"Men can stop rape"

Ransom_Stoddard · 2014-10-03T22:10:49+00:00

Blacks can stop theft.

Muslims can stop terrorism.

Women can stop throwing unwanted babies in dumpsters, infanticide, hypergamy, sperm-jacking, false rape/DV accusations, divorce, unfair child custody, child support, alimony, cheating, lying and stealing.

Strange double standards we have, it's hate speech if its targeted at any other group besides men. But since its targeted at men, its OK.

Don't tell airlines to install amored cockpit doors in planes, teach Muslims not to hijack planes.

Don't tell me to lock my car, teach Hispanics to not steal cars.

My favorite are the feminists who insist they shouldn't have to do things that make them less likely to be raped. I wonder if they leave their house and car unlocked because it's not their responsibility to prevent their shit from being stolen.

Jedi_Outcast · 2014-10-04T04:22:35+00:00

You guys are looking at this completely WRONG.

Women aren't accusing all men of being rapists.

They want us to turn into BATMAN and stop rapists!

We are the night!

sherpederpisherp · 2014-10-04T02:24:13+00:00

It's blatant victim-blaming as well. I was the only man present when I was raped. I should have stopped it, according to them.

railroadwino · 2014-10-04T06:08:06+00:00

I don't come here anymore because the opposition are literally mentally ill.

mriddell001 · 2014-10-04T02:46:27+00:00

The accurate statements are:

Illegal aliens can stop illegal immigration.
Meth addicts can stop meth usage.
Rapists can stop rape.

Though it's difficult to convince criminals not to commit crime, it's no less worthy of a cause.

LePetitChou · 2014-10-04T01:21:51+00:00

Not only is this inherently sexist, but it's oddly heteronormative. That's a big no-no on the left.

I guess we women can't be expected to stop anything...

Ninja_Yewnicorn · 2014-10-04T02:00:33+00:00

Can we agree that women and men can both be educated in ways that help bring the rape probability down? Take a look at India for example.. women and girls there are raped because they are walking down the street. There is a fight there now for men to teach other men not to rape or stop it if they see it. It can be a cultural thing where one gender thinks there isn't an issue with treating another gender poorly... but I don't think that's the issue in the US.

Do you think men have any responsibility in teaching other men that rape is not acceptable?

Black people can stop crime

TemporaryDolphin · 2014-10-05T10:34:20+00:00

Women can stop tossing babies into dumpsters! Or drowning them in bathtubs. OR locking the car doors and driving it into a lake.

McGauth925 · 2014-10-04T02:26:53+00:00

Well, it IS men that rape more often, even though it's a small minority. But, is this like saying, men can stop robbery, or women can stop prostitution?

Or, is it saying something like, It's my responsibility, because I belong to the group that does the most raping, to go out and spend a lot of time working on preventing rape. And, if I don't, that's just more evidence that I'm misogynous, or some kind of selfish low-life.

The thing is, men get assaulted more than women do. So, if there were a crime I wanted to go out and spend time putting a stop to, that would probably be the one.

wlxr · 2014-10-04T04:09:16+00:00

I love it.

Edit: Clearly I mean the message.

Knowone-4-I-Am · 2014-10-04T07:02:43+00:00

You really can not hold all men responsible for rape or that of another mans actions, even though were treated that way by the feminist movements. all people are held to be equal, male and female alike. if this is true, then not all men are to be nor should be held liable for other mens actions. and if this is not true, then there is no equality and feminism is a joke.

speedisavirus · 2014-10-04T15:12:04+00:00

I'd say 3 out of 4 are entirely true.

Arakin · 2014-10-04T15:29:08+00:00

Rape, just like immigration, terrorism, child abuse etc. etc. is a complicated issue. The problem with these kinds of issues is that no one really knows a good way to get people do stop doing this kind of shit when they do. Neither are these issues anything alike.

The best thing we can come up with is to address some of the underlying problems which seem to be prevalent, or important in leading to the issue we're trying to tackle.

With rape, you find that although there are a lot of other underlying problems, at least one important cause is opinion among groups of males. Things like "slutty girls want sex from anyone", "provocative dress is asking for rape", "they deserve to have sex with women because they are alpha males". These opinions by no means represent the majority of males, neither is it a reason to get your shit in a twist. But one thing is known and that is - modifying popular opinion in groups does solve issues.

In this particular instance and to be fair many others cited such as abuse of partners, terrorism, child molestation (a particular kind of rape although the motivation does differ wildly) there has been a benefit from a change in public opinion.

Men can stop rape in situations where group popular opinion about female roles is antiquated or just plain wrong. Rather than compare every complex issue why don't you do the sensible thing and look at each one in turn without taking it personally because it appears to attack members of your gender.

busior · 2014-10-04T15:39:38+00:00

I don't scream rape whenever I drink 2-3 beers and bang an ugly chick. Men take responsibility for their action, wimin are just yeah but I drank two beers so I was drunk, so I couldn't consent to a 10 men gangbang even though at the time I said that's what I want. I am clearly the victim even though everyone involved was drunk as well

ZayJay · 2014-10-04T15:46:09+00:00

I like the link and all, but why does the logo look like it was written with a bloody tampon?

zepha121 · 2014-10-04T03:35:08+00:00

How is that offensive? You can't justify rape whether it's done by a man or a woman. I understand where you're coming from, but it's certainly not feminism, If i said 'stop raping' are you saying i'd be called a feminist? Hahaha

Yojimara · 2014-10-04T07:52:17+00:00

"It's not the same thing."

Koalachan · 2014-10-04T02:40:45+00:00

Off topic (sorta): I'm Watching Revoltion and the symbol in the bottom right looks like the symbol for the Monroe Republic, which is basically the bad guy army.

slideforlife · 2014-10-04T09:15:39+00:00

women can stop divorce

del_preston · 2014-10-04T06:05:00+00:00

I know I'll get downvoted, but this is just stupid. I understand the point trying to be made, but it shouldn't be hard to make that point better than this.

Gawrsh · 2014-10-04T10:23:16+00:00

I don't see how anybody would even bother to read this when the design looks like it was done by someone using paint for their first time.

Surely a larger site like A Voice For Men could get someone with better design skills.

biscuitgravy · 2014-10-04T08:09:11+00:00

Women can stop rape too... by consenting. Oh, so NOW it's offensive?

LifeInBinary · 2014-10-03T22:09:51+00:00

Could there be a version that says "this is fine" instead of "feminism?"
