Thoughout 60 years upon this planet I have have had cause to speak with, associate or cope with men of many races, cultures, ethnicities, ideologies, ages, classes, education, judgments, and habits.
I left home just before turning 17 in 1967 and must report that the average man, in my experience, is a person in control of his urges, intelligent, thoughtful, strong, of good character and polite.
I was raped as a teen hitch-hiking across the USA and had a few try it in Canada too during the 1070s. I did not hold on to the experience and allow it to colour my life. In fact, I grew to admire men and their accomplishments. Why hold onto a bad experience?
I would not want to live in a world without men.
Only a small percentage of men are rapists. Good grief! There are 7 billion plus people on the planet. If all men were slaves to their testosterone and acting out their primitive urges upon women and children without thought we would not even exist!!!
The human race would have expired in its infancy.
To generalize men as active or potential rapists is to define women as manipulative, greedy, destructive, shallow, weak and of low intelligence. Unfortunately, too many women do display these unpleasant characteristics today - but - most do not.
