with it's victim blaming bullshit.

Our culture tells men that they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whomever they want. We are teaching our boys and young men that men don't have to exercise any self-control whatsoever. If you don't want to be a victim of men's lack of self-control, that responsibility falls on you, not them. You must control your actions, your words, your life. They are fee to do what they want.

It is such a childish way to view the world that I am baffled how so many think this is manly behavior.

Sea, I am just so sad for our species & where we are headed, both culturally, environmentally & most of all, spiritually. We seem to be a species at war with itself I feel, we will be unable to evolve socially until we deal with this cancer called patriarchy.
