Why is their inclination to rape separate from their humanity? How isn't it all just part of the overall package? Because if we're here to fulfill biological imperatives to breed then why wouldn't we expect rape not to be men's inclination especially when they don't get the sex and relationships they want? Personally, if men can be taught not to be an inherent threat to girls and women I'd like to see it and not accepting anything less is how we can reconcile risking not only our lives but our friends and families to co-exist, fuck and produce more males.

That’s the thing, it’s not separate from their humanity. But they are obviously fundamentally different from women in that they choose to rape, kill, abuse, overpower, dominate, and oppress and they’ve been doing so for millennia. My previous view of people as a whole included men and women belonging to the same category, but it’s now clear to me that men are a different type of human. Different enough that it warrants a new category, and I’m struggling to define that.

How can they be taught to not be an inherent threat? If something is inherent, then how can someone be taught out of it?
