20. You ought to read some of the porn threads

and see who is around you on this site. It's eye opening. Then watch some of them go over to the thread about 40 years of rape by college football players, all swept under the rug. Their response is then to talk about an unrelated case where one man was falsely accused. That is used to justify police, prosecutors, and university officials covering up violent crime for half a century. Note some of these people become incensed at rape prevention PSAs, refer to them as misandry (by even inferring that men might have anything to do with rape). Rape prevention campaigns, one insists, amount to "haranguing" men because rape has declined along with every other violent crime (due of course to demographic changes). Of course no one dare insinuate that amounts to rape apology. That's an outrage, while what they do is perfectly acceptable.
