        ""Why are you not teaching men not to rape?" Was thrown in my direction. Seems overly facetious to reply "they refuse to turn up to class"".

        This attitude from your friend angers me. I think self-defense classes are great and should be taken by all.

        My girlfriend works at a vintage boutique. They got some vintage Cheongsams in stock and got rallied against for "Cultural Appropriation."

        For fuck’s sake. My daughter will be told to take reasonable precautions, I’d rather that then tell her to do nothing & she gets raped.

        This is exactly how bad people get away with bad things, making people fearful of being safe.

        Pretty sure women's self defense classes used to be considered empowering 🤷🏼‍♀️

        What’s strange is that people act like men AREN’T taught not to rape. But men are taught that, from the time we’re small on up.

        At least in my case that was true.
