Hmmm, I don't actually believe I said that it doesn't matter how good a person is, or that it doesn't matter that you, and the majority of men, are decent human beings that wouldn't think of assaulting another person. I'm sorry to point out that good people ARE painted in a bad light because of a few bad apples. As a woman, I'm 100% more wary of men than I am of women. Standing at a bus stop late at night, I'm 100% more nervous if there is a lone man standing nearby than if it was a woman. I don't know that guy, and he may well be the sweetest, gentlest guy that wouldn't hurt a hair on my head. But guess what? Because of a few bad apples, I'd rather not take that chance. Is that my fault? I don't think so. Is it safe for me to assume that that fellow is completely safe and a good guy by virtue of the fact that I know nothing about his personal behavior? I'm sorry, but it is not safe. He may or may not try to hurt me, but I'm not going to hedge a bet. He's a good person until he's not, and by then, it's too late for me. I really don't think I'm an ignorant fuck for that either.
The behavior of good people absolutely DOES matter. But do you honestly think that the "not all men" argument is good behavior by good people? If you do, please explain to me why that is?
But in the context of this argument of "not all men", DOES it actually matter that you personally would not victimize a woman? I'm assuming you're a male, and as a male, doesn't it piss you off that there ARE guys out there that do this? Doesn't it piss you off that, as a guy that wouldn't hurt a woman, you feel like you have to defend yourself as a good person because a few bad apples and their bad behavior? If I was a guy, I'd be fucking raging. So why aren't you raging against those predators instead of telling me I'm an ignorant fuck if I'm pissed off and feel that, yeah great, YOU wouldn't personally hurt a woman, and because of that you wash your hands of the whole issue and take offense that you could possibly be lumped in with those bad apples. Be fucking mad that those predators paint you with the same brush by proxy.
Honestly, I like to believe in the best in people, male and female, but the very sad reality is that, as a woman, I'm 100% more wary of men than I am of women.
I'm not going to call you an ignorant fuck, but I'm sorry, I feel that you're completely ignorant to what it's like from a woman's perspective. If you don't like what I said, I'm sorry you took offense to it.
