22. Sigh
Feminists, she says, "rarely discuss what to do to reduce the likelihood of a rape. Short of re-educating men, that is."

Like heck. Feminists discuss how women can avoid rape and protect themselves if they encounter a potential rape situation. However, they also go one step further and discuss the all-important factor of re-educating those who do the raping--men. Men are the source of the problem, so it makes sense to work towards preventing them from committing the act, rather than merely penalizing the potential victims as other "rape prevention" efforts often do.

Riley just doesn't get it. :eyes:
