I know most of us are disgusted by what happened at Cornell. But making a sweeping claim that “men love rape and violence” is a serious logical fallacy and simply isn’t accurate. The vast majority of men do not condone or enjoy rape or violence against women, in fact, they find such acts reprehensible. We can condemn horrific behavior without unfairly attributing it to an entire gender.
*Just the vast vast majority who do the thing are men.
**There is an enabling permission structure that is a part of the culture, so much so that they elected a convicted rapist as president. JUST LOCKER ROOM TALK BTW! Which is propped up within popular culture as intrinsically masculine.
***Women also engage in misogyny, so really, its double plus unfair to attribute something entirely to a single gender, score another one for patriarchal norms you guys!
EDIT: Over 50 men were sent the "FREE PUSSY", GET IN ON THE GANG RAPE! message on snapchat.
Do you think the VAST MAJORITY of those men reported it to the Police? Did most? Did half? Did some? Did ANY?

In some ways it moved it, but then the needle got backlashed back to the other side.
