I was not downplaying sexual assault…but they are not the same. Even the “study” itself considered kissing without asking(which most women consider spontaneous romance) to be “Shoplifters Of The World, Unite Shirt“. You cannot claim everyone who was sexually assaulted was a rape victim…they are not on the same field. Ok boys so do whatever you want to a woman (or man) just don’t stick your dick in her because that’s actually rape. Everything else is fair game and totally not a big deal. Lighten up chicks. I have a son.

No one raises their child to be a rapist. How do you raise a nonrapist? What does that entitle? I am already teaching him about boundaries with his body and others which we should teach all children. It’s like how do you raise a child that won’t be a killer, drug addict etc etc. Sorry I’m just very protective over my son and can now see their is allot of stereotypes and sexism towards males. he men here are not saying they agree with rape. They are simply saying you can’t just raise a child to not be that does not 100% guarantee anything.
The point is rape is NOT ok (that’s pretty obvious) but if raising a young man not to be a rapist was that simple there would probably be a LOT less rapist in the world. I am a rape survivor and it was very upsetting to read alot of these comments. Why can’t men just listen and be supportive? Whats the harm in teaching young people about consent? Rape ruins lives, anything we can do to prevent it is a step forward and teaching girls self defense is not enough. I fought as hard as I could. Guess what? I wasn’t strong enough.

I agree Erica LaVoie. It’s sickening how many men are on here like “but but but women can rape too! Uhhhhh…” nothing at all intelligent to say, just trying to be controversial. It’s so incredibly sad that these men can’t just be supportive and say “hey! You know what? Rape IS bad and I would try to teach my son to respect women and my daughter to demand respect!” Erica, I’m sorry to hear of this and thank you for sharing. The whataboutery and discounting of the article in the comments is horrifying.
Erica LaVoie, I’m so sorry this happened to you. I don’t know how long ago this was, nor should you feel obligated to discuss that in such a public forum. But from one survivor to another, it does get better. Your life doesn’t have to be ruined. Someone did a terrible thing to you, and you bear no responsibility for that. But in my experience, speaking out whenever discussions like this arise takes a little bit more power away from the perpetrators each time. I wish you all the best. Why be a victim when you can be a survivor? Many people get raped and are still victims for the rest of their lives, whether they become depressed and/or self-destructive, become abusive or commit suicide, etc.
People who can overcome their fears, to be able to trust not only in themselves but in other people; to be happy and live their lives takes great courage and strength. Erica, I am truly sorry for what you went Shoplifters Of The World, Unite Shirt , you are a survivor. Just listen… SO we can’t express our opinions? when woman are more violent than men, sorry we have the right to express our concerns too. It isn’t just women that get attacked by their partners. These idiotic guys on here actually disagreeing, I’m pretty sure they haven’t ‘gotten any’ in quite awhile. Hmmm…wonder why? Other debates aside… not carrying an “equalizer” aka “weapon” because it can be “turned against you ” is flat out an idiotic thought process.
