You know, nearly each and every freedom we have here in our great nations (Canada, the United States, the UK, Australia, France, etc) was paid for by the blood and noble self sacrifice of thousands (millions) of men. A great majority of every medicine, drug, medical technique or treatment used to cure and treat disease was developed and pioneered by men. A vast majority of the great companies which has created jobs, built industry, created new products (like the computers we are all using to communicate right now) were started and run by men. A great majority of the laws which permit our great societies to prosper and a great majority of the institutions which sustain and nourish our great nations was built by and sweat, blood, tears and enterprise of men. A great majority of the technology we use, even which is being developed right now, was and is developed and created by the sweat of a man's brow and the genius of a man's mind. Men have done all of these things, and more - often at great personal risk and with much personal suffering - and they did it (and continue to do it) usually without complaint or even a word of discontent.

But yet, despite this overwhelming history of great achievement and self sacrifice by men it is wrong and "misogynistic" to automatically consider men to be more creative, intelligent, forthright, hard working and noble then women. And I have no problem with that because it is only right and just that we take that approach. Women are our equals in every way and are very much deserving of equal respect and treatment.

What I do have a problem with is the fact that a majority of rapes have been and continue to be committed by men, and society is quick (indeed eager) to taint ALL men with the stains of this villainy.

If it is wrong and unjust to bless men with the nobility earned by a legion of good men, then it is fundamentally wrong and unjust to curse men with the villainy of a much sparser hoard of evil men.
