13. Back in the stone ages, young men my age treated batterers and rapists as criminals.

And that battering and rape were serious crimes and the perpetrators belonged in prison or worse.

Media has now made an art of it and a game to see who wins by scoring their acts. I'd like to ask them what prize do they really think they are getting, hurting another human being, but I think I know the answer.

Fortunately, young males I know IRL aren't sick like that, don't accept that way of thinking. As to those who do, they'd tell me to STFU, and it makes you wonder, reading their online rants about feminists, what they are doing IRL. I don't expect personalities to change much when they have left the keyboard. JMHO.

Comparing rape to cannibalism. I find that disturbing. nt littlemissmartypants Sep 2014 #39

You don't agree that rape should be as unacceptable as cannibalism? KitSileya Sep 2014 #40

cannabalism is taboo, and rape should be too, but it is not noiretextatique Sep 2014 #41
