the poor men falsely accused, the collective result reveals what their views are. If they thought rape victims were important, they would write about that. They do not. They focus entirely on their own persecution complex. Some even claim that mentioning the word "men" in the PSA is itself discriminatory. We're supposed to pretend 99% of rapists aren't male. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_by_gender Their idea of civil rights involves ignoring and deliberately distorting reality. Such an attitude is central to maintaining rape culture. Denying that rape is a problem and pretending it is gender neutral is a willful distortion that contributes to an environment in which rape victims are mocked and rapists absolved of responsibility--rape culture.
