**Quartz** you still haven’t addressed the OP. Why are you so fixated on rape, and all the ways that women use it to harm men? No, “I start other threads too” is not a valid answer. ---

Probably for the same reasons that Skald didn’t, because there’s not much there that he can defend. He’s free to prove me wrong if he likes, of course. oops, we simulposted - this was in response to **Sunny Daze**. But of course he still hasn’t responded to your question. ---

> [@Sunny\_Daze](#): > > **Quartz** you still haven’t addressed the OP. Why are you so fixated on rape, and all the ways that women use it to harm men? No, “I start other threads too” is not a valid answer. Actually, “I start other threads too” is an entirely valid answer given I have started so many. Threads mentioning rape are a very small minority. But have you actually read the threads? Or did you just read the title and pass? Do you really think they’re about rape? Hint: try substituting ‘black’ for the man and ‘American police’ for the woman. Men accused by women in personal matters get a raw deal. Rape is newsworthy, so they get articles and thus can be linked; lesser crimes are not so newsworthy so they don’t. ---
