Crazy people: watcha gonna do about 'em? They're just trying to get a rise out of you, I suggest you don't let 'em.

Could always turn out to be a hoax like that South African "strip white people of the vote" nonsense we saw several months ago.

Just remember, all intercourse is rape. Saying hello is an unwanted advance. Dont ever verbally assault a woman by giving her a compliment. You are cisgender males, I dont expect you to understand because of your phalogocentric hate. Im wearing a pink vagina hat to raise awarness as I type this.
exterminate all rational thought.....

OMG! Are you the love child of Andrea Dworkin?

I hope you were sarcastic in your post. If not, I'm backing away slowly.
I feel more like I do now than I did a while ago.

The crazy slattern does have a point, all men are potential rapists, and potential royal assassins, potential cheaters on the TV license fees, potential dog kickers and cat tail pullers and cutters in line.

As for "cisgender" that's the PC way of saying "normal."

And potential nice guys, and potential presidents, and potential entertainers, and potential animal shelter volunteers, and they're potentially the guy who says "you only have one thing to buy; you first."  :smile:

Focus on the good; it'll make for a happier day.

(Yes, I know ER was being sarcastic; this just seemed like a good thing to say.)

Here's her actual article. She never calls her sons rapists, rather she laments that they were offended by another article she wrote. Here it is:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2016/09/14/its-not-enough-to-teach-our-teen-sons-about-consent/?utm_term=.a41dba47c3fa

To me it sounds like she had bad experiences with men, which left her scarred. Problem is she doesn't realize it, and blames society:

QuoteI'm a survivor of rape and sexual abuse. My sons know this like they know I was once a reporter and I love curries and coffee. But they have never been sexually abused, and they can't fathom what it's like to stand in a scalding hot shower trying to burn away the touch of a stranger's hands. I've told them why dismantling rape culture is so important to me, but they will never truly understand how survivors feel.

QuoteI love my sons, and I love some individual men. It pains me to say that I don't feel emotionally safe with them, and perhaps never have with a man, but it needs to be said because far too often we are afraid to say it. This is not a reflection of something broken or damaged in me; it is a reflection of the systems we build and our boys absorb. Those little boys grow into men who know the value of women, the value that's been ascribed to us by a broken system, and it seeps out from them in a million tiny, toxic ways.

I don't think I can rightly say more. This is a difficult situation; one I have no experience with. I'm more of a "Thou shalt not till tho art bound in Holy Matrimony" type person. My heart goes out to the writer and her sons, and I pray for healing; that's all I can say.

What are you doing reading the original source? Don't you understand how an outrage pile-on works?  :bouncegiggle:

I was told by a 'feminist' 'friend' of one of my sons that ALL men ARE rapists.  She had sold my son on the concept, as well.  When I opposed her argument, I ended up offending my son with something I said.  I said I had not drunk that Koolaid and he felt that meant I was questioning his judgement.  Which in effect I was.  He has not spoken to me for two years.    :bluesad:  The saddest part? He ended up severing all connections with the female in question, some time back. 

And people are surprised that I have little tolerance for neo-feminists.  Grrr!
