“the true nature of men “
except that jesse Matthews is not representative of men, at least not normal, white, heterosexual Christian men.
by the way, lumping all men together is no different than lumping people by race or religion and then stereotyping that race or religion.
“except that jesse Matthews is not representative of men, at least not normal, white, heterosexual Christian men.”
Yeah, I have a big problem with these claims too, especially the recent “tumblr feminists” saying that we just need to “teach men not to rape”. As if rape is some crime of simple ignorance than any man might potentially commit because we don’t know any better!
In a civilized society, only the most sadistic and disturbed criminals commit rape. It’s usually not a “casual” crime that is committed by people not already living a criminal lifestyle of some sort. On the contrary, criminals usually work their way up to rape, after progressing through various lesser crimes over a period of time. They are specifically seeking the thrill of doing something that they know is wrong, and they arrive at rape after become jaded to the thrills that other, less violent, crimes can provide.
Saying that we can “teach men not to rape” is as silly as saying we can “teach people not to be serial killers”. The pathologies are so closely related, that one commonly transitions right into the other if a criminal runs free long enough. It’s also obvious that such pathologies are present in both men and women, as we do have some examples of sadistic female serial killers. Of course we don’t see any female serial rapists, but I have no doubt that, if they had the equipment, there would examples of those too.

True, but it’s necessary in order to successfully paint all women as weak and helpless victims; thereby keeping the gravy train going.
