MensRights: What do you think of this article, and what would be your well-articulated response to what seems to be its assumptive gender-inequities.

What do I think? That this woman provides no citations yet presents outrageous numbers that should raise an eyebrow for anybody who isn't mentally defective. I'm intrigued as to what "Occupyrape" would actually look like, and how she foresees getting more than a few thousand Dworkins quoting drones to rally behind her.

But mostly, I wouldn't respond. What occurs overseas that she discusses is none of my concern. It is tragic, but we have no cause to intervene. And the actually alarming prevalence of rape in places like DR Congo as compared to the US is reflective of a broader cultural sickness these countries suffer. At home, I don't feel I need to defend rape jokes because there is no such thing as an unacceptable joke. Unfunny jokes exist, but humor is subjective. If she doesn't find it funny, it doesn't make it universally so. And her citations of Herman Cain show that she is irrational, since mere accusation translates to guilt in her mind. If we accept that premise, why even bother having a society? We'd be better protected by anarchy.
