Aaaaaaand of course, we get the tiny-d**k word twisters in here. We SHOULD be disgusted with rape. We shouldn't be whining about how insulted we are that a woman is afraid of being raped. As was said (I think by Margaret Atwood), "Men are afraid a woman will laugh at them. Women are afraid a man will kill them." It's paraphrased, but it catches the fear females have of the physically-stronger sex. That's really all we are; testosterone-induced anger factories when we don't get our way. And if we're not, we're wusses, and babies, and faggots. (The inflammatory word is true in my case, but I'm not going to whine. I guess only we realize what the hell's wrong with this picture.) And to the people below, YES, WOMEN RAPE! What the f**k do you think those teachers did with their male students? Sure as hell wasn't some jolly romp in the sheets; they were committing rape. Upon individuals who could not consent due to their age. Can you stop crying about the problem and try to be a solution?

Correction! Closet homosexual prevalent male sense of intitlement!

She does not say all men are rapists; the overgeneralization is your interpretation.

Listen. At the end of the day no one is condemning any gender of anything. Rape is wrong, we all agree. The end.

Sometimes the truth is hurtful. But in some places men are more comfortable with it. In many more places, rape is still the woman's fault.

Please cut and past where she called all men tapists. Or even rapists men. She wrote rapists rape people, not outfits.

Would you say the statement "people should not drink and drive" says that all drivers drive drunk?

Except absolutely none of that was said here. More of you reading into things that are legitimately not there.

If this movement is to fight against rape, and not also take a jab at men why make such a childish statement like it does?

Guys watching a movie: In one scene, girl changes her bloody pad on camera. Later, she is raped. Which evokes an obvious response?

so you're offended that other men rape women and they misrepresent you as a man?

so you're offended because other men rape women and they miss represent you as a man?

Directly insulting women and making a generizaton about how men think are not the same thing.

Are you delusional or can you not read? Are you mad because she's right and you know it?

She never said that all men are rapists. She pointed out that most men are more uncomfortable discussing periods than talking about rape.

It is not a misinterpretation. It is clearly generalizing men.

Why? It's just as hurtful as implying that men are more comfortable with rape than they are with periods.

That's not even a legitimate comparison.

when did she even say that?

I think that you telling me that you think i'm okay with sexually assaulting someone is just as bad as me calling you stupid. If not worse.

If i left a note on a lamp post that said something silly like: ''i wish women weren't so soulless and stupid'' how would you react?

She's saying that men are more disgusted with thoughts provoked from the word "period" vs the word "rape". Not that all men are rapists.

Imagine if you saw the importance of fighting rape instead of seeing this message as an attack on yourself (I assume you're not a rapist :-)

Where is man-hating here?! It means that some men should regard "rape" as disgusting and unacceptable!

Never said it makes anything better. You need to learn how to comprehend what you're reading instead of reading what is not there...

To stereotype all men to be disgusted by periods and not by rape is like saying all feminists are men haters. Perhaps don't stereotype men?

u got no brain either.

@JPolaczyk- you did not just say women are not rapists. I bet you a million $ some are. What, you have to have a penis to rape?

what do you expect? we women have NO JOICE! We HAVE TO accept it! And on my experience, more men then women talk about how disgusting it is.

JPolaczyk women* are rapists too , and domestic abusers. get your facts straight (reposted due to being unable to edit other post)

Most men (who aren't rapists) are disgusted by rape and they do not find it acceptable. This woman is an imbecile.

JPolaczyk woneb are rapists too , and domestic abusers. get your facts straight

How does that make things better?

I see the importance of fighting rape, i just don't see the necessity to generalize all men as heartless freaks of nature.

I read what i see written. She didn't write anything about this word or that, she just said that men are more comfortable with rape.

She would have written "women" if women were rapists too. But they are NOT.

The problem is, the meaning of the word "rape" has been diluted to be used in other areas of culture and doesn't evoke the feelings it shoul

to reply to BabyKangeroo7 this is nonsens. Men also get raped just not the same way we women get raped.

Exactly what I thought would happen. How sad is it that ppl find the post more offensive than the very real issue of acceptance attitudes.

I really don't think that the problem is with the word itself. Besides, isn't it the context that matters?

To reply to JPolaczyk, it is like basically physically impossible for a woman to rape a man.... that is why women can't get charged for that

You obviously have no logic. To your brain logic is a dish eaten by aliens on thanksgiving.

It's basically the same thing.
