"The fact is from sports leagues to pop culture to politics, our society still does not sufficiently value women," Mr. Obama said."

In the early 1900's, women only lived on average 2 years longer than men (the last time I looked it up on wikipedia). In the 1970's or so, women lived 7-8 years on average longer than men. Now it's down to women "only" living 5 years longer.

That his idea of "not sufficiently valuing" women, that they "only" live 5 years longer than men.

"It is on the parents of young men to teach them respect for women," Mr. Obama said. "And it's on grown men to set an example and be clear about what it means to be a man. It is on all of us to reject the quiet tolerance of sexual assault."

This campaign is already a farce. It clearly can't be on "all of us" if the President, by his own words, only targets men.

It's the same old lies and demonization of men.

Valenti had an article today saying the same thing.

It made me think just one question.

Sure, I agree we should all look out for each other. I agree. Who doesn't.

But Obama and Valenti both phrase it in a specific way: It is the responsibility of surrounding men to protect a woman who might be raped, but NOT the responsibility of surrounding women.

In both narratives that are presented, 100% of the focus is on what men can do to prevent rape. There isn't even a word given to gender neutrality, or to the idea that women should also look out for other women.

It makes me think Feminists like Valenti and Obama have a deplorably low view of women.

Needless to say, this has nothing to do with reducing sexual assault. The President and his leering henchperson, Joe Biden, understand this.

As usual, feminists are using rape as a club to beat down men and encourage female chauvinism.

I'm a middle aged man and I can't think of one time I've witnessed a sex assault (except for that woman that grabbed my ass), had prior knowledge of sex assualt, or had a buddy confide in me that he was a rapist. It just doesn't work like that; but after the crime we are quick to demand those people are arrested, put those people on trial, and if they are found guilty, we are more than happy to put those people in prison.

Blaming a class of people for the actions of some . . . interesting.

Would you say it's on black parents to teach their kids not to be thugs to reduce the inner city violence epidemic that we can no longer ignore?

What about muslims parents and teaching their kids not to be terrorists?

What about literally any other group other than men?

While President Obama may be pandering, the program itself seems pretty gender neutral.
