i am so fucking fed up with the very common response made by “totally sensitive, understanding” dudes when talking about rape that, “yeah rape is bad, but lets not forget its not JUST a male perpetrated crime.” are you fucking kidding me? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Rape is a problem with men, not women. it hurts to hear the truth, dudes. but you know what also hurts? living in a society that basically assures you that you and/or many women close to you WILL (not might) be raped or sexually assaulted by a man. You know, because 98% of reported rapes (and its estimated that only 20% of all rapes are actually reported) are committed by men. You know, because patriarchy does exist. The gender binary does exist. Because male dominance and entitlement is constantly reinforced and celebrated within our society. Because as a group, men hold women, as a group, into a subordinate position. That’s why is seems totally cool for some dudes to bring up that TWO FUCKING PERCENT of rape is committed by women. Like that somehow stands up to the other almost 100% done by men? This isn’t a fucking contest. This isn’t a fucking way for women to just rag on men. The “women rape too” argument doesn’t work. It only serves to buffer men from a really difficult truth about their gender. The truth being that men are taught fucked up ways to express their masculinity. That men are the rapists. The fact that they either must fight against their privilege or be complicit with the torture and degradation of every woman in their life. No exceptions.
2% vs. 98%. Shut the fuck up and listen.
