/u/Rho_Cassiopeiae with a great comment about the statement "Teach men not to rape"

The inference that most rapists and perpetrators of crime will always be men is inaccurate, and i do not know why the author of the original comment has even chosen to add this to the debate.

Sorry if this does not belong here, I just found this over at AdviceAnimals and thought it was a very well articulated comment that could be interesting to you guys. :)

The most powerful argument against this kind of thing seems to be to turn the concept of 'rape culture' against its creators. Statements like these carry an underlying assumption that all men are naturally inclined to be rapists, and what could be more normalizing than to assert that a thing is a biological imperative? In reality, rape is a deviant behavior, regardless of the sex/gender/whatever of the perpetrator and victim, and should always be treated as such.

An interesting thought concerning how the feminist notion of "victim blaming" with regards to rape is at odds with reality. Feminism seems to believe in general that the world is inherently good and that men have corrupted it. In contrast, we here seem to believe that the world is inherently bad and that men have worked hard to create a safer section of it.

One of these concepts is born from a place of such tremendous privilege that it's simply mind blowing. Hell, if you consider both views, the feminist view completely fails to explain the MRA view but the MRA view completely explains the feminist one. This is noteworthy because the MRA one doesn't try to explain the feminist one, it just reveals feminism's inherit narcissism.

This user...why doesn't he post here? He's very smart and articulate and he posts about a lot of different topics.

Its not really all that important that they came up with a snappy come back for the "teach women to x, y z" (like they are infants)" crowd. IDK why we seem to be stuck in perpetual conflict with it when there are way more important, non white knighting issues - like the fact the organised movement is threatening men's rea and omitting the stats of female perpetration.
