It pisses me off, too, and I can easily see how it can be incredibly offensive. Just off the top of my head, I can think of two biggies:
1) If, by her own admission, 1 out of 60 guys is a rapist, why do the other 59 have to be treated like a rapist?
2) If we're considering the psychological impact culture has on people, what do you think the psychological impact is on a guy who's being told he's automatically a potential rapist?
Heck, let's dip into a third one
3) If feminism is about eliminating gender stereotypes and sexism, why aren't we looking at the gendered stereotype that says men are considered sex offenders until proven otherwise?
