when are we allowed to call sexism?
Im getting so sick of this "all men are rapists" mere that feminists latch onto like some kind of sick life preserver.

Are the majority of rapists men?
Yes

Is the system rigged against women?
yes

Do women commit rape?
SIGNIFICANTLY more than what is reported! Let alone prosecuted.

My point?
I dunno, maybe im just venting. Im so sick and tired of being accused of something id never do or haven't done!

And I hate to say this, but sometimes (note not a majority by any stretch) people DO put themselves in bad situations.

Let's be honest, if you goto a frat party and get blasted out of your mind and flirt with every guy there you are not actively protecting yourself.

Do the frat boys get off free? Hell no!
that doesn't change the fact you did something seriously stupid!
another note...and I realize most man haters will ignore these, I did not use a gender.
gay rape is a very real reality!

Am I blaming the victim? No! Even if you do something tremendously stupid as noted above, there is no excuse for rape.

The onus is ALWAYS on the rapist, whoever that is

1. Also annoying is the idea that all men have a responsibility to stop rape
I don't feel some special responsibility in that regard, any more than I feel a special responsibility as a man to stop car hijackings.

4. Sometimes it's hard to know why a post is removed
If you can't tell by reading the rules, you can ask in the Ask the Admins forum.
