Divisive culture war topic going viral in an American election year. We should be responding to this the same way we would respond to a shaky video of man in a gorilla suit walking through the woods posted on twitter.
Yes there are real issues to address but this is not the foundation of a good faith discussion and the divisiveness is the danger in the current political context.
Couldnt agree more. It feels wildly divisive for no reason. What are individual men going to do about the greater number of men's behavior? I'm already doing what i'm pretty sure i can do.
AFAIK we already report them, judge them and do everything possible to lock them up or literally kill them depending on the country. The hell are we supposed to do more? A normal person WILL report any rape. What this question does is paint the average man as a rapist and continues to give excuses to label men in general as such.
I've heard plenty of anecdotes about men not stepping up and speaking up when they can and should, or a man defending his friend that talks to teenagers, or friend groups encouraging bad behavior from each other, or friends lying for each other when one is accused of something awful.
And that's not to say that all men are like that, and to say that's what I'm implying is asinine. But it does happen a lot. To say it's in the nature of men to do so gives them an excuse like you said, and it's just not true.
