One in five women and one in seventy one men has been raped at some point in their lives. Chances are you know a rapist without knowing it or you’ve shoved the warning signs under the carpet. The fact that you probably know a rapist is an ugly, disgusting truth that doesn’t compare at ALL with being a victim of sexual assault.
Not all of y’all are bad, but all of y’all reap the benefits of the patriarchal society we live in and that’s the point of these posts. You’re either helping to dismantle the patriarchy or you’re enabling it. There’s no in between.

So I'm not trying to be antagonistic, but here's a bit f food for thought:
Firstly, let's acknowledge that 1 in 5 women will be raped/sexually assaulted. Knowing this, let's think about how many men will commit rape. According to a 2010 survey by the CDC, 90% of those rapes will be perpetrated by men. I live in the USA, so I'll use the number of American women: 157 million. So, 31.4 million women have been raped, and 28.4 million of those rapes were committed by men. To account for repeat offenders, I'll roughly apply a study done on college campuses, that showed by surveying men on campus that most men that had raped while under the influence of alcohol did it again. In this study, the average rapist raped 10 different women. A quick google search provided a few other studies as well about the average number of victims per rapist, but 10 seems to be a general average. I'm happy to correct this number if you disagree. Therefore, using this number, if 28.4 million women are raped by men a year, and each rapist rapes about 10 victims, then there are about 2.84 million rapists in America. There are 138 million men in America, so about 2% of men in America are rapists. I assume you know more than 50 men, so odds are you do know a rapist.
But let's say you don't. Even if, out of all the men you know, not one of them has ever raped a women, why are you uncomfortable when one women says she hates men? If we look at statistics, she has a pretty valid reason to not like men. There's an 18% chance she's been raped by a man. Theres an 81% chance she's been harassed by a man. She's probably paid less than her male coworkers. Her government representatives probably aren't fighting for her interests. She's probably been made to feel inferior to her male coworkers for reasons that have nothing to do with her job performance. The list goes on. Let's be clear: when a women says "I hate men," she's not saying that you, an individual, maybe took her out on a bad date, or bought her an ugly bouquet of flowers. She's expressing a valid discomfort with systematic discrimination against women .... by men! So, I'm sorry you feel uncomfortable when a woman says she hates men, but i you think the only way that men hurt women is by raping them, you need to grow up and get over yourself.
