I feel like your comment was trying to make a point and ended up stating some trivial facts. Could you elaborate on what your point is?

- chongli 9y agoPerhaps it's too nihilistic a point to make at this juncture but it goes like this: How are we doing at reducing all instances of crime among men? If we can't get people to stop stealing, what hope do we have to convince them not to harass and assault? I just don't buy the standard argument "teach men not to rape". How do we do that? It's not a simple matter of saying "rape is bad, okay?" What we're dealing with here are tremendous forces of poverty, social atomization, and alienation. People who feel like they are on the outside looking in often have no problem ignoring the rules which really exist only to protect insiders anyway.
- falsedan 9y agoI appreciate the reply, and I agree with your point.
