      ""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"".

          85,000 rapes annually (Rape Crisis E&W 2017). 29 million men in E&W. 99.7% of men don't rape women. Why would this question arise?

          The same people will travel to far more misogynistic parts of the world and never complain about modest clothing advice/requirements.

          Such people have an idealised version of the world that is simply never going to happen. Which is quite handy for the narrative I guess.

          I'd advise ppl to respect modest clothing standards if visiting some parts of the world, not bc I agree, but for their own safety.

          But it speaks well of our society that we clarify that self-defense does not imply violence is your fault.

          Needn't be mutually exclusive. Teach your sons to respect women & help your daughters protect themselves from men who were poorly raised.

          Why teach practical skills which will pay off in the real world when you could blindly follow an ideal and morally denounce others?

          Nothing is more ridiculous than the notion that men in America don't know it's bad or illegal to rape people.
