Except that in reality, the situation usually follows the path that I’ve described. Maybe you need to go out more and interact with people outside of Jezebel and the like?

Not when that conversation happens on the Internet, no. We’re not in a “room”. Blogs, sites, etc, tend to attract people with similar thinking and ideologies. The people who frequent them tend to be biased.

Agreed. There’s something quite sad about that video.

Ah yes, women who don’t want to be sexually harassed/assaulted by men are “idiots” and “delusional”.

I’m talking about the men who believe that they can’t help themselves.

But how do we deal with this bullshit and keep girls safe?

Like, do you think they are all “OOOOoooo, I would totally go rape that woman but she just went into the women’s restroom and THAT is a line I’m not willing to cross.”? Really?

But many men do claim that they can’t help themselves.

lmao

Yes :)

Do you always infantilize and patronize women or...?

Sure. But is it?

I’m not a defeatist. I believe that sexual harassment and other sexual crimes can be better dealt with by enforcing harsher punishment. All that talk about “teaching” and “educating” is pointless, it’s just that, talk.

Might I refer you to Hollaback, FreetheNipple, the Slut Walks, Planned Parenthood and others fighting the good pro-choice fight, just off the top of my head?

Ah yes, the good old “I’m going to accuse you of trolling because I have nothing else to say”excuse.

Climate change is gradual. It’s effects are not immediately noticeable so people don’t see it as urgent or terrifying. Humans, historically speaking, aren’t particularity known for thinking about long-term problems.

How can you tell if someone is a transgender woman or a regular male?

But women raping girls is much less common than men raping girls. If men are allowed access to women’s bathrooms than the incidents of bathroom sexual assault would increase. Is that really a chance you’re willing to take?

How are they ignorant?

What confuses me is that you seem to be confused about why parents might be more skeptical of men sharing a restroom with their daughters than they are of women.
