Then you can try to explain how anyone else in this conversation could possibly have the feeling of being corrected by every single person in the room except for, y’know, you.

Are you sure that you’re not just projecting?
Less chance of sexual assault?
Because women asked for them as they started to spend more time working outside the home and wanted more safety.
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.
