And focuses quite a bit on alcohol and party situations (where I'd venture to guess most rapes happen on college campuses), that kind of situation needs to be labeled as rape. The men's group reaction was utterly oblivious to any of that.

It once used the word men. The fact is 99% of rapists are men. They can pretend that isn't the case, but it doesn't make it so. Why would any person who wasn't a rapist object to that ad?

Having drunk hookups or predatory behavior at parties being labeled as rape is a direct assault on their manhood.

Some have taken exception to the fact the law deems such behavior rape, and here they claim men don't need anti-rape education. The contradictions are clear.
