I find myself stunned but not stunned at the fact that the course was mandatory for women but men were neither required nor even encouraged to attend.

According to research you can look up for yourself, about 13% of men admit they would rape a woman if they could be sure they would suffer no consequences. And if you remove the word rape, 30% admit they either would coerce a woman into sex.

Sigma _93 sure is. He’s arguing again’t everything you just said — and what Dinosaur said, and what I said — upthread.

When you are hiding your valuables, but people are still saying that they want to rob you every time they see you on the street, you can be cautious.

I like* how you are both pedantic and a misuser of the word “literally.”

Hey, buddy!

There are billions of Muslims in the world, but only a few thousand Muslim terrorists. The number of people in America who have been attacked by Muslims since 9/11 is less than the number of Harvey Weinstein’s victims. One in three people are not harassed by Muslims. One in six people are not assaulted by Muslims. Yet…

Firstly, you can get that “sorry” right out of your mouth.

You are asking them to conform. They say that they protect themselves, not by antagonizing you, but by being cautious around you. We can’t have that, though. If I feel safe, everyone else should feel safe and they are being ridiculous if they do not.

Literally my first college “class” was a How Not To Get Raped seminar during orientation.

I wonder how many of the guys whining about how they just didn’t KNOOOOOOOOW (and all, to a one, showing huge red flags of entitlement and boundary violations themselves) have also heard about, I don’t know, Gamergate?

We got an “all-clear” from her cardiologist literally just yesterday. And she will be pleased to hear you asked about her.

Mad. Losing hair. Losing my mind and committed to making sure to #resist loudly. Yk, just another day in ‘17. 😑.. you??? How’s your mom????

I think every woman has a short list. I think the tragedy is that all our lists are all shorter than we know or that you guys are willing to admit. So I’m not sure what point you were trying to make.

Eeeeeeeee!! I wonder how you are ALL THE TIME! How *are* you??

Hey beautiful. 💕❤️💕❤️💕 Just wanted to say I love you.

I wish you’d run up and down the thread and post that link in response to EVERY SINGLE MAN in here “butbutbut”-ting and doing the #NotMe like Russell Simmons and the #NotAllMen like a full-on Matt Damon. That piece was written just about a decade ago, and we’re still having this conversation. Literally tens of…

I’m certain I am not informing YOU about this, but this link might serve as more good reading on this very same subject for the well-meaning commentariat:

Me too, and I’ll admit I was pretty much dreading it. But it had to be done.

I aim to please.
