I seriously doubt any woman claimed all men benefit from rape, but please feel free to provide evidence if I am mistaken. You wouldn't be one of those people who thinks references to patriarchy mean that women are blaming you personally? <sigh> One doesn't need to condemn all men to object to rape. There are plenty of rapists to go around, and some happen to be on this site.
I've seen a number of reference to guns and small penises by men. But for some reason, you only put the women on ignore, or you assume they are all women. I wonder why that is the case? I myself never make such comments. To do so is intellectually weak, like calling a woman a bitch. The problem with people (there may be a few women among them) who feel a need to stockpile assault rifles is far more serious than anatomy. The fact that such people exist in this nation and that we have built our laws around accommodating them is a sign of a profound cultural sickness. It is far too perverse and deadly to be funny.
I don't have a problem with people disagreeing with me. I made that very clear in the OP. I said I believe I have the right to be challenged on my ideas rather than be insulted because I am a woman. Being challenged for ideas assumes disagreement.
Just why would you wander into a feminist group? Given your delicate sensibilities, I'd think you would put the entire group on ignore (i.e. trash it). Women here even talk about rape. It would be unfortunate if you felt personally insulted by evil rape survivors.
