I think making accusations of "rape culture" and "gender genocide" undermines the laudable goal of gender equality. I suspect radical feminists don't really care about gender equality, and that means they will not get my support, and I certainly don't care, as an atheist, to be associated with their message.Maybe accusations of rape culture would stop coming out if victim blaming and extreme pity people have for rapists stopped existing... Ever heard a comment like Oh she had short clothes, that was a deserved rape.
The men who say shit like that are an extremely small minority, nowadays, and when such is uttered by a public figure they are rightfully excoriated. How, then, does that translate into an entire culture which supports the rape of women? The vast majority of men that I know do not trivialize rape. The vast majority of men I know don't deny that rape is a serious crime. The vast majority of men I know feel no sympathy for rapists.
Feel free to provide counterexamples.
I don't like it when someone assumes that because I'm a man, I'm blithe to the crime of rape. Not only is such an assumption untrue, it's unfair. Yet radical feminists are happy to sling shit like that simply on the basis of what's in my tacklebox. Sloppy thinking is sloppy thinking, and unfariness is unfairness.
