      I didn’t “blame a victim.” I pointed out it’s pretty obvious what’s happening, if you take a second and look.

      I once had an argument with my sister about how “all men are rapists.” I said I’m not. She said “not that you’d admit.” Ok, that avenue is a dead end, so i pivoted to “what about your son? He’s 8. Is he a rapist?” She looked me dead in the eye and said NOT YET.

      This is the mentality that ALL men are forced to face nowadays, not just the rapists. How do you expect to gain any allies when you preemptively push people away? Those people you shun end up somewhere. Gee, i wonder why the Joe Rogans and Andrew Tates and Jordan Petersons are all so popular suddenly…

        Its all about who lets themselves play into the extremes we are inundated with.

        Be careful not to apply the same logic to all women/leftists who apparently all think men are rapists. Thats obviously not true. Their claim about you is obviously not true.

        Diffuse the polarization with understanding.
