This doesn't work. Yes, any woman could become the victim of sexual assault. No, not any man could sexually assault women.https://twitter.com/Pappiness/status/919752795280027648 …

As far as harassment goes? Definitely. Rapists? More than a small proportion definitely but - I'd say not a huge portion either.
-
Well, harassment depends on your own perception. Rape does not. This is forced sex. What % of men do you think commit rape?!
-
Statistics on sexual violence are notoriously unreliable. So I wouldn't hazard a guess. But I do think *most* women in most countries, barring some Uber egalitarian European nations - face harassment.

Prefaced by a 'think'. How about you calm your offence triggers?

It's very difficult to not to be offended by blatant denigration of one sex. 10 -15% of men are rapists? It's the purest sexist bigotry.
-
10-25% is bigotry???!! when by the popularity of this hashtag alone - you get the 'impression' that a significant portion women experience assault of some form or another? What, it's 2% that's assaulting all these women?
-
Yes, it is. Most rapists are repeat offenders, not entirely new people, and the rates of rape are incredibly low by any reasonable account.

This is a big strategic & moral question. Do we say sexual predators are rare and evil and we must all fight them? /1
-
Or do we communicate that all men are predators and the difference between Weinstein and most men is just a matter of degree? 2/2
-
You're trying to make a point about 'inherently predatory' versus 'socialised predatory'. I think that social influences are extremely pernicious currently - so while all boys are not inherently predatory - especially during teen years
-
It's ridiculously easy for them to cross over into the casually harassing side. Maybe without knowledge, peer pressure, etc. So it's easy. Unless there are strong countervailing influences.
-
'casually harassing' for teen boys sounds a lot like 'not knowing how to approach girls'
-
I'm sorry what??? That's THE most apologetic statement ever. Hey girls, sorry you felt harassed and scared and wanted to run home - he just didn't know how to approach you??? Why not TEACH boys how to approach or.. stay away!
-
There is no one right way to approach women. It is harassment if he is insulting or does not go away when asked to.
-
In some cultures girls are expected to be dismissive even if interested and boys are expected to keep trying when dismissed

Plus it's not about the number of men who are 'offenders' when we say 'for most of us assault is at zero' right? Even IF it was a small number - significant portion of women could be affected. So to say 'most of us' which is speaking for a majority is inaccurate methinks?
