264. .
I like how you don't even bother in that post to say something like, 'Yeah, men who don't support the crime of rape should speak out against the men (like the kind of guys who would take advantage of women at frat parties) who do rape...'

Because I figure that goes without saying. Also, I was kind of upset and offended by the remark that I read. That being the case, that particular remark was the one that I wanted to address. I apologize if my posting style does not live up to your high standards. The comment that I was addressing appeared to be accusing all men of being complicit in rape - something that struck me as particularly sexist and vile. I'm sorry if you can't see why that might possibly be offensive to men, say, who have been raped themselves.

Kinda shows right there where your priorities are.

Uh-huh. It's fascinating how you can claim to know so much about me from a couple of my posts on the internet.

You're far too busy feeling sorry for yourselves in public over feeling 'accused'.

You, like the other poster, know nothing about me, the work I do, or the values I hold. I am offended that you would presume such things about me, as I'm sure you would be offended if I presumed the same things about you.
