For whatever reason there's a subset of men that genuinely believe you can bully a woman into having sex with you. It's not exclusive to any generation either. And they're fuckin mad cuz they genuinely think they're being singled out and that this is the strategy actually works for other men.
As men I think it’s our job to disabuse those people of that notion. Using compassion first, but then mockery and whatever else is at hand.
Unfortunately in a lot of situations, they're right. It's called rape, even if done just with words. We need to beat those words out of those men.
Don't downplay the severity of actual rape by comparing it to insults please
That's not what I was doing. I'm saying using your words to pressure or coerce a woman into sex is also rape.
It still seems unwise to conflate those two things
