Where I live, this is most commonly heard when celebrities or politicians are accused of "impropriety." You'll get stories like "Local Politician Had Non-Consensual Sex with a 15-Year-Old Prostitute" when the story should be "Local Politician Raped a Minor."

Yes. We should teach our children this!!!

It's terrible a teenage child ends up in that situation of becoming pregnant, by force or by accident. That Plan B pill should be available to teens just as easily as pads and tampons, and without shame. To be forced to go through an abortion or to carry to full term is both hard on their bodies and both can be further violating and traumatizing. Although, I do think it's good abortions are legal, here. I don't agree they should be glamourized as an easy fix suitable for all. It's not, and safe abortions still come with risk and psychological/emotional trauma. How about we start teaching boys respect towards girls.

No one is saying that violence against men is okay. But we should also recognize that women are FAR more likely to be murdered or raped by their partners than men are. (Stats show women are twice as likely to be murdered, and four times as likely to be raped.) That's real, and it's something that men, especially men who date women, should recognize.

@Myopinionhasbeenserved-Girls who have been with x number if guys are considered a whore and it runs her reputation. Guys that have been with the same number of girls are considered studs. Girls that play with cars as a child are fine but boys showing interest in something "girly are sissy. The list goes on and on.

It's an interesting statement, but I think the point was a bit missed here. It could be a cultural difference, but the way it was "taught" to us was more in an emotional way. Like, girls mature faster in the sense that they'll get interested into finding love earlier than boys, get interested in health and social issues earlier and so on. Now, I don't know whether this is true or not, and if true, whether it's really biological or socially enforced, but it doesn't mean girls give up childish behaviour either.

Women develop language skills at an earlier age. Girls were never considered to have the same ability in math, science. etc. A black woman found an error in the math that would have John Glens Friendship 7 burn upon reentry. The high school boys picking up the girl in middle school is only the beginning. They talk twice as much as men do on an average day. But that's only because we have to repeat everything and they still might not get it.

Screw you for the Che Guevara poster. A murderer.

You hit adulthood and there are a lot of women who have no idea how to even take care of themselves? AS A WOMAN.. I can tell you that 100% I expect men to be more mature by far...

I don't agree with this one. Boys suffer more corporal punishment than girls do.

I noticed this all along. Don't tell women to "close their legs" just because she has kids. That's disgusting. For every woman who has kids with multiple men, just think of how many kids those men have with other women.

NO MEANS NO! I have a bf- NO! I'm not interested-NO! NO-NO! Respect the word NO!

Also they know how to be respectful and not creepy, no matter what they claim. If they manage to not harass the men in their lives they know how they could treat the women.

Truth

Men did not give women anything. All the freedoms women enjoy right now, were fought for by the women who came before us.

It is strange. Some levels of realism should not be displayed for entertainment purposes.

And there are people, even here on BP, who will mock folks who support women empowerment and feminism and will call them "fake feminists" just to get on their nerves, and mostly because they have absolutely nothing meaningful and thought-provoking things to say.

Because men cannot handle not being centered in the conversation. Its the same reason conversations about race have to be recentered on white feelings by conservative commentators.

Sometimes I wanna scream that men are the 'emotional gender'.

Run as fast as you can.

Working mums get called neglectful parents, and stay-at-home mums get called anti-feminists. But those people need to mind their own f*****g business.

I'm male & also wheelchair bound. The amount of people who think they can touch me or my chair. Yet I'm the one who has been arrested 3 times for my reaction.

Never forget that the whole “female body hair is gross” BS was made up by Gillette in the 1920s to sell more razors.

Also you know they only want young virgins. I’m 37 and still a virgin, largely because I heard about how strong and savvy women are expected to be when dating and was like “I think I’ll wait until I’m mentally strong enough to deal with that”, and I somehow doubt those men are thinking of women like me when they bang on about wanting virgins.

I had to open it in a separate window to see, but the chart on the left goes from age 7 to 18 (with TWELVE [!] being the highest bar), and the chart on the right shows the men's answers, which are mostly 20 or 21, with the oldest being 24. Ew. Just... Ew.

Yes, that's why the term "pro life" is so outrageously inaccurate. The correct term is "anti-choice." Everyone needs to work it into their dialogue.

As one who was raped at 14 years old-Rape is traumatic. There's nothing funny about it! I am now 43 and still have all the feels from the day it happened.

Why should single mothers be demonised when they are the ones that stayed.

This is especially true for the internet. We don't take cyber harassment as seriously as we should, I believe.

How hard is it to simply ask “are you sure?”, and wait to hear “yes” before going any further? Not at all a mood killer. In fact, it can be a mood enhancer for the woman—-and if her mood is enhanced, yours will be too.

Sadly true

If what we're wearing is the issue, why are you guys so afraid of homosexual men? Of course, question directed to these types of people specifically.

"She should have been more careful", "She shouldn't have worn a short dress", "She was asking for it", and the BS goes on and on.

I think those happiness studies showed that single women were happiest. Its why conservative/ religious men are freaked out about women being financially independent. If we aren't dependent on them, we don't need to put up with the BS or make their lives easier.
