rape enablers, sexual harassment apologists, misogynists.

Anyone who cry, "but what about men who don't have social skills, you're making it impossible for them to get laid if you reject the right of men to talk to women anywhere, anytime, about anything, regardless of her stated wishes or clear body language" are ok with breaking women's boundaries, and what is rape and sexual harassment but a refusal to acknowledge that women have the right to set their own boundaries?

For example, anyone who defends the jerk who hit on Rebecca Watson in that elevator is a sexual harassment apologist. There are several here on DU. Jameis Winton/Roman Polanski/MikeTyson defenders? Rape enablers.
