Nope. I call DARVO. Of course, the first man to reply centres the concerns of men who are victims. Nowhere in my statement do I say that men are not victims. You are not a woman and do not understand what it's like to be on the receiving end of male aggression and violence.

My entire 'rant' which you refer to in a derogatory way simply proves my point. You compare me to a 'sociopathic' woman. Insult me rather than provide any legitimate rebuttal to my points. The fact is, men cannot/will not take accountability. In truth, as a mother of a son and someone who loves and often defends men, I CARE enough about men to call them out. Not out of spite, but because I hold them to a higher standard than they seem to hold for themselves. When we look at the sheer SCALE of victimization, which is the essence of my post, men are doing the sexual violence by far. Not only to women, btw, but to men as well. At what point, will men stop defending their own male pattern violence? I beg you to consider the harm that your reply is doing by redirecting the focus to men, always men, forever men, as innocent victims. Sheesh! It's crazy-making.

Imagine that every day of your life you have to constantly be on your guard against abuse and violence from people you encounter as you move through your day, at work, at home, in social settings. Now add to that the fact that if you ARE abused YOU will be blamed more often than not. YOU will not get justice. YOU will be left to deal with the consequences. THEY will be treated as the victim because you had the audacity to report them. Then consider that the person who victimizes you is usually someone close to you. Someone you know and trust.

It's mind-blowing that men don't get this. It blows my mind every time. The entitlement and lack of empathy are deeply disturbing. Open your eyes. Please. Where is your humanity?
