Yet another ignorant post (this time from /r/funny) promoting the "all men are rapists" idea; any comment saying otherwise is heavily downvoted.

The number of white knights in this thread stating that if men could just contain their rapist natural tendencies there would be no more rape, is mind-boggling. Why don't they understand that their attitudes of blaming an entire sex for a specific crime are just as bad, if not worse than the "victim-shaming" they rail so hard against?

Rapists are scum.

And I refuse to believe all men need to be told explicitly "not to rape".

Just like I refuse to believe all blacks need to be told explicitly "not to steal".

The majority of men don't commit rape.

And those who do oughta be strung up! After a just trial.

What victim blaming? Telling women to use common sense safety precautions? All these "tips" in the OP are doing is treating all men as rapists. It's the same fallacious logic of gun control nuts who think taking away law abiding citizens' guns will solve the problem of violent crime. Here's a tip, they're criminals! What makes you think criminals are going to see this and think, "gee, maybe I shouldn't do that"? They're criminals and are going to break the law regardless. In the gun control analogy all you're doing is separating potential victims from tools they can use to protect themselves. In a similar fashion removing any personal responsibility for people to protect themselves from rape by taking common sense steps for personal safety puts all the responsibility on criminals deciding not to victimize others. It's just another way we infantilize women. God damn people, use some common sense!

Haven't we established the fact that with an adjusted definition of rape to include 'forced to insert' the number of female rapists would skyrockets? Why don't we put together a standard response for threads like these to include those numbers?

Dictionary.com's definition of rape: the unlawful compelling of a person through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.

Not all men rape, so its time to remove such hatred from the world.
