Frankly I'm disappointed that you immediately had to revert to low blows. I didn't insult you. I didn't name call. I just pointed out that you didn't seem interested in a discussion. Your post sounded to me like you were talking down to the person you quoted without actually providing any interesting or substantial counterpoints.

I provided three different examples of why I though Cliff was wrong. What exactly was hyperbolic about that? I went back an re-read the post, and I don't see it as particularly abrasive. I'm not going to argue that nature plays no role in the matter, but I do think it's incorrect to assume that culture plays a minor role and there's not much we can do about it. At the very least we can be doing a lot more to support SA survivors by making it culturally unacceptable to silence and shame them.
