(110,159 posts)i have enjoyed reading your posts thru out, for the simple fact you spent the time to self reflect and honestly share an opinion from so many angles, subjects and issues. i LOVE it. what i see the site as.
the all men are potential rapist came from a comment (i forget who) that when a woman dates a man, sees a man on the street, she does not know he is not a rapist. from a womans point of view, all men are potential rapists, until they are not. not that all men are rapists. i could go out with my buddy i have known for years, and he could rape me. i could swear he wouldnt, not who he is, but at any point, he could. doesnt mean he will. same with the stranger walking down the street. or he passes by and says, hey, how are you. i say fine, and you.... and we go on our way.
the problem with much of the discussion is the purposeful misrepresentation of what is being said to have confrontation. and then it becomes nothing more than a waste of time.
but
i have enjoyed your posts. and was glad you put the time into them. i always enjoy hearing a man discuss this to get a better view.
