This comment by Amy glass on the post No, That’s Not What Men Do
Your article calls on men to stop being aggressive towards women? How about a call to ALL people to quit being violent towards each other? Many women are violent towards males be it their sons or husbands/ boyfriends or just towards men in general. And how about calling for men to also quit being violent towards each other? Men are far more violent towards other men than towards women! 4 out of 5 people killed in the world are men- not women- despite the fact that all the calls are for violence towards women be reduced. In any war, innocent male civilians are far more likely to be massacred than women which is why most refugees are women. They are still alive and breathing hence have a chance to escape a war torn area.

Enough with this 1900 nonsence, we… Read more »
Yes, violence is not a gender issue, but a human issue. Rape and incest are aspects of violence not gender issues. To curb sexual assaults of all kinds, we need to curb violence of all kinds. There is no “blaming the victim” if all are both victims and to blame. I am witness to how violence has become a mainstream entertainment venue and women/girls are encouraged by the media to be as “kickass” as men. We must become aware of the subconscious approval of violence that permeates our society through both genders and how all of us are both victims… Read more »
