10. I completely agree that young men should be educated on what rape is. And how important it is.

But the idea of NOT warning young women about the dangers of rape in this world doesn't sound at all smart. I mean, it's like not acknowledging that there are bad people out there. Who care not one iota about laws and how to conduct themselves in society. What harm does it do to warn young women? Empower them to be prepared for any situation. In an ideal world, she would never have any concerns. But we aren't there today. That whole thread seems to just be a replay of he dozens beforehand. Generalizations about how "some" say this or that. That being said, I love threads like that. Red meat for a lurker like myself. Silly me, I thought the absence of Meta would decrease those.
