I don't disagree but I think it's a lot easier for me to teach my son not to be a rapist. At 7 he understands boundaries. It's not hard.

    Yeah... too bad you can't teach other people's sons not to be rapists - they're the ones you've gotta worry about

    Better yet we do both. Hell we should also be spreading awareness and providing programs to help support people to prevent and recover from incidents like this. It's a complex social issue so it should be tackled from all directions simultaneously

    Let's also not forget that a certain percentage of people are simply fucked up beyond repair, no matter how they are raised.

    So teaching women basic self defense is absolutely the way to go.

    I want to live in a world, where this piece of shit tries to rape someone and ends up with a broken nose, arm and exploded nutsack.

    It's amazing what you can do if you try.

    Did you know that modern society has an entire profession based around teaching other people's sons? Like, adults learn for years how to do this, and then we pay those people to teach our sons and everyone else's sons too. Most countries even make it a legal requirement to be taught by someone!

    It's amazing.

    You're presenting that as a gotcha moment? Just wait until you realize... that schools already teach you not to rape. Almost like a baseline level of functioning in society... requires you to be aware of basic rules like don't rape or murder?

    The same schools that fire teachers for talking about sex ed? Yeah, you have no idea.
