I guess when these threads pop up almost every single day and people fire off comments that make it sound like they're broad brushing 50% of the world's population:
Rape is a horrible thing. I think everyone, man or woman, on this forum agrees with that.
I remember reading a thread where posters say that all men are "potential rapists" and need to be monitored; how dare they? I guess we can say all women are "potential gold-diggers", then, since it's historically women who marry older men for their money?
