"all men are potential rapists"

[mercuryblues]

328. I guess these words

are invisable to you

intellectually meaningless statements I have read recently

those who advocate such a position will say, well a woman doesn't know who is a rapist, therefore all men are potentially thus.


all short people are potential serial killers because I don't know which ones are and which ones are not. If it was a proven statistic that only short people were serial killers, I would take that seriously, but it is not.

all women are potential car thieves because I don't know which ones are and which ones are not. Which is why I always lock my doors. I have no idea if a car thief is around. But by his logic, we shouldn't lock our doors for safety.

all redheads are potential cannibals because....
Yes, I read about the recent outbreak of redheaded cannibals running around.

His whole post was nothing but mocking and trying to shame women for putting their safety above his ego.

Women know there are many, many more men that are perfectly nice out there, than rapists. The only shame is that some men are offended because if women don't know them they have to be cautious around them. That is not even including the aquaintance rape stats. That is a whole 'nother discussion.
