Why so many "anti-feminists" in the atheist community?

It's not the same. Women have their OWN unique interfaces with the things that tend to light up their own neural circuitry. Yes, all people are different, but I don't see a lot of guys watching "Lifetime" network with a box of tissues at the ready.


Quote:No one is labelling that as dysfunction other than retarded people. But saying, for instance, that men rape attractive provocative women just because "that's how men are, boys will be boys" is a psychological and social problem is not inaccurate at all.
Let's say one guy is in the top 1% of sexually-motivated people, and is also drunk, and by circumstance ends up alone with your provocatively-dressed female. Should he rape her? No, of course not. He's wrong to do it, because we've established that rape is always to be considered wrong. And yet surely a sensible person can see that all the moral correctness in the world is not going to stop the woman from getting raped.

The problem is that while, individually, we can blame a man for not resisting his urges, statistically, the male behavior shows trends that do in fact mean that "boys will be boys." And X% of these boys, in certain circumstances, will commit rape. And no world view or legal system will prevent this, because it's ingrained in the species at a genetic level.
