To any posts addressing me in this thread on the subject of women’s views toward men as a result of sexual assault, and my view that they have an important impact on our ability as a species to address the problem, I am reluctant to answer you in this thread anymore because it would be perpetuating what had become a hijack.
Spice Weasel started a thread about that topic specifically, so that this thread could be devoted to sharing experiences without arguing about how to solve the problem.
My only motivation in posting on this subject at all is as an advocate. I’m not posting because I take anything that anyone says on a message board personally or because I feel threatened or insulted that some victims respond one way or another. I’m on quite solid and high ground in both my opinion and activism on this subject and only posted to say what, essentially, Spice Weasel wound up saying much better in her thread.
