2	X-Post from r/Atheism You are the first person that has replied to any of my posts on this topic (in this thread and others) that actually seems to understand the point. Kudos my friend.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 07:47 PM
0	X-Post from r/Atheism i don't know how many times i need to say this for it to sink in. again, no one has ever said that men are rapists simply because they are men. the text implies that some men are rapists because they have not been taught better by their parents, and consequently, the social norms and mores of their society need to change. those men are most likely NOT sick fucking individuals, but are men that have been raised in a society that does not value women as highly as they do men, and do not look at ra…	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 04:56 PM
1	X-Post from r/Atheism i've seen the video in more psychology and sociology classes than i care to remember. but it has nothing to do with the topic at hand. i'll try to provide you a link to a source for the curfew thing if you actually give a shit, but i highly doubt that you do.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 04:48 PM
0	X-Post from r/Atheism you accidentally words, but that's ok, i got the gist of what you're driving at. Does encurage people to get self-defense lessons imply that it's their fault when they're attacked? Do side-airbags imply it's the victims fault if they die when another car crashes into theirs? no, none of those things implies that it is the victim's fault when something bad happens. however, the city government of Guwahati has attempted to put a curfew into place, thereby requiring BY LAW that women do not go out …	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 04:38 PM
0	X-Post from r/Atheism wrong. 11 men were identified on camera. more were in the mob that were not identified on camera. Not to encourage people to assume that men are rapists or would actively partake in something like that simply because they are men. again, no one has ever said that men are rapists simply because they are men. the text implies that some men are rapists because they have not been taught better by their parents, and consequently, the social norms and mores of their society need to change.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 04:31 PM
1	X-Post from r/Atheism it may not be helpful in itself, but at the very least, it draws attention to the fact that making women stay indoors after a certain hour for fear of being raped is not a valid solution.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 03:39 PM
2	X-Post from r/Atheism the bystander effect is well documented in psychological and sociological texts, studies, etc. however, as has been theorized, the bystander effect is a symptom of the social norms of a society, not the cause. to turn this to a discussion about the bystander effect is merely deflecting from the real problem, which is the way that women are treated in their society, especially in regards to rape. instead of merely attempting to find and prosecute as many of the perpetrators as possible, the city …	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 03:37 PM
-2	X-Post from r/Atheism so telling women to not go out after a certain time doesn't imply that getting raped is their own fault? seriously? if you don't see that, then you're naive at best, ignorant at worst.	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 03:27 PM
0	X-Post from r/Atheism i fully agree that a campaign to encourage bystanders to take action when seeing injustice occur would be a great idea, as opposed to laying blame on anyone other than the perpetrators of this incident. however, i also believe that turning this around into a "it's your fault you got raped because you went somewhere you shouldn't have" is ignoring the real underlying problem, which is the way rape is perceived in their society. also, a few (obviously not enough) people did try to step in. one man…	/r/MensRights	17/07/12 03:17 PM
46	X-Post from r/Atheism before you all get your boxers in a twist, you should actually check out the incident that led to this response: http://zeenews.india.com/news/assam/guwahati-girl-molestation-it-was-like-gang-rape-says-reporter_787411.html this isn't a case of some stupid naive girl going to a bad part of town. this is a case of a 17/20 yr old girl (some sources claim 17, others 20) going out to have some fun with friends, then being molested in a public, well-trafficked street, without anyone doing shit to stop…	/r/MensRights	16/07/12 10:42 PM
