I'm finding I can't get too deeply involved in this, but there are some excellent posts and comments that deserve to be read and thought about.
What it has brought to my mind is Kyle Payne, the guy who self-identified as a radical feminist anti-porn activist, who counseled sexual assault victms and was later arrested for assaulting a young woman. he is an "anti-porn" man who self-identified as a radical feminist. A man who supposedly did and said the right things, who was vocally against sexual violence. And a man who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman and kept video to enjoy later.*
So fuck all of you who argue that we should give men the benefit of the doubt, or that we're just too hypersensitive, or that we are anti-male for being distrustful of men around us. Rapists don't wear labels. When women distrust men in general we are fucking justified. And when we actually say it, when women dare to tell the truth of their lives, we are trying to tell men/society something.
When they try to shut that down? They're making it perfectly clear that they don't give a shit about women's lives.
