“Teach men not to rape.”

Show me parents that teach their kids to rape. Show me a western society that says it’s okay to rape someone. Show me.

You can’t.

When you say “teach men not to rape,” first, you throw that fact that there are female rapists out the door. That’s horrific.

Secondly, you are saying that it’s others’ faults if someone rapes. “He wasn’t taught properly.” I, as a parent, plan to teach me children about sex/sexuality from a young age, and how important consent is. If my children rape, is it my fault? I didn’t “teach” them properly? No, that’s garbage.

If someone has their brain twisted enough to want that much power, it is rooted that way. They’ll either deny the urge or do it, and that’s nobody else’s fault. Rapists will rape no matter how they are ‘taught.’ And we need to stop this whole, “teach men not to rape,” bullshit.
