You could not have proven their point more strongly if you tried.

Fact is, even if it was "always a man", the fact of the matter is that the vast, vast majority of men don't do it, making the assumptions about men not only immoral, but inaccurate.

White supremacists use the exact same logic, pointing at crime statistics, to justify prejudice toward black people. This is the male sex version of "around blacks never relax", nothing more, don't pretend otherwise.

I'm a man, I'm not a rapist. In fact I'm the survivor of childhood sexual abuse. It's absurdly offensive to me to be called the thing I hate most, an rapist. And I hate that I'm fair game at being called that, simply because I was born the "bad gender".

The thing is I like being a man, I'm proud to be a man, I'm happy with my life. but even saying that makes people look at you weird. I have no idea why.

another thing that I really dislike is that men are looked at weird when they say they like children, often assuming in a sexual way

our whole species is genetically built to find children cute, we literally have no other choice

My daughter is 13 now and I get weird looks when I hold her hand on hug her in public. She's a huge daddy's girl so she's very affectionate, and I hate the weird looks old ladies give me
