You touched on it somewhat already, but covering more of the double standards between men and women in other areas. The differences in punishments and treatment of both sexes for identical crimes. That one may be a bit harder because laws vary state to state. I'd also be interested in your thoughts about false accusers, the ones that are proven beyond a doubt to be false. Maybe with custody cases as well. I only really see the child perspective there so I'm not sure how strongly those actively dealing with that feel. I know I would've liked to see my father more and not be used as a weapon against him growing up.

Edit: I would also love to be able to smile and say hello to a child without it automatically assumed I am a pedophile who wants to abduct them. People assume the worst because i am male, and how messed up is that?

A lot of guys are like that, thinking they can't share their feelings. Especially when it's something like assault and rape. I was sexually assaulted once. It took me a few tries to finally open up about mine but still haven't with my male friends. First person I ever told, replied that she didn't believe a man could experience that, unless it was a child. It was devastating to be told that my experiences weren't valid. I shared on here one day and it was a huge weight off my chest and then I tried again with a real life friend. I actually started to get better from an emotional standpoint. Had been eating at me for nearly 2 years. Makes me think about the guys who still haven't spoken about it yet and it really pains me. Not that I'm entirely better but how many are still suffering in silence?
