ETA: Ok, maybe they don't need to shove it. But I think more important issues than the "cry rape" are at hand. False accusations are a big deal, yes. But what is happening in our society to lead to these crimes against women and children? What is happening to boys and men in our society to lead 16-year olds from normal families in Calgary to be raping 8 year olds in a park? To men spiking drinks at clubs with drugs? To men date-raping women? I just don't understand.
False accusations are important and shouldn't be overlooked. But there are far, FAR, more urgent issues to be addressed regarding sexual assualts IMO. |
I think most people share this view, men and women but that statement and similar ones always feel to me like women blaming all men rather than blaming ther perpatrator. You might not be intending to say this but this is how I read it.
I get frusterated in these types of discussions when men as a gender are blamed for rape and rape culture. Men as a gender arent to blame for rape. Rapists are to blame for rape.
