Victim advocates applaud Craigslist rape verdict

52. I think

You and I would have to have a long conversation to come to an understanding. We seem to be talking past one another.

I do not get the impression of hostility or trolling from you, but simply a basic lack of understanding of how pervasive rape culture is.

Many men, because they love and respect the women in their lives, react with indignation or anger at the idea they may be participating in rape culture. This is, of course understandable.

It sounds as though you are trying to bring class arguments into this discussion. Class affects rape culture as a matter of degree, not as as matter of whether it exists.

Actually I agree in part with your last statement; Intersectionality could/ should be used for people to understand and accept the 'other', which includes blurry gender lines.
