I think it’s dangerous to argue rape as gender specific when children are being sexually abused at alarming rates both girls and boys.
If your argument is protection: gender is irrelevant because statistics aside a violent act is a violent act.
If your argument is men shouldn’t be in women’s facilities then that needs to be at every level… the rape thing just weakens your point.
My argument in this context responding to the statement that rape has nothing to do with sex and gender, when it so clearly does.
Women are far more likely to be raped by a man than the other way around. This is true in the reported statistics and overwhelming when considering all that goes unreported.
And this is rooted in real biology, that men are larger and stronger than women, and more violent and aggressive.
Let's not pretend that isn't true.
Basically just acknowledging reality and not trying to twist it into this gender neutral fantasy is what I'm trying to articulate.
Oh ok. I understand. There are biological differences between men and women.
My original point is that our society runs in such a way that men are under attack and we can’t address it because of all the straw men that have been thrown up.
