It really isn't the 'gotcha' you think it is. We all know rapists still exist & agree stopping them before they rape would be better than developing methods for women to protect themselves from them.If you genuinely have a start-up idea that will do that, go for it. I'll back you

Until you do discover a way to eradicate violent sexual criminals, please consider a) not making it taboo to discuss or invent ways to make women safer and b) whether confusing 'violent sexual criminals' with 'men' will help reduce incidents of sexual assault in any way.

Something clearly isn't working, let's keep brainstorming.
-
Because rapists still exist? I think criminals who defy both the law and social norms always will.
-
Personally, I'll keep calling it out when I see it. That's something I can do, if we ignore it, it can only perpetuate.
-
Well, yeah! No-one's suggesting ignoring it. I think the prosecution of it & sex offenders register & social abhorrence of it are very positive things. Keep abhorring, please!

I'll never forget that little talk my father gave me about how I shouldn't murder people. Just kidding! He never did that. Which is why I kill somebody every other day.

I’ve found it a great way to relieve stress.

Yours AND theirs. It's a twofer.

i think the reason this idea doesn't die, is that it garners huge amounts of 'likes' on social media platforms. Makes the sender feel good about themselves. I really don't think there is much else to it. No serious thought behind it, anyway.

Distorted evidence is one idea upholding that idea. In Canada 70% of self-reported sexual assault is 'unwanted touching'. Franken's putting his arm around a woman for a group photo is the latest groping allegation against him. We need better definitions. Dial back the melodrama.

Once you realise that a reduction in rape would result in a reduction in feminists' income the reactions make a lot more sense.

In seriousness - it doesn’t work.
@ahenshawIA has sources (and is one - he used to work in prevention for a living). -
Predators don’t commit assault b/c they don’t know it’s wrong - they do it b/c they don’t care.

Mostly it won't die, because Feminists need an easily identified enemy to re-enforce their contention the world is a hostile place for women, and it'd all be wonderful if we could just control those awful mens.
